- FOR

Pulse Systems Inc.


At Pulse Systems, I improved the User Experience, the User Interface and Front-End code quality of three web-based medical applications, Practice Management, Revenue Cycle Management and Clinical EHR (Electronic Health Records).


My UX Design Process focuses on asking lots of questions, listening to experts, observing their actions so our applications will make a tough job easier. I used Personas, Journey Maps, Whiteboard collaboration, UI Audits, and Prototypes with User Testing.

PROCESS: Personas help a designer gain understanding.

PROCESS: Journey Maps show how Personas work together and uncover common goals

PROCESS: Sharing whiteboards with experts, use different colors to denote links, directional information, text to guide stakeholders through decisions.

PROCESS: Whiteboards showing interaction by drawing hover states, tool tips and open drop-downs

PROCESS: During a UX Audit, focusing on filters, there was no unity and users did not know where to begin, labels were not limited and made drop-downs unruly. Gather lots of realistic example data at this stage

PROCESS: Sketch files are useful for making multiple versions and exploring variations

PROCESS: Showing a high-fidelity design from Sketch that is isolated from the rest of the user interface can focus the attention of an audience for feedback

PROCESS: A Sketch design within the context of the full application informs the stakeholders and confirms design choices for InVision

PROCESS: From Sketch to InVision, single images are synced to a clickable prototype for greater design collaboration

PROCESS: From InVision to Maze a clickable prototype is now ready for user testing from stakeholders and beta testers to ensure the product works as expected
