CONTEXT

At emergency and urgent care, mid/low severity patients often wait for many hours prior to receiving treatment. Patients are not given estimated wait times and must remain in place in order to avoid missing their name being called. At times, the waiting area can be busy, over-stimulating and potentially distressing.

DESIGN QUESTION

How might we increase patient comfort, freedom and awareness while waiting to receive treatment at emergency care?

FEATURED PROJECT

The project featured here is a comprehensive redesign of Appara’s entity management system (a cloud-based database that legal firm’s use to store corporate and client records), also known as Records. I led the planning, research, and design phases, while playing a key role in reviewing and guiding the implementation.
