Projects

2024
Ai Healthcare assistant at Healthwise

Background:
A huge value prop of healthwises content library is the diverse language support. 20 languages are supported in their content library and as a big push to demonstrate that, artificial intelligence is being used to showcase how translation services can be used to deliver content and instruction.

I worked with the product and marketing team to build a demo that showcased the new use of an ai chat bot that would allow patients to collect content info and swap languages on the fly.

Process:
I worked with the marketing to craft a story through data that a sales person could use to walk through the demo and highlight how the dashboard adapted and provided feedback to the user of the dashboard while they were pitching the dashboard.

I also worked with the product team to build out flexible components that could be used and adapted in future demos.

2023
Analytics Components + Documentation at Healthwise

I worked on updating and writing documentation for the Healthwise Analytics Component library.

Creating charts and tables from scratch can be needlessly time consuming, so we created small atomic pieces that can be rearranged, adapted, and composed to quickly iterate and prototype large sets of data - all without needing to detach a single component.

This saved the demo team (me and a few other designers) a ton of time when when working through product demos that need to tell a story through the data.

A big part of creating these components was documenting the how, why, and when these components for other designers on the large, distributed design team.

2023
Prescription Analytics at Healthwise

Healthwise builds healthcare education applications that help hospitals prescribe, manage, and engage with their patients before, during, and after treatment.

Advise allowed care providers a way to analyze how well their prescribed content was doing throughout their healthcare system. They could drill all the way down to a specific title, in a specific language, coming from a single care provider.

We needed to tell a story with this demo that showcased an office that was out performing the others, and an office that needed to improve based on their patients usage rates of the pieces of content.
