Problem space

When I joined Included Health, I helped the team define and build an MVP enabled patients to get mental health care virtually.

After landing a foundation, the next ~6 months were about creating an experience that was reliable, consumer-grade, and easy to use.

How might we build a mental health experience that meets patients where they are?

Discovery

Discovery

I helped generate artifacts that expanded our existing body of research on our users. Through moderated interviews and workshops, we crafted shareable, high-level personas and user journeys.

Visualizing highs and lows

We developed a bird's eye view of the journey our patients take towards care, and used that to visualize barriers, pain points, and gain points.

Needs & Solutions

Seamless scheduling and deep bios

We took the pain out of finding a provider. I helped introduce the calendar element as a design system component.

Simple, convenient video visits

We created a reliable and persistent spot to review appointments and jump into the visits. We simplified the in-visit UI to better focus on the connection with clinicians.

Extensible, multi-device visit platform

Patients can take their visits on web, iOS, or Android.

The in-visit UI was designed to be immersive, cross-platform, and extendable to urgent and primary care.

Driving clinically-significant improvement

I helped design features on both the member and the provider apps to conduct and monitor anxiety and depression assessments.
