Electronic Medical Record – Patient View

The project involved designing and developing an EMR for RAMPmedical. Working within a small team, we collaborated with a hospital in Argentina to create the tool. We successfully launched and iterated, helping the medical doctors of the Hematology area of the HIGA Hospital begin their digitization process.

Target

  1. Medical Doctors & Practices (B2C / B2B)


Overview


Context

RAMPmedical is an AI decision-support software that helps doctors finding the best treatments for their patients based on medical guidelines. However, in the standalone version, patient data was not stored -requiring physicians to re-enter patient information each time.


Team

Myself (the only designer), CEO, Sales, 2 Technical Developers (Frontend + Backend).

Medical Advisory Board: 2 senior medical doctors


Objective

Create an easy-to-use EMR for medical doctors and small practices.

Increase adoption of the CDS standalone version by enabling patient data storage.


What did I do?

> Designed a 0→1 part of the software, that integrated the current version but could also work independently, expanding the company's offer.

> Led the entire design process, collaborating with the Sales, Technology, and Marketing teams.

> Planned and conducted all design activities.

> Oversaw the project timeline and conducted quality assurance.


Outcome

We launched the first version of the EMR and received continuous feedback from users and clients, which allowed us to keep iterating.


After conducting unmoderated user testing, we made a major change to the navigation system, which increased the average time spent using the software.


Result

The EMR was launched and continuously improved over the following year, based on user feedback.


We had our first hospital department actively using the system and co-creating new features—contributing to the iteration of both the EMR and our core CDS solution.
