As a Senior UX/UI Designer at OrthoLogIQ, I redesigned the ‘Add Patient’ and ‘Edit Patient’ experiences to reduce cognitive load, improve accuracy, and streamline workflows for busy clinicians.

The original layout was cluttered, hard to navigate and time consuming

I introduced a structured, step based flow for adding patients and a simplified tabbed layout for editing, making data entry faster, clearer and easier - even under time pressure.

 

Impact & Key Results

🕒 43% Time Reduction – Reduced clinician patient data entry time from 3 minutes to 1.7 minutes, helping clinicians complete entries more quickly, especially under time pressure.

Fewer Data Entry Errors – Clearer UI and a structured step by step flow reduced common input mistakes and rework

👍  Higher Clinician Satisfaction – Clinicians found the platform easier to navigate and the summary step boosted confidence

Improved Accessibility - Updated colour contrast + keyboard friendly navigation



Challenge

Clinicians faced cognitive overload due to a cluttered, three column layout with excessive scrolling and poor field grouping… leading to user errors, frustration and longer workflows.

The ‘Edit Patient’ screen replicated these issues, offering no improvement in usability.


Solution

I redesigned the flows to align better with clinician workflows and technical constraints:

  • Add Patient: A 3 step wizard…

1. General (Personal + Surgery Info)

2. MotionSense (Wearable Setup)

3. Create Patient (Summary + Confirmation)

  • Edit Patient: A tabbed layout to reduce visual noise and separate key content clearly.
