At Lasarrus we fight Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease. But why & how? The financial burden of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease is Too High. Patients have a 30-day readmission rate of 24%.

Our solution is the world's first wearable multimodal physiological sensing system. Our technology addresses the data gap to reduce hospitalization cost and readmission rates.

Our wearable solution creates a portfolio of physiological parameters that allow for a comprehensive cardiopulmonary assessment to be used for early symptom identification and treatment.

While working at Lasarrus I have been assigned to lead three main projects. The first was to re-design their website with a focus on adding a minimalistic landing page that directed users to our wearable medical device or our Physical Therapist (Website linked below project info). The second was to design an IOS and desktop application that allowed our users to bluetooth connect multiple wearable physiological sensing system’s and track Lung, Heart and Kinematic data in real time. This data would then be monitored by the patients assigned doctor. The second project was to design a doctor to patient dashboard. This dashboard would allow doctors we work with to monitor and track their patients data, schedule meetings with their patients and communicate with them regarding urgent changes in data.

I started these projects by analyzing Lasarrus and our users. I then conducted user interviews to get a better understanding of our users' needs. This allowed me to focus on the path we wanted to take during the development of these projects. At this time my main goal was to follow Nielsen’s 10 Usability Heuristics. To do so I searched through the company's UX design file’s to gather as much information on their design style. I did this with the hopes of finding references and gaining an understanding of colors, fonts, text sizes and hierarchy typically used at Lasarrus. This allowed me to design the three projects in accordance with Nielsen’s fourth heuristic, consistency and standards. I then went on to analyze all the ways that the patient could hit dead ends and ensured the design would lead them in the right directions. This made sure that the dashboard had proper error prevention therefore helping users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors. Both of the heuristic above allowed me to confidently design using aesthetic and minimalist design which offered user control and freedom. My next challenge was to find a way for the doctor to be notified when the user had urgent changes in data. I had designed many iterations to come up with a system that would provide a match between system and the real world. My final design used a bell on the dashboard home page, next to the patients name and on the doctors profile page. The doctor would be able to select the bell on any page and be directed to the profile page where the patients urgent matter would be highlighted. This allowed me to incorporate the tenth, help and documentation heuristic. Which ultimately finalized all 10 of Nielsen’s principles creating an efficient and simple design for our users.
