Problem Statement

A homecare startup is growing fast, bringing in new clients every month. With this growth, there’s more demand for new features to meet each client’s needs, plus the need to update the current software. The goal is to make the user experience as seamless as possible and to ensure the design system remains scalable for future growth.

How might we make our software flexible and scalable to meet growing client demands?

But first…

What's Verveware?

It's a Chicago-based startup revolutionizing the Homecare industry with user-friendly technology that simplifies processes and improves client care.

It's an Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) software service precisely constructed to simplify the task of confirming visits and delivering claims to IDoA and MCOs.

Objective

Build a design system that's scalable and works across various platforms, from marketing materials to software designs.

Using the component library as a base, redesign all the screens for both mobile and web portals, and add new features along the way. Ensure the designs are accessible and undergo usability testing, always keeping the target audience in focus.

Design System

Here's a sneak peak into the design system and the component library.

Information Architecture

We meticulously crafted the information architecture to ensure an intuitive and seamless navigation experience for the caregivers and the admins. This involved creating a comprehensive site map that outlined the user flow from scheduling to writing a feedback.

Mobile Design

Based on the design system created and the information architechture, we designed all the screens for the existing mobile device and also created new ones for the Admin.

Web Design

Verveware also has a web portal for the administrators to use to manage payroll and client-caregiver matching. We integrated new features as part of the project to ensure seamless user experience.

The Tags feature is all about quick, at-a-glance information. Clients get tagged with things like "Vegetarian" or "Diabetic," while caregivers can have tags like "Diabetes Care Specialist" or "Vegetarian Cooking." These tags stand out and are easy to spot, which means care coordinators can quickly identify who might be the best fit. It’s all about making sure the right people are matched up efficiently.

This feature lets care coordinators filter through potential matches based on a bunch of criteria like location, availability, language, and those handy tags. It’s not just about finding anyone; it’s about finding the right fit. For example, coordinators can search for caregivers who speak a specific language, work certain hours, and have experience with diabetic care. This makes sure that matches are not just good, but spot-on.

Reflections
  1. Once the design system and screen prototypes were finalized, they were handed over to the development team for implementation.

  2. Post-launch, we conducted usability testing, which provided valuable insights into how users engaged with the subtle features and microinteractions that elevated their overall experience.

  3. Through this project, I honed my Figma skills, particularly in working with variables and conditions. To share my learnings, I published a Medium article titled, An Introduction to Figma Variables🦊
