HumanFirst has a database of health monitoring devices. Clinical researchers come to their platform to look for devices to measure patient health during a trial. I worked closely with their team to build out an ever changing product based on customer needs over the corse of a year.
This case study is broken into 4 mini case studies.
1. Search Tech
2. Measure Trees
3. Product Detail Page
4.Filtering Your Catalog
Researchers come to HumanFirst with an idea of what they want to measure in their study. Search allows them to browse technology (products).
We wanted to make the starting place for search as simple as possible. Most researchers we talked to only care about what each product measured so we made search by measure the default.
From the search results page, the researcher could either open a individual product page or select products to compare.
Each product has hundreds of data points to compare. Finding the ones you really care about can be challenging. We added favorite data so you can pin relevant data points to the top of the compare.
Once you have a group of projects you can save them to your catalog for later reference. You can also start a workspace which is a separate side of the product.
Straightening your teeth is a long complicated treatment that takes years to complete. We mapped out this process and how it affects the different users over time.
There are hundreds of different metrics tech can measure. To help researchers quantify what they want to measure HumanFirst categorized them into concepts. We organized measures into cascading trees for the researchers to navigate.
We felt that this tree had a good balance of being compact but readable at the same time. It isn't a perfect solution but it was the best we came up with given the constrains.
Some researchers wanted to explore all measures before searching for tech. This library shows all measures on the HumanFirst platform. Some of these tress get quite long. We later added expand all and collapse all buttons so they could reset the tree states with ease.
The breakdown at the top provides an overview of the listed papers below. Every piece of technology has evidence backing up what it can measure. It is important for researchers to see the validity of this evidence and which papers support which measures.
Along with measures researchers are looking for general information on this products such as battery-life, cost, and security. We have broken down this information into a ‘nutrition label’ for each product. We make this information easy to digest with icons and color.
The technology database has a lot of information. It is important for researchers to sort and filter to find what they are looking for quickly. We created a dynamic filter bar that is compatible with any table.
