As the UX Strategist/Designer for [Redacted] Pharma Company's Madeline Study, my role was pivotal in translating a two-year study on cancer patients into an engaging and accessible website exclusively for participants. The challenge was to seamlessly replicate the mobile app's user experience on both desktop and mobile devices while maintaining Madeline's established branding.
Our primary goal was to fulfill the commitment made to patients by delivering valuable study information through a patient-friendly website. The emphasis was on encouraging participants to engage positively with the study results and content, fostering a strong sense of connection with [Redacted] Pharma Company.
The journey began by leveraging the familiarity of the original app's login pattern, ensuring participants felt at ease from the start. A linear path with forward and backward arrows was provided, accompanied by a menu for non-linear exploration. The design focused on a mobile-first approach, emphasizing simplicity and accessibility for users, including those aged 50 and above.
The objective is to encourage the Madeline study participants to engage with the study results and content to engender positive patient sentiment towards Pfizer.
The IA began with what we knew which is users will need a way to access this exclusive information. We proposed that their journey would begin in the same their documentation journey began - with a login. We repurposed the pattern from the original app so that a familiar experience would be carried over. After logging in they will land on a page that will directly lead to the study result data.
They will be prompt with a call-to-action button that will guide them through a linear path through all pages guided by forward and backward arrows. Alternatively, they have the option to view non-linear pages by using the menu button to view a specific page.
Infographics were employed to transform complex data into a compelling narrative. User feedback research highlighted preferences for simplified language, short paragraphs, and graphics/icons to enhance textual content. Popular data visualizations included donut and pie charts, offering users control over how they consumed information.
What we found:
What we found:
The content was supplied in a Word document with very little visuals. It was a collaboration between me and art direction to come up with way to visualize this data so that its an accurate portrayal of data, users will understand it, and will ft in both mobile and desktop screens.
The design experience is to be be simple and approachable since users are not scientists. It needs to be accessible for users over the age of 50 with a easy to use on screen navigation.
The responsive design eliminated carousels, optimized engagement buttons for each data visual, and maintained consistent navigation across devices. The mobile-first approach facilitated easy navigation through multiple data sets, ensuring a user-friendly experience.
Midway through the project, an add-on request to integrate data from a related study was accommodated seamlessly. This required us to incorporate additional navigation and structure the website to accomodate 2 experiences. Users could select their study at login and crosslink between websites with a consistent button, maintaining a unified user experience.
Below shows the sitemap with the integration of the second website.
The finish designs incorporated a considerate and empathetic experience that delivered content and data in a concise user-friendly way to the participants who were included in the study. The app allows for a user experience that is non-linear and lets users choose what content they want to see in the manner in which they choose. It also provided not just a simplified navigation experience but an easy to use user feedback feature to account for the data users found the most interesting or relatable to them.
Success was measured through site visits, time on site, top pages viewed, page views per visit, and user engagement, including likes and other interactions.r
The Madeline Study Website stands as a testament to [Redacted] Pharma Company's commitment to patient-centric design, providing participants with an accessible, engaging, and informative platform to explore and connect with their study results.
