Introduction

I am currently a UX Designer at Virufy, a nonprofit using AI to transform respiratory health. My contributions include designing mobile flows that simplify onboarding, guide testing, and present results in ways that build trust and accessibility.

Problem

Respiratory testing introduces unique design challenges, from helping users apply tools correctly, to ensuring results feel accurate, consistent, and trustworthy.

Access: Testing should work across environments and skill levels.
Trust: Clear feedback helps users believe in AI results.
Accuracy: Results must stay reliable, even in low-resource settings.

Research

Understanding Patient Needs
‍

  • Clarity matters: Health results should be presented in plain, accessible language.
  • Trust matters: Users need confidence that AI-driven outcomes are accurate and reliable.
  • Ease matters: Simple steps and clear guidance reduce confusion during testing.
  • Accessibility matters: Designs must support older adults and those with limited technical skills.
  • Privacy matters: People expect secure handling of personal health data.
  • Confidence matters: Clear feedback and next steps help reduce anxiety around results.

What Users Say & Feel

  • Says: “I just want the results explained in a way I can understand.”
  • Thinks: “Can I really trust an app to give me accurate health information?”
  • Feels: “Relieved when results are explained simply, but anxious if the process seems unclear.”
  • Does: Follows step-by-step prompts, rechecks results, and seeks reassurance from caregivers or providers.
  • Gains: Confidence that their results are accurate, with guidance that makes next steps feel manageable.
