Patient-Facing App Redesign for a Hospital Group
Problem
A hospital group's patient-facing mobile app had an appointment booking completion rate of only 23%, with patients aged 45+ reporting being unable to complete basic tasks without assistance.
Solution
We conducted accessibility-focused user research with 30 participants and redesigned the complete app following WCAG 2.1 AA standards with a simplified booking flow, plain-language content, and a health summary dashboard.
Measurable Impact
