Jeff Medic \ Student Health Communication

Jeff Medic is a platform for Thomas Jefferson University students and faculty to access the health center’s services. Through a secure internet connection the user can request medical appointments on a real time calendar, review their health information or tests from previous visits, manage student records, and access digital forms to complete prior to appointments. With it, users are able to know what the health center offers prior to a visit and are able to evolve with their practitioners at the health center to feel an empathetic connection. Completed in a 15 week span of a three person research team while in the Essentials of UX/UI program and Jefferson University.

 

 

The Research

Our team was familiar with insurance policies and security within health systems which helped with designing with digital security. Interviews with the nurse practitioners and staff of the health center was how we understood what we were designing for, what resources they had, and what they needed. This included patient data and metrics, treatment follow-ups, and self-care for college students. We surveyed students and faculty on campus to gain insights on the problems. We reached out to nurse practitioners independently and students to get feedback on a scheduling platform that also organizes students files by connecting with the University’s Student Accounts. The net insights from all of the sources gave us an understanding of users, pain points, and a direction for a solution.  

Secondary research allowed us to understand how the user would interact with different digital platforms while keeping an empathetic approach. Competitive and comparative analysis were done to analyze all of the workings of the solution and backend support.

 

 

Notable Designs

Digital Forms

Based on primary research, students were not comfortable having student workers handle personal information at the health center. The waiting room and receptionist are in close proximity where students do not feel comfortable sharing information. The center works on 15 to 30 minute appointments if the student is late, they still need to fill out forms everything they make an appointment. A digital form feature allows patients to fill out the specific forms prior to the appointment and would be directly stored in the student’s file for the doctors records.

 

Schedule Appointment

To make appointments the Health Center can be contacted by phone or by making an in person appointment. The phone number is not easy to find on the university website and they do not take walk-in appointments. To ease student frustration, scheduling an appointment through JeffMedic while eliminating clicks.
