Digital prescription care for women, with health diagnostics

I led product design across the platform’s evolution, shaping core product features and user flows, product strategy and information architecture, and translating a complex healthcare infrastructure (telemedicine + pharmacy) into a cohesive, patient-facing experience for prescription care.

about

Millions of women experience recurring vaginal health issues, yet accessing care remains slow, fragmented, and uncomfortable. Most treatments focus on short-term symptom relief, while the underlying causes often go unexplored — leading to repeated infections and frustration.

This platform reimagines vaginal healthcare through a telehealth-first, data-driven approach. By combining microbiome testing, medical consultations, and prescription care, we enable women to understand their condition, access licensed doctors remotely, and receive personalized treatment — all within a single digital experience.

Case Study

Care journeys that scale beyond one prescription

The platform assumed one request meant one prescription. In real care, one visit often ends with several treatments, so patients couldn’t tell what was active or what came next. Patients with chronic conditions also had to reorder by hand every time, which put retention at risk.

I redesigned the experience around provider visits. Each prescription became its own card with its own refill settings, and patients can now subscribe instead of reordering. The platform is pre-launch, so the next step is measuring how subscriptions affect retention.

The Problem

The product no longer matched how healthcare actually worked.

The product no longer matched how healthcare actually worked.

The original experience was built around one assumption: one request leads to one prescription.

In reality provider visit is rarely linear. One consultation can result in different outcomes depending on the patient’s medical needs

Initial Model

One request

One review

One prescription

Actual Workflow

One visit

Multiple clinical outcomes

One or more prescriptions

Independent medication
management

For patients

Couldn't tell what was active, finished, or next

Medication changes were hard to follow

Chronic-condition patients had to remember to reorder every time

For the business

Every manual reorder was a chance to lose a returning patient

No room for multiple outcomes, refills, or follow-ups without rework

Growing complexity created confusion

task

Redesign the prescription experience to close that gap: match the real clinical workflow, keep chronic patients on treatment without manual reordering, and stay inside HIPAA and payment constraints.

THE SOLUTION

Organize around provider visits, not requested medications

By separating active care from completed prescriptions, we created a structure that scales with real patient journeys.

Sum Up

Product Impact

Chronic patients stop reordering by hand

Subscriptions replace the reorder step. Patients set their refills once and treatment continues on schedule, which is built to keep them on treatment and improve retention.

The product grows without a redesign

Organizing around provider visits supports medication changes, multiple prescriptions, follow-ups, and new healthcare services using the same structure.

Every medication is managed on its own

Each approved prescription has its own refill status, order history, and actions. Changing one medication no longer disrupts the rest of the treatment.

Patients see what needs their attention

Active care and finished prescriptions are separated, so patients know what needs action now and what is already done. Consultations and orders are also kept apart, which keeps medical records and chat threads HIPAA-compliant.
