Case study
Giving clinical data a usable visual language
Health-analytics and patient-onboarding design, with a reusable visual system for communicating clinical data clearly.
Tellescope was a digital-health platform focused on patient communication and patient-management operations. I worked with the team as a Contract UI/UX Designer during Techstars' UnitedHealthcare accelerator.
01 · The challenge
Dense data still has to communicate.
Clinical data can contain substantial information but still fail to communicate clearly. Care teams needed hierarchy, consistency, and signals that made important information easier to understand.
02 · My role
Designing interfaces and a visual language
I designed health-analytics dashboards and patient-onboarding interfaces, then created a reusable visual system that helped engineers present clinical data clearly to care teams.
The work combined conventional interface design with an information-design problem: make dense material scannable without stripping away the context people needed.
03 · Recreated principles
A shared visual grammar
Original Tellescope screens were not available in the source archive. This model documents the supported design principles without presenting a recreated product interface as historical work.
- Clinical dataPreserve necessary context
- Visual hierarchySeparate signal from detail
- Reusable patternsGive engineers a shared language
- Care-team understandingMake information easier to act on
What I learned
Information design is part of system design.
A dashboard is not useful because it contains more data. It becomes useful when its structure helps someone distinguish status, context, and the next decision. Reusable visual patterns made that reasoning easier to carry across screens and into implementation.
