Enhancing clinical workflows with hypercube
Healthcare and Life Science organizations are at the forefront of managing vast amounts of critical data. However, they face significant challenges in leveraging this data effectively due to fragmented ecosystems, inconsistent standards, and overwhelming volumes. These issues lead to delayed insights, slower decision-making, increased costs, and ultimately, impact the quality of healthcare services.
My Role
I led the product design of this project. It was highly ambiguous at the beginning, and the team was initially given a hard deadline of three months to complete the product development cycle. My manager trusted me to determine the MVP and long-term direction for the product. I coordinated efforts across myself and managed expectations from a variety of stakeholders in collaboration with my TPM and Tech Lead.
Discovery : Healthcare Data Challenges
Healthcare organizations are grappling with significant issues in their clinical data warehouses, which are fragmented and lack standardization.
Fragmented Data Systems
-
Patient data is spread across multiple platforms (e.g., EHRs, lab systems, radiology systems)
-
This makes it hard to access complete patient information quickly
-
Result: Delayed decision-making and inefficient patient care
Inconsistent Data Standards
-
Different systems use various data formats and terminologies
-
This creates difficulties in combining and analyzing data from multiple sources
-
Result: Increased IT costs and interoperability issues
Overwhelming Data Volume
-
Rapid increase in healthcare data due to digitization
-
Challenges in efficiently storing, processing, and analyzing large amounts of data
-
Result: Slower access to important information and difficulties in making data-driven decisions
From Goals to ideation
Clarity and Simplicity
Present data in a clear and concise manner, allowing users to quickly interpret key information relevant to their objectives, such as cancer trends and biomarker distribution
Personalization
Allow users to tailor dashboards to their specific needs by enabling them to customize the layout, choose which data points to display, and personalize the interface to fit their workflow
Actionable Insights
Ensure that dashboards not only display data but also provide insights that facilitate informed decision-making
