THE PROBLEM
Pet Owners Struggle with Managing Healthcare Needs for Their Pets
Pet owners face significant challenges in managing their pets' healthcare needs. They require a seamless way to schedule vet visits, obtain prescriptions, find the nearest doctor during emergencies, and shop for their pets.
The primary challenge is to design an integrated platform that simplifies these processes, enhancing the overall pet care experience.

THE SOLUTION
A mobile based platform designed to streamline pet healthcare management.
Along with the ux design lead to guide and 2 developers I designed the structure (information architecture and user flows) and user experience (design systems and screens). The GoodPetsRX platform ensures pet owners can efficiently manage all aspects of their pets' healthcare needs, providing a seamless and integrated user experience.
THE PROCESS
How did I design the final product ?
Initially, I did not know much about Healthcare domain :(
Just like any other person outside the domain of pharmaceuticals - I also had endless questions like these.
I defined my design process, starting with answering these questions.
What are the essential aspects
What are the current practices
What challenges need to be addressed
Who are the key users & where do they need it most?
SUBJECT MATTER INTERVIEW
I started with understanding the user requirements
I conducted subject matter interviews to understand the “whys” behind the 3 major problems that were described to me initially. Additioally to undertand the users, painpoints and thier needs.


Key observations:
Complicated Scheduling Processes
Lack of Real-time Communication
Inefficient Methods
Pet owners face challenges in scheduling vet appointments, which often require calling clinics and waiting for responses.
Pet owners lack a real-time communication medium, causing delays in addressing health concerns and emergencies.
Pet owners struggle with managing prescriptions, finding nearby doctors during emergencies, etc
Redefining the problem based on user research
Manual and fragmented processes burden pet care management. Pet owners need to individually manage vet appointments, prescription refills, emergency contacts, and shopping for pet supplies. The lack of a unified platform results in inefficiencies and delays, impacting the overall care and well-being of pets.
​
Test results and medical records are often scattered, making it challenging for pet owners to quickly access and manage important information during emergencies or regular health check-ups.
COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS
Existing products address some of the pain points, but no single product solves them all
To understand the current landscape, I analyzed technologies used in veterinary scheduling and pet healthcare services based on these key factors:
Appointment scheduling
Emergency Assistance
Prescription & pet health history

Requirements that the products failed to provide

Emergency assistance​

Product availability integration

Real-time emergency assistance

Comprehensive scheduling system

User friendly interface


Real-time emergency assistance

Comprehensive scheduling system

Integrated prescription management
USER FLOW & IDEATION
Design goals into action
A few rounds of discussions with the UX Lead and client heads regarding the features, requirements, technical capabilities, and constraints happened, which inspired the user flow & architecture



INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
Structuring the ideas for designs and databases


DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
With opportunities in hand - there were a few considerations as I started designing the screens:
Users can add multiple pets to their profile.



Displaying detailed vet profiles with ratings and reviews builds trust and helps users make informed decisions.
Simplified appointment booking with detailed visit reasons and time slots improves the user experience



Clear & reassuring wait times
screen allows users to easily find and book appointments with their preferred specialists, including options to filter by speciality and mark favorites for quick access.
