Technicians responsible for supporting and maintaining the workstation platform.
Deliver
Reworking and redesigning the Report Viewer application
Redesigning the Clinical Measurements Report
Redesigning the Report Generator application
creating a dual-mode design system.
Building a unified workstation experience.

The Solution
01 Unified clinical workstation
A centralized workstation that combines tear film analysis, reports, and clinical tools into one consistent platform, reducing fragmented workflows and improving usability.
02 Adaptive reporting & dual-mode system
A redesigned reporting ecosystem with light and dark mode experiences optimized for low-light examinations and all-day workstation usage.
Report Viewer
The Report Viewer is a clinical application designed to organize and manage patient eye examination data and measurements, enabling doctors to efficiently filter, review, and export database records for each patient.

Inspiration
Light Mode
I used the primary color of the Tear Film Imager site brand, incorporating lighter surfaces with dark text to maintain readability while avoiding harsh pure white backgrounds.
Dark Mode
I applied the AdOM brand color as the primary color and after researching competitor platforms (images below) I combined it with darker surfaces and light text to ensure clarity and reduce eye strain in low-light.
User Flow
I chose this scenario from the Doctor persona to illustrate how users efficiently filter, review, and export patient reports within the system.

Report Generator
The Report Generator is a program that uses a calculation library to generate an HTML report for each patient, compiling and comparing eye examination data across multiple sessions.
Design Improvements
Refined text hierarchy and emphasized key information for better readability.
Modernized the visual design to replace the outdated interface.
Implemented a consistent light and dark mode design system.

Clinical Measurements Report
The Clinical Measurements Report Card is an HTML file generated from the Report Generator, containing comprehensive patient eye examination data. It includes medical information, parameter trends over time, eye layer map, video recording and a summary of clinical measurements for print.
Design Improvements
Refined text hierarchy and emphasized key clinical information for better readability.
Improved layout of histograms and graphs for a more ergonomic and structured visualization.
Integrated layer thickness over time with its corresponding graph dynamics into a unified component.
Modernized the visual design to replace the outdated interface.
Implemented a consistent light and dark mode design system.
