Problem
Remote patient monitoring represents one of the biggest opportunities for improving health outcomes at a local and national level.

The industry traditionally faces several challenges, including onboarding, engagement and retention. This is exacerbated when you're as ambitious as Spirit Health, who rolled the product out across several continents, including Asia and Africa, where low connectivity and outdated technology can present a hurdle.

We wanted to create an engaging, and easy-to-use, channel of communication between patients and clinicians. By sharing symptoms and vital sign readings, clinicians can take a proactive and preventative role ensuring better health outcomes.
Challenge
As part of the senior management team, I collaborated with all departments in the organisation, as well as partners, customers and end-users to define product strategy.

Key responsibilities included defining the gathering feedback from stakeholders and delivering a product roadmap to meet business objectives. I also collaborated with engineering, marketing, sales and customer success to execute both the product roadmap and external communications.

As well advocating internally for a customer user-centric approach to our product strategy, I delivered customer-facing demos and pitches, as well running internal roadmapping and design strategy workshops.

User interface design and testing

The patient app and clinician desktop dashboard interface prioritised clarity and accessibility. For the patient app, we implemented a clean, intuitive design with large touch targets, high contrast ratios, and simplified navigation suitable for users of all ages and technical abilities.

The clinician desktop platform featured a dashboard-driven approach with a color-coded alert systems, and streamlined workflows that reduced cognitive load during busy clinical hours. Consistent design patterns across both platforms ensured seamless user experience transitions.
UX Research and Design
Our research approach combined ethnographic studies in clinical settings, remote environments, patient and clinician interviews, and usability testing with both user groups. We discovered that patients needed motivation and education integrated into their monitoring routine, while clinicians required efficient triage capabilities and flexible alert customisation.

This led to the development of personalised patient engagement features, contextual educational content, and sophisticated filtering systems for clinical workflows. Iterative testing and feedback loops ensured our solutions addressed real-world constraints and user mental models.
Delivery
With support from an incredibly talented team, I engaged in cross-functional collaboration between engineering, design, clinical practice, and regulatory teams to deliver the platform within regulatory compliance requirements.

By creating a product roadmap and getting internal, and external, buy-in from stakeholder, we implemented an agile development process short, focused sprints, maintaining close partnerships with partners and end-users for continuous feedback integration. The platform launched successfully across multiple countries. Post-launch, I led ongoing optimisation efforts based on user analytics and stakeholder feedback, resulting in sustained user adoption and measurable improvements in patient outcomes.
