UX Design Prototyping | Technical University of Denmark | Fall 2018

The objective of this course is to enable students 1) to apply lean prototyping methods for UX design of personalized user interfaces, and 2) to select appropriate tools, methods, and designs for the tasks at hand. The course provides students with a systematic foundation and practical experience in designing UX prototype designs, which can also later be applied to “next generation” interfaces in other domains, subsequently addressed in 02266 “User Experience Engineering”.

As a teaching assistant, I developed assignments that required students to iteratively design prototypes following a user-centered design approach to solve existing healthcare challenges.

Assignment

Arrhythmia disorder monitoring system

Chronic heart-related diseases are a major public health issue and are the leading cause of hospitalization. Compared to hospital-based management of patients, home monitoring embraces self-management alternatives that may help in the early detection of heart rhythm disorders allowing timely intervention and prevention of serious heart conditions.

To provide a solution that is applicable for general practitioners and/or cardiologists for remote monitoring and review of health data for optimizing the diagnosis and treatment of potential critical heart rhythm disorders. To reorganize and improve the diagnostic process of heart rhythm disorders in patients by using mHealth technology.

  1. Targeting patient users, design a system prototype that facilitates recording and commenting of heart arrhythmia events. Describe the system in a lean canvas (focusing on the patient-side and backend interactions) and create at least two different prototypes. 
  2. Perform an A/B test with multiple participants and record your findings. 
  3. Upload one PDF per group containing
    • Lean Canvas
    • Wireframes or mockups with annotated microinteractions (triggers, rules, feedback) and external interaction.
