UI/UX design for Cure Forward, an innovative healthcare platform

Our client’s business idea was to change the traditional approach to cancer treatment by building a network connecting patients with each other and with clinical trial providers. CureForward addressed us with the following tasks:

• Create a digital solution that would make it possible for patients with cancer to explore such treatment option as clinical trials
• Build a platform that would provide access to educational information based on a user’s molecular diagnostic test results, and help establish communication between patients with cancer as well as the survivors
• Deliver a complex 5 in 1 web app with simple and inherently understandable UX design so that patients suffering from cancer could effortlessly add their details to the database

In the Cure Forward project, the development process is tightly connected with the elements of the UX design. For instance, when a patient enters the cancer type, the system shows them appropriate fields which differ depending on a cancer type. So the user doesn’t have to spend time and put much mental effort to fill it in. It means the user is not asked to fill in the cancer stage if their cancer type has no stages.

Cure Forward is a multisided platform, so in total, our team has contributed to the development of 5 integrated web apps with responsive design. 

1. Patient portal where patients enter their data including molecular diagnostic test results which make it possible to implement the precise medicine approach. This portal also includes a social part developed by N-iX on WordPress.
2. Recruiter portal for pharmaceutical companies and clinical trial providers. Their representatives also create accounts and fill in forms with a detailed description of the patient’s profile they are looking for.
3. Admin console is an application for patient guides. The non-tech-savvy patients can send the information to guides who add their data to the base.
4. Manager portal for clinical administrators who work directly with the patients selected for trials and meet them in person.
5. Curelinker for adding laboratory molecular diagnostic test results ordered by patients’ physicians automatically to the database. This app is in development.
