Reduce NHS wait times

Problem

The NHS faced severe inefficiencies in emergency departments due to:

  • Poor visibility into bed availability

  • Ineffective discharge processes

  • Reliance on manual systems (whiteboards, spreadsheets updated every 6–8 hours)

This led to high patient wait times and limited operational responsiveness.

Solution

Led the end-to-end design of the Decision Navigator, focusing on:

  • Synthesizing discovery research and stakeholder needs

  • Creating journey maps to visualise pain points in patient flow

  • Designing an intuitive information architecture for real-time decision-making

  • Running co-creation workshops and prototype testing with NHS staff (GMs, clinicians)

Built for clarity, speed, and alignment with existing staff workflows.

Outcome

  • This work contributed to a $5M deal for the product

  • Boosted sales momentum in the healthcare vertical

  • Proved value of real-time operational tooling in high-pressure environments
