Problem

Although having a diverse participant pool in clinical trials is vital to proving drug and treatment efficiency, significant gaps remain in representation, particularly among LGBTQIA+ adults and people of color.

Despite racial and ethnic minority groups comprising more than 40 percent of the U.S. population, they comprise only 25 percent of clinical trial participants.

Due to the historical mistreatment and exploitation of black and minority populations, there is an understandable distrust of experimental drugs and treatments on those groups.

The following sentiments were captured in a 2024 national poll by the PAN foundation, and samples 4492 adults in the US.

The Problem

Our client's legacy tool for segmentation was outdated, confusing to navigate, and difficult to learn. Although segmentation tasks occurred only a few times per season, it was vital to the business's success. And only two people knew how to properly use the tool. 💀

client’s legacy segmentation tool

  • Confusing information hierarchy

  • Lack of guidance for new users

  • Visually outdated

  • Unintuitive condition names and grouping

  • "It's a lot of clicks"

Why this matters

When institutional knowledge is limited to one or two individuals, an organization faces significant risk and cost in providing coverage for them.

Design Iterations

Working with product managers to define the immediate requirements, I set out to tackle the major pain points for users: the unintuitive UI and confusing information hierarchy.

using the design system

Version 1

In an attempt to reduce the # of clicks for the user, I designed a search + drag + drop pattern that would allow users to visually create rule-sets and condition groups.

This interaction re-used design patterns found elsewhere in the tool.

× Developers pushed back against the drag and drop interaction, citing difficulty and scope needed to create.

multi-Select

Version 2

As a result of tech feedback, I changed drag-and-drop interaction to use multi-select instead.

Conditions were grouped in a way that would be easy to scan and find, even for a new user to the tool.

× The user experience suffered as a result; users would still need to click just as many times to create a rule-set.

× Furthermore, dirty data prevented us from re-structuring their data hierarchy.

type-ahead pattern

Version 3

I couldn't get around the 'dirty-data' issue as that was entirely out of scope for our team to tackle. However, I pushed back against a user experience that would mirror the existing tools our users would using. '

The new design uses 'type-ahead' to allow users to construct rules. # of Stores was elevated in the hierarchy as users relied on it to validate the conditions they were selecting.

✓ This design balanced technical constraints with an improved user experience

Usability & Feedback

According to my users, the segment creation and validation process was greatly improved. The time it took to learn and create a segment was reduced to just a few minutes.

I conducted usability testing on my two users, asking them to perform basic tasks and talking me through any pain points they still felt. Minor UI tweaks were made by my team.

Primary user

[This is] super easy!

Feedback

  • The rule-creation empty state needed to be more visually obvious

  • The conditions should be ordered alphabetically

  • Rule deletion needed to be made more obvious

Features & Improvements

Improved Hierarchy of Data

Clear entry to rule creation and prominent placement of # stores allows for users to easily create accurate segments

Seamless, Guided Instruction

The step-by-step process of rule creation makes training and coverage easy. This alleviates institutional knowledge bottlenecks previously experienced.

Challenges

What made this project difficult

How did I deal with it

Technical constraints meant a change in requirements. A number of features meant to drive participation in clinical trials were scaled back in favor of emphasizing education around the topic

I re-organized the hierarchy of elements to prioritize educational modules and worked with content writers to re-frame the story we were trying to tell with the site.

A lack of branding from a 3rd party group blocked us from designing with higher fidelity visuals and finalized content.

I relied on using stand-in copy and gray boxes to lock down the UX and structure of the site.
