Doctor Notes

• Wanted a bottom nav bar with separate buttons: my appointments, other people’s appointments, record, and about.
• Wanted sharing to feel effortless. Instead of PDFs or screenshots, people should see the full transcription, recommendations, and medications.
• Wanted sharing to encourage people to get the app.
• His main focus: the app had to be easy for older people and anyone who struggles with technology.

• Didn’t like Khaleed’s idea of an extra button on the nav bar: if you never share appointments, you’d have an empty spot at the bottom.
• Wanted everything on one page: all appointments together in dropdown menus, each labeled at the top with whose appointment it is.
• Was also worried about what happens when you stop sharing, and how you’d know someone shared with you.

• Didn’t like Julie’s idea of everything on one page. It would feel cluttered, and too many dropdowns could get overwhelming and confusing.
• Asked, what if you’re just looking for your own appointment? One page would also need a filter. He was on the fence between that and a separate nav button.
• Focused on deep links: how someone without the app gets it, and lands exactly where they need to go.

Three buttons, not four

We kept the bottom nav to Visits, Record, and Profile, so the app stays simple for everyone, especially older users.

Kept Khaleed’s simplicity for older users, without Julie’s empty button.

Tabs instead of dropdowns

My Visits and Shared with me sit as tabs at the top of one page. Your own visits never get buried, and there’s no empty button if you never share.

Gave Julie her one page, without the clutter Brett worried about.

A screen for every sharing path

We designed flows for when the person you share with has the app, doesn’t have it, or needs to download it, plus stopping sharing and seeing what’s new.

Answered Brett’s deep links, Julie’s stop-sharing worry, and Khaleed’s push to get people on the app.
