Year

2023

The Clinical Data Platform is a proof-of-concept designed to streamline the process of clinical data review for life sciences teams. Built in just one month at Perficient, the goal was to showcase how intuitive workflows and clean design could reduce the time spent reviewing trial data. I joined as the UX/UI designer and collaborated with a Creative Director to design the core experience and prototype. The PoC helped secure investment from Johnson & Johnson and has since evolved into a full product initiative

The Challenge

Imagine researchers spending days manually reviewing clinical trial data, unable to quickly identify patterns or issues that require immediate attention.

How can we use design to accelerate insights and decision making?

Business Context

Clinical data review teams struggled with:

Time-consuming manual review of complex trial data.
Difficulty prioritizing and tracking issues across multiple studies
Limited visualization tools to identify patterns and outliers.
Siloed information requiring constant context-switching.

The goal was to create a compelling proof-of-concept in just one month that could demonstrate value to potential clients and secure investment for full development.

The UX/UI Challenge

Designing for rapid validation: Create a high-fidelity prototype that showcases core functionality within a tight one-month timeline.
Simplifying complex data: Transform technical clinical information into clear, actionable insights through intuitive interfaces and visualizations.
Balancing depth and usability: Design a solution sophisticated enough to handle complex workflows while remaining intuitive for clinical researchers.

My Role

UX/UI Designer

Research and Discovery

Given the one-month timeline, I focused on rapid research methods to understand clinical data review workflows. I collaborated with Life Sciences specialists to identify key pain points:

Researchers needed better visualization of study progress
Teams struggled with task prioritization and management
Critical data was buried in complex spreadsheets

Through stakeholder interviews and secondary research, I mapped core use cases and created quick wireframes to validate direction. This rapid approach allowed us to align on priorities and focus our limited time on high-impact features.

Rapid Prototype for Investment

I designed an interactive prototype showcasing core clinical data workflows and visualization capabilities. Using a consistent UI kit, I brought the concept to life through high-fidelity screens that demonstrated how users could manage tasks, review data, and track study progress.

This prototype was used in stakeholder demos and successfully secured investment from Johnson & Johnson, becoming the foundation for further product development.

Core Platform Design

I designed intuitive workflows that connect study dashboards, task management, and data analysis tools in a logical sequence. Each interface supports specific researcher tasks while maintaining visual consistency and clear navigation paths

General Dashboard

High-level overview of task completion, plan progress, and discrepancies.
This is the user’s control center, a role-based dashboard that adapts to show what’s most relevant

Study Dashboard

Detailed view of a specific study’s milestones, team progress, and data status.
Breaks down tasks by user, visualizes data cleaning and enrollment metrics, and highlights high-priority discrepancies.

Discrepancy Manager

Track, filter, and resolve data issues at scale.
Users can view all open discrepancies, assign them, and drill into details. Includes filtering by status, priority, subject ID, and more.

Data Listings & Lineage

Explore the origin and history of clinical records.
Tables show discrepancies per listing with full record audit trails and the ability to view the data lineage visually which is critical for traceability.

Results and Impact

Created and presented an interactive prototype that helped secure internal investment from Johnson & Johnson.

After years of avoiding the dentist, Dr. Mehta helped me achieve a comfortable and pain-free experience. I’m so glad I finally took the plunge and received the care I needed!

Dr. Alberto made my child’s first dental visit easy and fun. They loved the friendly environment and the staff’s patience, kindness, and care. Truly a great experience for our little one!

The team at this clinic is top-notch. They’ve been able to restore my teeth with such precision, care, and attention to detail; I couldn’t be happier with the results and the overall experience!

I can’t thank Dr. Jonny enough for my new smile! The attention to detail and personalized care made my experience wonderful. I highly recommend their services.
