Induction of Labor (Research)

Jan 2022 – May 2022

Project Description

A prototype that includes patients getting tailored and evidence-based information based on their birth preferences and values.

Users will learn a little bit about induction and spontaneous birth, get asked some questions, and then learn most about what they most care about and be supported in making a decision that is right for them.

 

Problem

People that are pregnant often lack information on induction, and don’t feel like it’s their choice when it comes to making the decision.

 

The Team

Client - Ann Peralta

Project Manager - Shateva Long

UX Design & Research - Mingxi Wu (Sissi)

 

Our Goals

1. Provide options and information about induction to those who are pregnant using a digital tool

2. Make sure users are comfortable learning induction, birthing death and other useful information that can be hard to take in

 

Research setup


  1. Competitor research

I did some research online to find pregnancy apps in general. Was able to find a few on the app store that mainly helps people document their pregnancy period or baby status after birth.

 

2. User persona

I came up with a user persona that shows some general characteristics of someone pregnant and their thoughts on making the decision on induction.
