• Current EMR systems have limited
interoperability
• Most patients don’t know/ can’t
access data that’s relevant for them
• Out of hospital data not well
integrated into current EMRs
• Patients are now generating much
more of their own data which is
seldom used for clinical decisions

a green light from FDA to screen

Start with a user-centric product design that is built for your specific consumer need
• Leverage user-centered design best practices but
also adapt those to your patient population…one
size does not fit all
• Resist feature creep
• Provide control to patients for sharing their
information with other stakeholders
• Conduct iterative testing for a number of use cases
• Be ruthless and strip out any unnecessary
functionalities
• Show vs. tell
