OVERVIEW
The Gastric Alimetry™ system
A connected gastric diagnostic system combining wearable hardware, clinician-facing software, and patient symptom tracking.
Making the report easier to interpret
The original report presented complex clinical data across multiple pages, making it difficult and time-consuming for clinicians to interpret. I redesigned the report to make important findings easier to find, understand, and act upon. Without removing the clinical depth specialists relied on

PROBLEM
The old design failed to scale across clinical workflows
The challenge wasn't the amount of data, but how clinicians had to navigate it.
Fragmented information
Specialist dependency
A workflow that did not scale
OBJECTIVES
Make complexity workable
The goal wasn't to simplify the science. It was to make the complexity easier to navigate and interpret.
Make interpretation accessible
Prioritise what matters
Support clinical reasoning
Design for change
PROCESS
Understanding the clinical workflow
Before redesigning the interface, we looked at how clinicians actually moved through the existing report. We identified where they jumped between pages, where information was difficult to connect, and where interpretation depended on specialist knowledge.

Iteration and validation
We tested early versions with clinicians to understand how they scanned the report, what information they looked for first, and where interpretation broke down.

Key insights & Design decisions
Clinicians needed a starting point
Clinicians wanted a high-level understanding of the test before exploring individual result
Introduced a summary page
To start with the big picture, that gives an at-a-glance view of the test results.
Cognitive load
Showing multiple parts of the test together made it harder to focus and interpret.
Modular layout
Grouping related information for clinicians to concentrate on one part of the test at a time.
The modular structure also made it easier to accommodate new scientific findings without restructuring the entire report.
Make attention visible
Clinicians needed to quickly distinguish routine results from areas that required attention.
In/Out of range indicators
Introduced colour, symbols and typography to make important signals visible at a glance, alongside descriptions explaining what required caution.
Make patterns easier to recognise
Dense clinical data made it harder to recognise patterns quickly.
Introduced tags
Introduced tags, icons and concise descriptions to group related symptoms and make emerging patterns easier to recognise.
The structure aligned with emerging clinical frameworks and supported the way clinicians reasoned about the results.
Content & Information hierarchy
The report contained more information than clinicians needed to process at once.
Reduced number of pages
We reduced the number of pages and reorganised the information around the clinical workflow, improving legibility and making important findings easier to find.
Beyond the report
One of the broader findings was that interpretation difficulty extended beyond the report itself. The supporting interpretation guidelines were also redesigned to make guidance easier to find and understand.

impact
A report designed around how clinicians interpret
The redesigned report created a clearer path while preserving the depth of information required for clinical interpretation.
