The Problem

Existing Patient Portal Home

Before redesign, the Dell Children’s portal greeted members with a generic, impersonal message—more reminiscent of an eCommerce site than a trusted health platform. Core sections like Plan Overview and Quick Links were overloaded with redundant or unclear content.

This first impression wasn’t just a UX issue—it reflected how limited the portal’s overall functionality was. With few interactive features and minimal personalized information, members were left without clear guidance or support in managing their care.


Before and After

Before

The logged-in experience felt cold and generic, with unclear plan info and disorganized links that confused more than helped

After

The dashboard now feels personal and purposeful, greeting members by name and surfacing their most relevant tools and actions upfront.

A Mobile-First Experience

Mobile-First, Member-Centered

Designed for parents managing their children’s care on the go, this mobile-first experience prioritized clarity, personalization, and immediate utility. Each screen surfaces the most relevant information—like care teams, claims, and ID cards—while maintaining a clean, accessible layout consistent with Ascension’s brand system.

Streamlined Access, Real-World Tasks

From choosing a primary care provider to downloading ID cards, every task was simplified for mobile. I used clear hierarchies, member names, and action-driven labels to reduce friction and ensure the portal worked for real families juggling complex care responsibilities.

I help healthcare teams ship investor-ready demos and production-ready workflows.

Shipped EHRs, clinical dashboards, and patient portals, used by thousands at home and across real care settings.

"As a first-time founder, David's guidance was crucial. His work greatly advanced the quality and timeline of our team's efforts."
