Problem - Parent pediatrician gap

Problem - Parent pediatrician gap

Kids with chronic conditions like Asthma require frequent monitoring of their symptoms. Pediatricians face challenges as kids & parents find it difficult to identify & track symptoms, especially since kids spend most of their time at school or play.

Defining the gap

Communication gap

Kids struggle to articulate their symptoms well, & parents aren't aware of what's happening since kids are at school/play mostly.

Emotional gap

Parents & kids need counseling as they have many questions, but pediatricians hardly get time because they're busy diagnosing.

Expectation gap

Parents have unreal expectations and want quick results from the treatment plan.

Operational gap

Parents miss follow-up appointments & forget to carry their prescriptions.

Solve for chronic diseases affecting kids

Given the alarming pollution levels in India, addressing a high-impact, high-urgency respiratory disease was our main goal.

Scoping down to pediatric Asthma

  • India accounts for 12.9% of the global 262 million asthma cases.

  1. 42% of asthmatic adults have asthma onset before age 16.

Understanding the pediatric system

We talked to 7 asthma kids (now adults) & 2 pediatricians.

❋ some questions about life ❋

Key takeaways from interviews

Consulting kids is not as easy as it sounds

  • Pediatric consultations are dependent on the conversation between pediatricians, parents, and the kid to identify health issues.

  1. The ability of kids & parents to articulate their concerns correctly is a major factor.

The emotional toll on parents

  • The whole situation has the parents on edge. They'd do anything to feel more in control of their child's condition. Be it asking questions to pediatricians or googling for hours.

✨ Introducing Wizz

Wizz utilizes health data from kids' bands, enabling pediatricians to make faster treatment decisions. Also, keeps parents informed daily through an app, to make them feel in control of their kid’s health.

Adding appointments to the clinic schedule

Adding appointments to the clinic schedule

The “schedule” tab is where the users would land after the account setup. It was important to let them start their journey of building the appointment schedule as it would be a part of user activation.

❋ ADDING APPOINTMENT TO SCHEDULE ❋

The schedule tab

Stages of appointment journey

  1. The parent calls the clinic to book an appointment. (1-2 days beforehand)

  2. The parent and kid show up at the clinic.

  3. The receptionist documents growth indicators like height and weight.

  4. The parent and kid finally see the pediatrician.

  5. The parent pays the bill at the counter.

This led to the creation of the “queue”, which may seem obvious but it was a breakthrough moment for us.

The data-rich consultation experience

The consultation tab is the place where a pediatrician would spend most of their time.

Understanding the basics of the consultation

  1. Importance of height & weight — For kids, height & weight are key growth indicators.

  1. High usage of note-taking — Pediatricians use notes to remember health complaints they get from parents and kids. They write down things to check next time.

  1. Cough diary — Pediatricians advise parents to maintain a diary to understand the frequency & intensity of coughing.

Laying the foundation of the home screen

Most parents feel supremely concerned after their kid is diagnosed with a chronic condition, so it was important to highlight the need for parents to be tension-free and calm at every step.

The use case here was to inform parents about their kid’s condition without overwhelming them. Hence, the data had to be understandable at a single glance.


This led to the creation of a health score.

What is a health score?

A health score summarizes multiple vitals offering a snapshot of your kid’s health.

Constructing the home screen

Few guidelines in mind before we started designing.

  1. Don’t bombard parents with 5-6 health vitals, only show the health score.

  1. Show the change in health. Parents want to know if the situation has improved or worsened from the last time they saw the kid.

Health score was something we created from scratch, so it was important to educate users to instill trust. What was a good or a bad score? The meaning of the score had to be very clear.

The data visualization in the highlights section differed from that in the consultations tab of the pediatrician’s dashboard, despite both containing the same data points.

Parents needed a self-explanatory representation of data with a layer of assisted insights. Spoon-feeding takeaways to the parents were important to avoid any misinterpretation due to their limited knowledge.

  1. Lesser time taken to reach “update prescription” — The success of the data-rich consultation experience lies in pediatricians spending less time identifying and tracking symptoms, reaching the ‘update prescription’ stage faster.

Finally, our top learnings

Finally, our top learnings

  1. Designing for expert users vs emotional users - We dealt with both ends of the spectrum, pediatricians being experts and parents being anxious. The need to assist pediatricians and spoon-feed parents was really difficult to figure out.
