The systemThe app was only the front door. Behind it sat a worldwide care system: time zones, triage rules, and nurses ready to step in.

Problem

Active-duty service members and military families stationed around the world needed fast access to nurse triage, but a call-based system meant long waits and real friction across time zones and locations.

What I did

  1. Research. Conducted user research with TRICARE beneficiaries to understand how and where they seek care.
  2. Design. Developed user flows, information architecture, and high-fidelity prototypes.
  3. Iterate. Ran usability testing with real users and clinicians, refining the design across multiple design sprints.

Solution

A mobile triage experience that guides people through their symptoms and routes them to the right level of care, from self-care guidance to a live chat with a nurse.

Impact

< 4 minto complete symptom triage

Reduced call volume and improved access to care for a globally distributed population.
