A pioneering technology, Resp Assist, was launched through a collaborative effort between the Salford Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and our team, aimed at enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory conditions. This application provides Salford-based General Practitioners (GPs) and Practice Nurses with readily accessible Respiratory Assistance resources and crucial patient information directly on their mobile devices or tablets, facilitating on-the-go access to vital clinical guidance.
The Approach: User-Centric UI/UX Design for Efficient Respiratory Care Management
My focus within this impactful project centred on the UI/UX design of the Resp Assist application. Recognising the critical need for healthcare professionals to access information swiftly and efficiently, the design process prioritised creating an intuitive, user-friendly mobile interface. The goal was to provide a seamless experience for GPs, clinicians, nurses, and other members of the Salford healthcare team, enabling them to quickly access essential guidelines and patient-specific tools for the treatment and management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Asthma.

Key Features and Implementation.
Intuitive Navigation for Rapid Information Retrieval: The UI/UX design emphasised clear and intuitive navigation, allowing healthcare professionals to quickly locate the specific information needed for diagnosis and treatment of COPD and Asthma, even in time-sensitive situations.
01
Streamlined Access to Treatment
The application’s design ensured easy and direct access to the established guidelines for managing COPD and Asthma flare-ups or exacerbations, presenting this critical information in a user-friendly format on mobile devices.
02
Patient-Specific Support
A key UI/UX consideration was the seamless integration of helpful, patient-specific tools such as symptom checkers, assessments, treatment guidelines, and instructional videos. The design focused on making these resources readily available and easy to utilise at the point of care.
03
Mobile Experience
The application was specifically designed for use on mobile devices and tablets, with a UI/UX that optimised for smaller screen sizes and touch-based interaction, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for healthcare professionals working in various settings.
Outcomes and Demonstrated Capabilities.
Project Update
The UI/UX design for the Resp Assist application focused on creating a mobile-first resource that enhanced the efficiency and quality of respiratory care:
Enhanced Accessibility of Critical Information: The intuitive mobile design provided GPs and nurses with immediate access to essential diagnostic and treatment information for COPD and Asthma.
Streamlined Clinical Workflows: The user-friendly interface facilitated quicker access to guidelines and patient-specific tools, potentially streamlining healthcare processes.
Improved Efficiency in Respiratory Care Management: The mobile-optimised design supported efficient information retrieval and utilisation in various clinical settings.
Potential for Reduced Healthcare Inequalities: By providing consistent access to diagnostic and treatment guidance, the application has the potential to contribute to more equitable patient care across demographics.
This project highlights the ability to design user interfaces and user experiences for innovative mobile healthcare applications, with a strong focus on providing clear, efficient, and accessible tools for medical professionals to enhance patient care. The emphasis was on creating a mobile-first solution that directly addressed the needs of GPs and nurses in managing respiratory conditions.
