I was lead product designer and iOS engineer on a clinical task management platform that reduces information loss during shift handover and helps teams act faster on urgent tasks.
Shift handover is a critical event where important patient information is passed between teams. I observed tasks captured and shared using paper and pagers, with high risk of loss and delays.
Hark is a clinical task management platform which prioritises who needs to do what, where and when. This frees up nurses and doctors to focus on their job instead of waiting by a phone, with studies showing quicker responses and more reliable handover than bleeps alone.
Iterative design and prototyping produced a library of controls which minimise the taps needed to capture and share tasks, enabling users to send details to the most appropriate clinician in under 20 seconds.
I designed and coded the native apps for iPhone and iPad, with a browser-based dashboard for desktop and full-screen monitoring. A clean and simple identity system allows important information and alerts to be most prominent.
Hark was acquired by Google DeepMind.
As a Software Engineer with experience in Product Design, I’m driven by a passion to create software that makes a meaningful difference to people’s lives.
