Discuss Your ProjectInterviews
Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
The core principle was to bring clarity and compassion to women’s health records. Inspired by integrative care models, the Tia Life Chart visualizes a patient’s mental, physical, and reproductive health on one longitudinal timeline—offering a more complete picture of the person, not just the condition.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
My focus was to streamline clinical workflows while empowering patients. I wanted providers to spend less time navigating systems and more time caring, and for patients to see their health as an interconnected story rather than a series of disconnected visits.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
We’re expanding it into a full care timeline, incorporating labs, provider notes, and predictive health insights. I also plan to open-source parts of the design framework for other care startups, so more people can benefit from holistic, human-centered health tools.

- Production Technology
- Tia Life Chart developed as a web-based, modular electronic medical record app system built on a React and TypeScript front end for a highly responsive, accessible UI, with a Node.js and GraphQL backend for efficient data retrieval and interoperability. We utilized FHIR standards to ensure seamless integration with external healthcare systems. The design was driven by user research, clinical shadowing, and iterative prototyping, optimizing workflows through automation, AI-powered insights, and intuitive UI/UX principles to enhance provider efficiency and reduce cognitive load.
- Design Challenge
- One of the biggest challenges in designing TLC was redefining the rigid and fragmented structure of traditional EMRs to create a system that truly supports integrative women’s healthcare. Balancing clinical accuracy, provider efficiency, and regulatory compliance required deep research into healthcare workflows, usability testing, and iterative prototyping. Overcoming provider resistance to change and ensuring seamless adoption were critical hurdles we tackled through extensive training and feedback loops.
- Research
- Tia Life Chart was developed using a human-centered design approach, incorporating extensive provider interviews, workflow observations, and usability testing. We conducted clinical shadowing sessions and analyzed over 1000 provider interactions to identify pain points in existing EMR systems. Research findings guided the development of automated workflows, AI-driven insights, and an intuitive UI, resulting in a 44 percent reduction in documentation time and an 81 percent automation rate in care plan booking links, significantly enhancing provider efficiency and patient engagement.
- Inspiration
- Tia Life Chart was born out of a critical need to redefine how EMRs serve both providers and patients in integrative women’s healthcare. Traditional electronic medical record apps are rigid, burdensome, and fail to support holistic, patient-centered care. Our design was inspired by seamless digital experiences outside of healthcare—intuitive, efficient, and data-driven. We leveraged user research, clinical workflows, and automation to build an EMR that enhances provider efficiency and patient outcomes.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Jan 2024 as an ongoing project.
- Operation Flow
- Tia Life Chart is designed for seamless provider interaction, reducing cognitive load while ensuring intuitive navigation. Providers can quickly access patient records, track lab results, document care plans, and automate appointment bookings—all within a clean, structured interface. AI-powered insights highlight urgent issues, while smart automation streamlines repetitive tasks, significantly reducing documentation time and improving patient outcomes.
