Designing Confidence Back into the System

Rebuilding executive trust through rapid, visible UX progress while delivering compliant, scalable healthcare solutions at speed.

Our applied proprietary methodology.

Empowered Collaboration

Partnered directly with Home Access Health leadership, lab teams, and operations staff to align around a single product vision after prior vendor failures. Structured, hands-on collaboration rebuilt CEO trust while accelerating cross-functional decision-making.

Curated, Human-centric Design

Voice-of-customer interviews and multi-role workflow mapping created intuitive, role-specific interfaces, from accessioner task queues to leadership dashboards, eliminating manual friction while prioritizing privacy and regulatory compliance in every interaction.

Strategic Data Intelligence

Analyzed historical data on operational pain points to pinpoint bottlenecks across the testing lifecycle, informing prioritized workflows, real-time traceability, and automated holds management that slashed inefficiencies at their root.

Healthcare Industry Expertise

Healthcare domain knowledge allowed us to rapidly translate FDA, lab, and clinical requirements into usable system designs. This avoided rework, ensured compliance from day one, and enabled the platform to scale nationwide.

Home Access Health is a consumer-focused at-home lab testing brand that brings clinically accurate care closer to home. Through easy-to-use, self-collection kits, such as HIV-1, Hepatitis C, and cholesterol panels, individuals can collect fingerstick blood samples privately and mail them to a certified laboratory for FDA-regulated testing. The brand emphasizes privacy, convenience, and clear communication, empowering people to monitor their health, support early detection, and take proactive steps in prevention without the barriers of traditional care settings.

CHALLENGE

Previous partners failed to understand the regulatory and clinical complexity of healthcare, delivering disconnected design and backend systems that could not support end-to-end traceability or scale, resulting in significant CEO-level distrust of design and product development vendor. The challenge: rebuild credibility while creating a next-generation, regulatory-compliant platform that seamlessly connected customer experience to backend infrastructure, automated workflows, ensured complete traceability, and supported nationwide clinical operations.

Rebuilding an ecosystem of trust, internally and externally

Operational Breakdowns

Millions of households served annually

Operational breakdowns in the testing workflow led to manual errors, and poor tracking, creating delays and directly undermining the reliability of Home Access Health’s at-home testing experience.

Scalability Barriers

70% of healthcare digital projects fail from vendors lacking expertise

Previous digital partners lacking healthcare regulatory expertise delivered fragmented systems unable to integrate consumer experience, lab workflows, data infrastructure, and nationwide networks while ensuring FDA compliance and full traceability.

Confidence Gaps

$23.7 billion is lost yearly in healthcare from vendor failures, driving CEO distrust

Repeated vendor shortcomings created CEO-level distrust, making it essential to rebuild executive confidence while delivering a next-generation, regulatory-compliant platform that supports a nationwide clinician network across the full testing journey.
