FootPlus: A Modern Mobile App for Vascular Screening
FootPlus: A Modern Mobile App for Vascular Screening
A mobile app designed in Figma to support early detection and prevention of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). The solution is built on a cohesive design system to ensure clarity, consistency, and an intuitive user experience.
It is used by the iivHealth medical team and their network of doctors for quick, reliable vascular screening and patient assessments.
Goal
The goal was to design a mobile app that works seamlessly with the FootPlus PAD device, allowing doctors and medical agencies to perform quick screenings, manage patient profiles, review past reports, and track overall screening activity. The app also needed to support essential health inputs and offer a smooth subscription experience for hospitals.
Challenges
The key challenges included enabling reliable Bluetooth connectivity with the FootPlus device, storing each test for later analysis, and making it easy for doctors to enter patient details and retrieve past records. The app also needed to track the number of reports generated by each doctor or agency, capture vital health data, and integrate a subscription model with both free and paid features.
Outcome
The final app provides a clean, easy-to-use mobile experience where the FootPlus device connects quickly via Bluetooth and all tests are saved for future review. Doctors can manage patients, access their history instantly, and monitor overall screening activity. The app supports vital health inputs and includes a simple plan-selection flow, allowing hospitals to upgrade features effortlessly while maintaining access to essential free tools.

1. How I Approached It
1. Pain Points Identified
User Pain Points (UX Perspective):
Connecting the FootPlus (PAD) device to the mobile app via Bluetooth was not straightforward, leading to delays in starting tests.
Patient details and past records were scattered, making it hard for doctors to quickly retrieve and review information.
There was no simple way for medical agencies or individual doctors to track the number of reports they had generated.
Entering patient vitals (height, weight, BP, sugar) required multiple steps, slowing down the workflow.
The subscription flow for hospitals was unclear, and users could not easily differentiate between free and paid features.
Business Perspective:
Inefficient workflows reduced the number of tests performed daily.
Lack of clarity around feature access affected conversions to paid plans.
Inconsistent data entry and scattered records made it difficult for agencies to maintain accurate patient tracking.
2. Discovery After User Interviews
Interviews with iivHealth doctors revealed the need for a simpler, more guided mobile experience. They wanted fast Bluetooth pairing, a single unified patient profile, quick access to past tests, and a clear dashboard showing how many reports were generated. Doctors also asked for a more transparent pricing and feature-access journey.
3. Implementation
I designed a streamlined flow with reliable Bluetooth connection steps, a unified patient record screen, and a simple vitals-entry interface. A dedicated reporting dashboard allowed agencies and doctors to monitor the number of tests performed. The subscription section was redesigned to clearly show free vs. paid features. Overall, the solution created a faster, clearer, and more reliable mobile experience for medical teams.
2. Design Process
The design process began in FigJam, where we mapped user flows, clarified requirements, and aligned on the clinical workflow. Once the structure was clear, we moved into Figma to create wireframes and high-fidelity screens.
A design system was developed in Figma with defined colors, typography, spacing, and reusable components. This ensured consistency across all screens, making the interface easy to scale and maintain. Components like buttons, cards, input fields, status indicators, and test result modules were standardized for a clean, intuitive experience.
The final designs provided a clear, structured workflow for doctors—smooth Bluetooth pairing, quick patient setup, fast report access, and simple vitals entry—supported by a cohesive and scalable UI foundation.
3. Final Impact
Business Impact:
Increased number of PAD tests performed per day due to faster workflows.
Improved adoption of FootPlus across medical agencies with a clearer, more reliable mobile app experience.
