Insurance in the Digital Era
Member Portal
As a Product Designer at an Indian consultancy, I worked on a 1.5-year project with a leading healthcare insurer. Starting with a UX audit, we rebuilt their incomplete mobile app from scratch with a new IA and a fully redesigned experience.

UX Audit
We conducted a comprehensive UX audit of UHCโs legacy application using established usability principles and NN Group methodologies. The analysis identified key friction points impacting navigation, task completion, and overall user efficiency, leading to four critical areas of improvement.
RESTRUCTURING INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
The existing structure was fragmented and difficult to navigate, making it hard for users to locate key features.
Reorganized content into clear, task-based groupings
Reduced hierarchy depth and improved labeling
Aligned structure with user mental models
๐ Result: Improved navigation clarity and reduced time to complete key tasks
/01
Lack of Visual & Interaction Consistency
Inconsistent UI patterns and interaction behaviors across screens led to confusion and increased cognitive load.
Established a cohesive design system with consistent visuals and interactions
Standardized navigation and interaction patterns
Aligned visual and information hierarchy for better usability
๐ Result: Improved predictability and reduced user effort
/02
High Cognitive Load in Forms
Lengthy, unstructured forms increased friction and drop-offs.
Broke forms into manageable sections
Improved field grouping and hierarchy
Added contextual guidance and validation
๐ Result: Reduced errors and improved completion rates

/02
Inefficient Navigation Structure
Users struggled to locate key features due to deep hierarchies and unclear labeling.
Simplified information architecture
Introduced clearer grouping and labels
Reduced steps to key actions
๐ Result: Faster task completion and improved discoverability
/04
Limited Findability & Discovery
Users struggled to locate features due to lack of search and filtering.
Introduced search with auto-suggestions
Added filters and sorting mechanisms
Improved visibility of key actions
๐ Result: Increased efficiency and reduced time to find information
