Designing single source of shared digital wallet for 3 Companies (Insurance, Wellness and Retail Health care)
My work portfolio at MediBuddy
Objective: To improvise utilisation of Health Benefits through App.
Key Result: Increase conversion rate by 15%
Benefits, are fully or partially sponsered services and products which are offered to employees exclusively by their Health Insurer, Org/Corporates, and service provider. Benefits can also be virtual wallet amount.
Beneficiary, are the employees and their dependents(family members)
------------------
Role: Leading the project
Key Responsibility: Planning, Research-Methods, Stake holders alignment, Delivering and Implementation
Team: 3 Associates (UX, Research & UI)
Quick Requirement Analysis (PRD)
Why ?
Key Metrics:
Avg corporate Utilisation Rate(UR) is 18%, for dependents it is 4%.
Corporates with UR varies from 85% to < 8% .
Dependent UR is much poor (<3%)
Behaviour Analytics
Acquisition - Direct Corp Portals, Other Demographics
80% of the users visit website, 20% using mweb & mobile App
Potential Revenue - Very High
To give you fair idea, we serve more than 25% of India's population covering more than 5000+ corporates. So, there is a serious need to look into the issue.
System Map
Deeper understanding of the exisitng system structure, functioning of various stakeholders and their proccess gave bigger picture of the problem.
Outcome:
Depth of problem,
Breadth of stakeholders and dependencies,
Business, tech & operations structure and limitations,
Planning & timeline analysis.
Usability Testing
& Existing Problems
Apart from the conversion rate, business requirement and other insights from Project Manager, we wanted to understand more quantitative data, user attitudes, and their problems.
Apparently,
Segments (new vs returning user) both have poor and equal bounce rate.
Direct Traffic was better than Referral Traffic though the organisation spending crores on Ads & promotions.
To summarise, organic > paid
Overall performace hasn't been great. Discovering users core problem is a primary task. So, we did usability testing across all the product channels.
We do usability study using our Customer Expert Group (Divided Based on behaviours, Locations & service utilisation)
Primary Research
Picked a few primary corporates from the data base and selected list of people based on their utilisation issues and willingness to talk to us.
With primary permissions and approvals we initiated our research with proper plan, schedule and timelines.
Methods:
Quantitative & Qualitative (Attitudinal & Behavioural)
- Ethnography (field study of various places)
- Contextual (at user location)
- Interviews (unstructured: open-ended)
- Individual & group interviews (structured: in-depth )
- Usability (existing issues)
Process got little jumbled. Have to repeat few steps to get clarity on questions and to verify all hypothesis.
Outcome:
Huge pile of unstructured qualitative data.
Voice recordings, videos, photographs pointing out behaviours.
Written data of multiple 'day in a life' user stories highlighting pain points and needs with different behaviours
Data Synthesis
& Empathy map
Categorising data based on what users are thinking, feeling, seeing, saying, doing and hearing helped me and the team to understand patterns of their behaviours.
Empathy map helped to identify core value behind the
general issues/pain points/problems and their wants/needs
Example:
An employee who never availed AHC, in the last 3 years:
"I know about it through a colleague, but i don't feel it's necessary. I am good."
Outcome:
Clear visibility of the patterns.
Categorised pain-points/issues/problems.
Mapping the wants/needs to certain behaviours.
Most Common Behaviours
& Journey Map
Ideally we wanted to make a persona and define charecter but the data was saying something else. The demographics resulted most common but their behaviours were different.
So we grouped and identified 5 Archetypes with most common behaviour patterns pulled out of data. These archetype approach is very much suitable for startup/agile environment to cover multiple features in a short time.
Business outcomes follow user outcomes.
Therefore one must define and target the user behaviors that need to be driven.
Hidden Problems - Example:
Employee who tried booking sponsered AHC, but didnt succeed:
"I thought AHC is free, but during check-out it was billed. So I to have cancel it"
Outcome:
Clear Target Behaviours/Focus Group
Painpoints in all the user journey's
Clear idea on What is working, what is not working for which group
Turning Insights
into Ideas & Concepts
Capturing Insights required overlooking multiple painpoints and if required back to raw data to understand core value behind every problem.
Which sometimes unifies multiple pain-points to one, by representing issues of similar user groups & opening up the opportunity area.
Ideation Example:
"Strivers, having no prior mind about goal may get stuck at a point trying to suceed out of need. Thats when a clear advice/motivation/help can make them achieve their goal "
Having grip on behaviours, it becomes easier to brainstorm quality ideas.
Identified multiple Insights based on themes of problem areas. Keeping GOAL in mind we started brainstorming multiple Ideas and went on to conceptualise them.
Internal Decisions:
Internal Team & Direct Impacting Stakeholders
Perspectives: Insights & Information
Constructive Conflicts: Listening & Considering
Frequently Verifying through Facts
Deciding on what to do
Updated System Map
This map helped us in aligning with stakeholders and communicating the higher level changes which need to be done for the proposed changes.
For implementing the 3 important concepts, there should be slight change in the approach of other stakeholders than how they are doing it today.
Leadership Decisions:
Leadership Teams & Indirect/Indirect Impacting Stakeholders
Key Leaders & Influencers - Cross-functional Stakeholders
Full picture, Verified & Clear Insights - Best proposed solutions, Measures & Perspectives
Quick Analysis: Cost, Budget, Resources, Confidence Building
Clearing Obstacles, Decisions & Commit
Clear Plan, Action Steps & Ownership
Visualising Behaviours
& User Scenarios
Visualising scenarios helped us to undersatand and imagine how the journey going to be for the user. Where all what steps he/she might be taking.
Visualising and Mapping User Archetypes and Multiple scenarios(First-time, Frequent, Revisit, Distracted, etc..) has given complete grip on the users and their needs.

Small, High-Level
User Story Map
& Prioritisation
Agile environment things/decisions move extremely fast. Multiple people working on multiple things at the same time.
Which impacts timelines but at the end of the day, there will be progress in solving many user problems.
Outcome:
Testing Ideas, Finalisation of Sprint Versions
Stakeholder alignment on What & How it needs to be done
KPI and Measuring points
User Flow for Benefits
Info-Architecture
Covering he happy flows and few edge cases we went on to capture detail flows for Benefits from Entry to Booking confirmation.
A piece out of huge App channel information architecture is shown in below img. This process clearly conveys that, Capturing Beneficiary & Benefits together along with all the required information is the best way to make sure user is clear about what he is seeing.
However wanted to verify and see these detail at wireframe level to understand how well they communicate.
Testing & Card sorting
Midfi-Wireframes
& UX Writing
As many as variation we tried to design best possible interactions aswell all to maintain consistency in specific things like,
Wallet types: Three /Two /One
Three channels (App, Web & mweb)
It was toughest part. But once we are confident with the best possible ones, the stake holders alignment didn't take much time, as
My knowledge on tech plays a key role every time in finalising and presenting tech feasible user freindly designs. Also quickly aligning everyone.
Another aspect where I seriously invest time is in "UX writing". I believe so much in information communication and speaking in a specific tone which is bonded to Ethos.
At the end this is what user is interacting and creating a bond with.

Multiple Iterations
Testing & Refining
We have tested multiple designes with Hifi-wireframes and Basic visual designs to understand what is working and what is not. It was also important to balance the content and visuals along with placement.
Usability Testing & Heat-maps gave better understanding of what need to be finalised. As the deadlines approached we have increased the pace to capture the final iterations and decided to give with the best ux that we had in the end.
Visual Hierarchy & Balance
Navigation & Communication
WCAG Standards
Background & Visibility
Text Weight - legibility
Visual Design
After multiple iterations and with support of wonderful design system that we have, it became easier to picture the content and visuals in a balaned functional way.
Outcome:
Well placed Entry points (Action Trigger Points)
Action Items in the Wallet Attitudinal Journey
I have added few UI screens which will give you basic idea of the Benefits.
Product & Service Experience
Awareness & Motivation
