Anthem
Sydney Health Mobile App

Background

The Virtual Care experience in Anthem’s Sydney Health mobile app was proving to be confusing, in that members are required to select the type of care they need, and the “primary” and “urgent” terminology used was suspected to not completely fit with users’ mental models for what those terms actually mean. It was also not clear whether the initial layout was the most beneficial, so multiple layout options were tested.

Objective

To understand how the entry points could be adapted to improve user engagement toward the proper flow based on their need, and decrease the use of “primary care” for “urgent care” issues.

Methodology

Iterative usability testing and surveys to guide design decisions. Design and content approaches were examined to identify improvements to overall navigation throughout the various stages and types of care.

 

Research Demographics

 

Initial Sydney Health Home Screen

The percentage of patients in the “Primary Care” pathway was designated as too low, indicating misdirection at the entry points. Also, more patients than desired were using “Virtual Primary Care” instead of “Symptom Checker” or “Chat with a Doctor” for “urgent care” concerns.

 

Layout Options

Widget layout, Three button layout, Two button layout

 
 

Click Tests

Button labels

Sick visit - Headache

Chronic condition visit - Type 2 Diabetes

 

Executive Summary

Based on these moderated and unmoderated sessions, we have since changed the button labeling and kept the three button layout. Next steps are continually being explored in order to better steer users to the proper pathway based on their needs.
