DIGITAL VISION TEST
Client Industry: Retail | My Role: UX and UI design
The client wanted Infusion to envision the future of healthcare that represents their brand and value. We brainstormed with the client on creative ideas and then narrowed down to 10 ideas. The following concept of Digital Vision Test is one of them.
rationale
About 600 million people in the developing world are vision impaired and do not have access to adequate vision care. Meanwhile, the global economic cost of lost work due to people with poor vision has been estimated at $700 million per year. We want to help the client reinvent the regular vision test, and the idea is to deploy self-guided vision tests using the most advanced technology at hand: smart phones/tablets.
My Role as UX Designer
I started with researching comprehensive eye/vision exams and comparing existing gadgets that support different types of eye exams. I also looked into different charts being used to measure visual acuity around the world. Since the goal was to create a self-served vision test, having a solution that can be easily conducted by the end users is critical. Therefore, exams supported by gadgets/equipments such as refraction test, eye teaming and eye movement weren’t included in the concept.
Scenario 1
Using voice recognition on a tablet to guide the users through the vision test.
The experience starts with collecting information such as health insurance provider and prescription. The users then set up the voice control, followed by an intro screen to guide the user prepping for the test. The test contains three parts: visual acuity, contrast vision, and color vision. The test result is displayed along with the user’s vision care provider if they provided the information at the beginning.

Scenario 2
Using a smartphone as a remote control would allow the user to control the test from across the room by triggering interactions within the browser.
