Oshi Health is a provider of virtual-first, value-based care for gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. The company needed to address high drop-off rates (33%) during the appointment booking process, the final step of their sign-up flow. Our users, predominantly U.S. residents aged 26-55 with GI-related issues, aim to easily book their first appointment and begin their care journey with minimal friction.

Project Background

This feature redesign was defined by my manager, the Sr. Product Designer at Oshi Health, due to high drop-off rates in the appointment booking process. The 33% drop-off rate was significantly impacting new member conversion, making this a high-priority project for the business.

Goals and Considerations

Primary Goal

Design a UI that decreases the 33% drop-off rate during onboarding appointment booking and increases member conversion

Key Considerations

  • Investigate reasons behind the high drop-off rate

  • Context of booking doctor's appointments

Target Users

Analyzed Oshi Health data to define my target users:

  • Residents of the United States

  • Age 26-55

  • GI related issues

Competitor Analysis

  • Examined app store reviews for similar services like ZocDoc and other healthcare booking apps

  • Identified key features and UI elements

  • Noted common pain points and areas for improvement in existing solutions

Mapping User Flows

The journey of a user booking an appointment with Oshi Health begins with the user landing on the homepage and progresses through account creation or login, personal information entry, appointment type selection, date and time choice, and final confirmation.

Key decision points and potential drop-off areas are highlighted, showing where my redesign focuses on improving user experience and reducing the 33% drop-off rate.

Problems I Solved

  1. Streamlined the date and time selection process

  2. Reduced user commitment barriers in appointment booking

problem 1

The inefficient date and time selection process is causing user frustration.

The previous appointment booking calendar:

  • Inefficient use of screen space

  • Slow loading times, causing user frustration

  • Limited visibility of available time slots

  • Lack of clear visual hierarchy for dates and times

  • Difficulty in comparing availability across different days

  • Poor mobile responsiveness, leading to suboptimal experience on smaller screens

Iterating

With research completed, I started wireframing some ideas. Two concepts stood out, and I presented these to my team to get feedback.

Concept 1: Multi-Day Appointment Grid

This concept was discarded because Oshi's 20-30 daily appointment slots would require excessive scrolling, potentially frustrating users.

Concept 2: Scrollable Daily Timeslots

First Draft

Second Draft

problem 2

Users don't want to commit to making an appointment.

Reduce booking anxiety by emphasizing flexibility and transparency:

  • Highlight easy cancellation and rescheduling options

  • Provide clear information about appointment process and expectations

  • Offer reassuring messaging throughout the booking flow

problem 2

Final Proposed Design

  • UX Improvements

  • Refreshed UI

Usability Testing

I conducted an A/B test using Useberry with 180 U.S. testers aged 26-55 who suffer from chronic diseases, which revealed that my design outperformed the previous version across all measured metrics.
Participants completed tasks such as "Make an appointment for Thursday, June 15 at 7:30 in the morning," simulating real-world usage.
To gather comprehensive feedback, I collected quantitative data through task completion metrics and Likert scale ratings, as well as qualitative insights from open-ended questions.

Engineering Specs

I created a dynamic design for various viewports that adapts seamlessly across mobile and desktop environments.

The design adjusts typography, spacing, and interactive elements to ensure optimal user experience on all devices, from smartphones to large desktop monitors.

I held a detailed review session with the engineering team. We discussed the responsive behavior, potential technical challenges, and optimal solutions for maintaining design integrity across all viewports.

Final Designs

Based on research data, we implemented my design. A click-through prototype can be viewed below.

✔️ Faster conversion: Weekly layout encourages users to book their appointment asap

✔️ Scalable: Better use of screen space

✔️ Scannable: Dates with no availability disabled, CTA disabled until valid date and time selected​

✔️ Speed improvements: Loading one week at a time is faster than loading one month
