Role: UI/UX Designer | Timeline: 3 months | Tools: Figma | Scope: 90+ screens (web + mobile)

Prodigius is a B2B2C healthtech platform designed to digitize medical workflows for doctors, clinics, and patients. Clinics and healthcare providers pay for the core service, while patients have free access to their medical records, consultations, and health monitoring (with optional premium subscriptions for expanded features like additional file storage). The platform handles everything from appointment scheduling and video consultations to prescription management and patient monitoring groups across both web and mobile.

I worked on this project through Shift Sistemas, the software house where I currently work. The challenge? Prodigius had been built without any design foundation: no prototype, no design system, just developers free-handing screens. The result was a confusing, visually outdated platform that nobody wanted to use. My job was to completely reimagine the UI/UX across web and mobile, creating the platform's first cohesive design system and making complex medical workflows actually usable.

Modernized outdated 2015 aesthetic to contemporary, premium design

Simplified confusing navigation into intuitive workflows

Created platform's first-ever design system across 90+ screens

Redesigned for doctors, clinics, and patients across web and mobile

Prodigius is a B2B2C healthtech platform designed for doctors, clinics, and patients. Clinics pay for the service; patients use it free. But there was one major issue: nobody was using it.

The original system suffered from:

Visually outdated interface - Clashing orange and tan colors, low-quality icons, and a design aesthetic stuck in 2015

Confusing navigation - Users couldn't figure out how to complete basic tasks like booking consultations or viewing medical records

Inconsistent UI patterns - Developers had "free-handed" the entire interface without any design system or prototype, resulting in a chaotic user experience

No mobile optimization - Despite healthcare professionals needing mobile access, the experience was broken

For a paid platform targeting medical professionals, this wasn't just a cosmetic problem: it was a business-critical failure. Doctors and clinics expect premium tools.

This didn't deliver.

What I changed: Refined the existing gold color palette with better combinations, improved contrast and hierarchy, replaced harsh icons with friendlier curved alternatives.

Why: The platform needed to feel premium and trustworthy for paying medical professionals, not like outdated free software.

What I changed: Created a role-based navigation system with customized sidebars for each user type (Doctor, Patient, Clinic, Admin, Secretary). Each role sees only the features relevant to them, organized into clear sections (e.g., Doctor: Consulta, Painel, Agenda, Pacientes, Formulários, Prescrições, etc.).

Why: The platform serves five different user types with completely different needs and permissions. A one-size-fits-all navigation would be overwhelming and confusing. By tailoring the sidebar to each role, users can quickly find their specific tools without wading through irrelevant options.

What I changed: Redesigned the mobile home into a clean agenda view with appointment cards showing comprehensive information (date, time, doctor details, clinic location, price, and patient observations) all organized in scannable cards. Moved primary navigation to a persistent bottom tab bar (Agenda, Medical Records, Consultation, Profile) for easy access to all key features.

Why: Users need quick access to their appointments with all relevant details at a glance, plus seamless navigation between core features. The old interface was cluttered with everything competing for attention. Bottom navigation follows mobile UX best practices and keeps essential functions always accessible while letting the agenda view stay focused and uncluttered.

The visual strategy was simple: modern, minimalist, and subtly luxurious.

Why? Because Prodigius is a paid platform competing for doctors' and clinics' budgets. It needed to feel premium, trustworthy, and contemporary (not like free software from 2015).

Color palette: Refined gold accent with improved combinations for better contrast

Typography: Poppins (kept existing font for easier dev implementation)

Icons: Curved, friendly alternatives for approachability

Layout: Card-based with clear hierarchy

The main challenge? Scale. Designing 90+ screens for a complex medical platform in 3 months was intense.

Biggest learning: Figma file organization matters. I organized screens by the developers' PBI (Product Backlog Item) names for easier handoff, but in retrospect, organizing by user type (doctor/patient/admin) and then by user flow would have been clearer.

What surprised me: How much "client management" is part of design. I spent significant time explaining why certain requested changes didn't make UX sense and negotiating better solutions. That skill (advocating for users while keeping clients happy) was as important as the design itself.

What I'm proud of: This system went from completely unusable to actually elegant. It looks like a modern SaaS product that medical professionals would trust and pay for.

Prodigius went from a platform nobody wanted to use to a polished, professional healthtech product ready for market.

While the platform is still in active development and hasn't launched to end users yet, the redesign established:

Need a designer who can transform complex systems into elegant, usable experiences? Let's work together.
