Overview
San Lucas, based in Dubai, required a complete redesign to improve usability and build a more trustworthy and structured experience. The existing platform was outdated, hard to navigate, and lacked clarity across key interactions.
The goal was to simplify how patients book appointments, access information, and interact with the platform—aligning the experience with modern healthcare and booking standards.
Problem
The existing experience created friction across key patient actions:
Unstructured Navigation: Information was scattered, making it difficult for users to find relevant services
Complex Booking Flow: Appointment booking lacked clarity and required unnecessary steps
Lack of Familiar Patterns: The experience didn’t follow expected booking or e-commerce interaction models
Inconsistent Interfaces: UI patterns varied across pages, reducing trust and usability
Approach
Starting with research and competitive analysis, I identified usability gaps and mapped them into clearer flows and navigation.
Through iterative sprints and feedback, I refined the experience while collaborating with designers, developers, and branding teams to ensure consistency and scalability.
User Flows: Simplified complex journeys into clear, task-focused actions
Validation: Refined designs through feedback and usability testing
Design System: Built a scalable UI system using components, tokens, and variables
Key Decisions
Focused on improving usability, consistency, and conversion:
Booking First Experience: Positioned appointment booking as a primary action to reduce drop-offs and increase engagement
Familiar Interaction Patterns: Aligned flows with common e-commerce and booking behaviors to reduce cognitive load
Clear Information Hierarchy: Structured content for quick scanning and easy navigation across services
Design System with Variables: Built a scalable system enabling responsiveness across desktop, tablet, and mobile without redesigning screens
Developer-Friendly CMS: Created a structured system to help developers manage content and profiles efficiently

The platform now feels more structured, easier to navigate, and aligned with modern healthcare expectations after iterative design sprints.
