Micalys Redesign
Micalys Redesign
Translating complex medical workflows into
Streamlined, role-based reporting system that enhances clarity, reduces friction, and scales across diverse lab environments.
Redesigning the interface for Micalys,
To streamline workflows, enhance interface clarity, and resolve system-level security concerns caused by redundant modes and poor usability.
OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Micalys redesign focused on transforming Medprime’s digital microscopy interface into a more intuitive, efficient, and secure platform. The original system suffered from unclear workflows, confusing interface elements, and a redundant Maintainer Mode that risked data privacy. Through this redesign, we aimed to create a user-centered experience that supports seamless diagnostics while safeguarding sensitive information.

Note on Confidentiality
Due to confidentiality, I’m unable to share the final designs, as Some portions of the interface—particularly those involving sensitive workflows—have been redacted for compliance. However, the overall strategy is reflected in the shared documentation, and I’d be happy to walk you through the rationale behind the key decisions.

Small interface changes can solve big problems
Even minor adjustments in layout, click paths, or access permissions can drastically improve efficiency, prevent misuse, and build user trust.
Hardware-aware design strengthens usability
Working with a physical medical device reminded me that good UX must also account for hardware behavior, limitations, and context of use.
Complexity for the system ≠ , complexity for the user
Even when logic is intricate, like in dynamic, dependency-based forms, users still expect clean, intuitive interfaces. Simplifying the surface is critical.
Role clarity improves both usability and security
Defining user roles not only streamlined the interface but also minimized errors and protected sensitive data.
