We start prototyping from the core features of the system: dashboard, calendar, illness history. The prototype was tested by two methods: classical usability testing and AB-test. The system showed worthy results: users achieved the task by committing no more than 1 error.
There are 2 roles in Oncona: doctor and patient. Some elements are common to both roles, but most of the functionality and features are different as users have different goals. Based on the analyzed experience of other medical information portals, systems and applications, recommendations for design were formed.
