Om Easy PT Easy Fysioterapi-triageapplikation

Easy PT Easy er en mobilapplikation, der guider førstegangs fysioterapipatienter gennem et klart og velinformeret behandlingsforløb. Papirarbejde erstattes af en strømlinet onboardingproces. Selvvurderingsværktøjer til symptomer hjælper brugerne med at forstå deres smerter, og direkte forbindelsesveje kobler brugerne sammen med fysioterapeuter uden henvisning fra en praktiserende læge. Relaterbare caseeksempler og en enkel brugerflade mindsker bekymring og opbygger tillid. Applikationen blev skabt for at hjælpe patienter med at tage en aktiv rolle i deres genoptræning.

Produktionsteknologi: Stacey Chen employed human-centered design methods, beginning with qualitative research through interviews and journey mapping to identify user pain points. She synthesized insights into key design goals: clarity, empathy, and accessibility. Low-fidelity wireframes and user flows were iterated based on feedback, leading to a refined prototype. The final design emphasizes intuitive interaction, storytelling, and efficient onboarding tailored to first-time PT patients.
Designudfordring: The hardest part was addressing patients’ emotional uncertainty while navigating the complexity of the healthcare system. Social stigma around injury and limited access to clear information made it difficult for users to trust or engage early. Technological limitations in existing PT systems and privacy concerns also posed challenges. Overcoming these meant designing a solution that felt human, safe, and intuitive, bridging gaps in empathy, access, and communication.
Forskning: This project used qualitative research to understand the emotional and practical challenges of starting physical therapy. The goal was to uncover patient pain points and gaps in the process. Interviews and surveys were conducted with both patients and clinicians. Insights revealed confusion, fear, and a lack of clear guidance. These findings shaped a design that simplifies the PT journey, improves communication, and encourages early engagement, benefiting both healthcare systems and patient well-being.
Inspiration: Having gone through a serious accident, Stacey Chen experienced firsthand the confusion and anxiety surrounding physical therapy. This inspired her to investigate how design could ease that journey. Through interviews with patients and clinicians, she identified critical gaps in communication and preparedness. The resulting design blends empathetic storytelling with intuitive tools to guide users, reduce anxiety, and improve access to physical therapy.
Projektvarighed: The project started in January 2024 in Chicago and finished in June 2024 in Chicago.
Driftsflow: Easy PT-Easy guides users step by step, starting with a simple introduction and relatable story to ease anxiety. Users answer a few questions about their pain, and the app helps them understand what might be happening. It then connects them directly to a physical therapist. No doctor visit needed. By setting clear expectations and using friendly language, the app helps patients feel more prepared, supported, and confident about starting their recovery journey.
