Guerilla Research


When I joined the company, I was told to start designing immediately, even though I was

hired as a UX researcher and designer. My request to conduct research was denied, so I took

initiative. I connected with the marketing team, gathered dietitians' contacts, and

visited their offices after work to learn about diet and healthy eating.

I successfully gathered valuable insights from 15 of the nation's leading dietitians.

When I joined the company, I was told to start designing immediately, even though I was hired as a UX researcher and designer. My request to conduct research was denied, so I took initiative. I connected with the marketing team, gathered dietitians' contacts, and visited their offices after work to learn about diet and healthy eating. I successfully gathered valuable insights from 15 of the nation's leading dietitians.

Findings


1. Usage of an SGA form:

Typically, a client's visit starts with a physical exam, followed by a body composition analysis. After this, dietitians use an SGA (Subjective Global Assessment) form, a checklist to identify any nutritional anomalies, before prescribing a dietary plan.


2. The Landscape Mode Phenomenon

​A striking habit stood out during my interaction with the dietitians: they exclusively used their tablets in landscape mode, avoiding the switch to portrait. This unanimous and deliberate preference was confirmed when I double-checked with each individual.


3. Dietician's ABCs

In talks with dietitians, I learned about their "ABC method." It includes "Anthropometry" for body measurements like BMI, "Biochemistry" for internal health checks through blood tests, and "Clinical Assessment" for a full lifestyle review. This approach helps them thoroughly understand a person's health to give the best dietary advice.

Design


In a bold move, I quickly crafted a paper wireframe inspired by a doctor's diagnostic report to create a familiar feel for the dieticians. This fresh approach deviated from my previous work, offering exciting creative control within our design system's limits.


After extensive brainstorming, I refined my ideas into a clear wireframe, a crucial step that added logic and clarity to the design. I used light gray lines, two points wide, as subtle dividers between interactive elements. This choice not only enhanced visual cohesion but also improved user-friendliness, presenting a compact and intuitive layout.

Guerilla Research


When I joined the company, I was told to start designing right away. This made me quite nervous because I was hired as a UX researcher and designer, but my request to do research was denied.

So, I took matters into my own hands. I befriended the marketing team and got a list of dietitians' contacts. After work, I drove to their offices and spent time learning about diet and healthy eating.

I successfully gathered valuable insights from 15 of the nation's leading dietitians.

InBody is the world leader in Body Composition Analysis. I helped design software that connects dietitians with these advanced machines, making it easier to manage health and nutrition.

InBody machines might look like regular weighing scales, but they offer much more. When you step on one, it provides a detailed report about your body, far beyond what a normal scale can reveal.
