INSIGHT App
INSIGHT App is a clinical interface designed for Adapttech’s prosthetic fitting ecosystem. It translates data from the scanner and wearable sensors into a clear visual map of pressure inside the prosthetic socket, helping prosthetists identify problematic areas, follow rehabilitation, and keep track of patient records and previous adjustments throughout the fitting process.
The main challenge was designing for an audience with low digital confidence, in an industry that is known for adopting new technology slowly. The interface needed to feel immediately familiar, require very little learning, and fit naturally into existing clinical workflows.
Rather than asking users to learn an entirely new system, I built the experience around design patterns they already know from everyday digital products. This reduced friction and allowed the focus to stay on the app’s main value: helping clinicians understand what is happening inside the prosthetic socket in a simple and actionable way. This direction also aligned with Adapttech’s broader goal of creating an intuitive, easy-to-use system for everyday practice.
My role was to turn complex biomechanical information into a UI that could be understood at a glance. The app was designed to make pressure data readable, meaningful, and clinically useful — not just as raw information, but as a tool to support better decisions.
By combining scanner and wearable data into one clear interface, INSIGHT helps prosthetists move beyond a trial-and-error fitting process and work with more objective information. The result is a system that supports faster fitting, better tracking, and more informed adjustments, with the goal of improving both comfort and function for the user.
The app went through multiple iterations, starting with clinical validation and continuing through feedback, testing, and ongoing refinement. Early concepts were shaped through user input and gradually simplified until the experience became easier to understand, easier to navigate, and more useful in practice.
This process was essential to the final result. It ensured that the interface was not only visually clear, but genuinely usable for clinicians in a real working environment. Adapttech’s development process also reflects this evolution, with the product being refined through clinical evidence and feedback from customers and end users.
The final UI was refined to a point where it became easy to use while still delivering meaningful and relevant data. It gives prosthetists a more accessible way to understand socket pressure, monitor progress, and make better fitting decisions, helping them create a prosthetic device that is more functional and more comfortable for the patient.
To strengthen the case study, I included interviews videos, early user journey drafts, and user-testing footage. These materials help make the design process visible and add credibility by showing how the interface evolved through real feedback and validation.
Task
Design a simple, intuitive app that helps prosthetists understand socket pressure data and use it confidently in clinical practice.
