Low-Fidelity Prototype


Based on our analysis we have build our first low-fidelity prototype. At first we choosed paper prototype because we though it was going to be fast and we wouldnt spend much time on this stage.
 But after two long sessions on building our prototype we noticed that this method has also its bad side: 
1. We had to make the screen again if we write something wrong.

We are presenting below our results for tre scenarious

1. Make an appointment with a general doctor

Description of the situation: 
Ina is a student from Tirana who is studying in UPM this year. It’s her second month in Madrid and she doesn’t speak Spanish at all. This weekend she was feeling sick , she had cough but she thought she was going to be ok with some tea. But she is still feeling sick and she has a pain on her chest. She thinks it is not emergency but it will be good if she goes to a hospital around her house on Thursday morning between 8:30 AM to 10 AM. She has never been to hospital here, she doesn’t know where the hospitals are, her friends are foreigner too … But her friends told her that she can see a general doctor in the hospital and they will direct her to the necessary doctor. So she is going to use the software to find a hospital close to her home and make an appointment. 


Scenario:

Ina will search for the best hospital close to her house by choosing search by current location.
The results of the hospital will be shown in a map form.
Since she wants the best hospital close to her house it will be hard for her to find in the map so she will switch to the list view to filter for the hospitals based on rating.
She will pick the first hospital in list and she will choose on which date she wants the appoinment . She thinks that  on 7th its a good date for her so she put on the date field 7/04/2011. Then the table with the time available by the hostpital is shown to her. She wants to go early in the morning so she picks the time 8:30 Am , and then she pres on th submit button. The list of her waitting appoinment is shown to her. The first one in the list is the appoinment she just made. There she can see the adress of the hospital and how to get to that hospital. In a very short period of time she could make an appoinemnt.
She is happy for this

We uploaded a video that shows how Ina will interact with our system to perform her task:

The doctor told him that the laborotory results will be available for him this week and based on these results he would let him know if he needs another session for his treatment.

First he has to login to the system with his username and password
In his profile page he can update his personal information, see awaiting and past appointments and check the results from past appointments
He will go to the results page and see that his last appointment at Hospital Moncloa has a new result available
On this result he will see the doctor's note that says he is fine but he needs to make another appointment next month.
And he will also see the doctor's attachment which contains the result of his blood test.
He will download the document for detailed information.
