THE PROJECT.
My group and I were tasked to design a pharmacy of the future.
We took a look into the current medical experience and how to increase
participation in clinical trials. We teamed up with Avallano Health Care
and focused on the the female experience in a pharmacy and restructuring
that experience for her.

Women are a group that tends to not be prevalent in clinical trials compared to men. Especially those who are from
communities that can't offer them services to educate them about the trials and their health.
The choice of focusing on women was to find why women have more negative experiences in the pharmacy space, especially
those ages 14-30 and what women need to feel more safe.

Our goal is to design a user experience that will alleviate discomfort and judgment that
is felt by women within the current pharmacy system.
By creating a space and its interactions centered around privacy, safety, community,
and education, we can encourage women to prioritize their health and become more
well-informed about their options.

The action of having to flip it open to see the room was just an unnecessary step (too complicated)
Getting rid of thumb indent - not purposeful enough

For the clinic we utilized a similar checking in
process for privacy to be kept and allowing the
patient to enter the room on their own. When
the doctor is ready they would be notified and
can discretely enter the room provided to them.

For users without access to a mobile phone or
the app we used a kiosk check in system. Once
they are checked in it dispenses a buzzer that
notifies them once their prescription/doctor is
ready. For patients it provides a room number
so they know where to go.
If the customer checks in with a staff member,
a buzzer will be given to them by the staff.

making women feel more safe so we decided to
name it after Salus, the Roman Goddess, who
symbolizes safety and well-being.

The outdoor community space is located beneath
the clinic and it sheltered. It is designed to be able
to hold outdoor activities such as yoga, gardening,
and has a playground. The space is in the sun but is
sheltered by a curved wall to ensure privacy and safety.
The community space promotes the message that our
pharmacy isn't just a place for medical health, but a
place for overall well-being.

The cafe is designed to be an option as a “waiting
room” and also space for women to talk or relax.
Customers can grab quick and inexpensive drinks or
bites to eat while waiting for or even after appointments
/prescriptions or just to chill and do work.

The final pharmacy system utilizes the same intimate
and private interaction as described before. There is
also seating within the pharmacy space for people to
wait. The goal of this new pharmacy system was to
allow women to have access to someone to talk
about products and also better protect their privacy
and safety when shopping.

Customers can choose to check into an
appointment using the Salus App. Then they
can wait in the cafe or private lounge depending
on their preference. Once the doctor is ready
they will receive a notification with the room

Customers can make/pick up a prescription
on the Salus Mobile App. Once they click
"I'm Here" the staff member will bring out their

For customers that may not have access to a
mobile phone or the app, there is a kiosk
check-in system. Once they have checked in
the kiosk will dispense a buzzer that will notify
them when the doctor is ready and well as the
room number.
The final buzzer design is much simpler and
features an elevated curve on the edge to hide
the room number that is displayed from others.
