Rapid product design for a high-stakes health experience

UX Design Lab designed a mission-critical IVF support experience under extreme timeline pressure, using a global follow-the-sun workflow to deliver a high-fidelity prototype in 45 days and help support the client’s next funding round.

Introduction

The Problem

The client needed a high-fidelity health product prototype fast, without sacrificing coherence or credibility. They were preparing for a funding round in which the product experience itself would be evaluated by investors — making quality, completeness, and clinical believability non-negotiable, even under a 45-day window.

The Response

Stood up a global follow-the-sun workflow so design work progressed continuously across time zones without handoff loss.

Product context and urgency

The client needed a high-fidelity health product prototype fast, without sacrificing coherence or credibility. They were preparing for a funding round in which the product experience itself would be evaluated by investors — making quality, completeness, and clinical believability non-negotiable, even under a 45-day window.

How UX Design Lab handled the speed constraint

With 200+ screens required in 45 days, a standard team structure would not work. UX Design Lab designed the delivery model alongside the product itself.

  1. Stood up a global follow-the-sun workflow so design work progressed continuously across time zones without handoff loss.
  2. Established a shared design language and component library early to maintain visual coherence across a large and rapidly growing screen count.
  3. Prioritized the core user journey — the IVF treatment pathway — to ensure clinical logic and emotional flow were right before expanding to secondary screens.
  4. Ran daily async review cycles to surface misalignments early and keep the prototype investor-ready throughout.
  5. Maintained documentation discipline so the prototype could be handed over as a legible, buildable specification.

What the prototype delivered

The final prototype was a complete, investor-ready representation of the IVF support experience — not a sketch or wireframe, but a high-fidelity artifact built to survive investor scrutiny.

Step 01

200+ screens covering the full treatment journey, from onboarding through cycle tracking and clinical communication.

Step 02

A shared component library and design language that kept the large prototype visually consistent throughout.

Step 03

Role-specific flows for patients, partners, and clinic staff built around real-world IVF treatment logistics.

Step 04

Handover documentation structured to support an engineering team picking up the prototype for build.

The Outcome

The prototype was delivered on schedule at full fidelity. More than 200 screens covered the primary treatment journey and supporting workflows with enough detail and coherence to be credible to clinical reviewers and investors alike. The client used it to support their next funding round.
