Rapid validation of AI features for a healthcare scribe

Turi Saúde is an early-stage healthcare startup on a mission to give physicians back their time — by taking the paperwork off their plate.

USER PAIN POINT

47% of physicians’ time is spent on admin workflow instead of patient care

Surveyed Geriatrician

“It would be very helpful to compile the exams and easily paste this information into the medical record. [...] instead of typing each exam one by one, I can use that time with the patient.”

Interviewed Radiologist

“During the appointment, they bring everything printed. So I take pictures and write things down later, otherwise I lose too much time.”

Challenge

Physicians face a stack of documentation tasks to comply with regulations.

Turi wanted to launch new features for an enhanced experience to create market differentiation and increase lead generation.

My role

I led the UX strategy and design of the platform, including the launch of Turi’s experimentation platform, Turi Lab.

Turi Lab ⎯ a platform to experiment with new AI features
50%

boost in leads base

To differentiate from competitors, I designed, built, and launched Turi Lab to validate new AI features, reducing engineering dependency for faster validation given constrained resources. This enabled:

  • Shorter user feedback loop

  • User-centered approach

  • New leads and partnerships

Lab Results Summarizer synthesizes lab and imaging results in one click. I iteratively updated the feature based on user interviews and feedback loops.

  • Optimizing the annotation process of multiple results into the EHR

  • Reducing reported patient anxiety once physicians focus on them, while the AI summarizes the results

This AI feature auto-completes the LME form — a mandatory document for high-cost medications — following strict compliance to prevent request deferrals.

Following a successful pilot with over 770+ uses, we are integrating expert feedback to ensure 100% form completion. This update provides a unique feature not offered by competitors yet.

design-dev collaboration

Merge of Turi Lab’s AI feature into the main platform

spacer

To integrate Lab Results Summarizer with the Scribe (main platform), I partnered with engineers to speed up the build process, given our deadline. This approach enabled:

  • Design to production in 10 days

  • Reduced design reviews

  • More autonomy to validate usability
