Brief

As part of an internship at Penn Medicine, I collaborated on improving guides for enteral feeding systems. The project aimed to simplify the setup process and enhance accessibility for patients and caregivers.

Identified Problem

Observations and feedback showed that existing guides were unclear and difficult to follow, leading to misuse and delays in feeding system operation. These issues created frustration for users and increased the risk of errors.

Solution

I redesigned usability guides for enteral feeding systems, incorporating clear visuals, intuitive layouts, and simplified language. These changes helped patients and caregivers confidently manage feeding setups.

Outcome

The new guides are now provided to all enteral feeding users at Penn Medicine, improving confidence and reducing setup errors. Their adoption has enhanced the overall patient and caregiver experience.
