Designing Trust in AI-Assisted Clinical Workflows

FertilityFit evolved from a wellness supplement platform into a clinical care coordination system. As Senior Product & Service Designer, I reframed the platform around explainability and role-aware workflows, increasing AI recommendation adoption from 40% to 85% while improving clinician confidence in operational decision-making.

The issue wasn’t missing data. It was workflow fragmentation. During workflow observations and contextual interviews, I noticed something unexpected: Care teams were creating parallel workflows outside the platform using sticky notes, spreadsheets, WhatsApp reminders, and manual follow-ups; despite the platform already surfacing patient risks, treatment indicators, and AI-generated recommendations.


The problem wasn’t visibility. The problem was that alerts surfaced risk without clinical context, prioritization, ownership clarity, and next-step guidance. Clinicians could see that “something required attention.”But they couldn’t confidently determine why it mattered, who should act, and what should happen next.


As a result, teams stopped relying on the platform operationally and defaulted back to manual coordination systems. The issue wasn’t AI accuracy. It was the lack of explainability within the workflow itself.

To understand why the roadmap felt misaligned, I needed to see the care system from the inside rather than through feature requirements alone.


I mapped the full patient journey across coaches, fertility specialists, psychologists, nutritionists, and operational staff; tracing not just what happened at each stage, but where decisions slowed down, where information fragmented, and where care teams were relying on memory instead of systems. What emerged was a coordination problem.


The more I observed the workflows, the clearer it became that the proposed AI layer was adding cognitive pressure rather than reducing it. Clinicians didn’t need more information. They needed information they could trust quickly enough to act on during real consultations.

Understanding the Workflow Breakdown

Before redesigning the dashboard, I mapped how clinicians actually coordinated care across the fertility journey. This included workflow observations, service blueprints, clinician interviews, operational dependencies, communication flows, and escalation pathways. This revealed a critical insight: The dashboard wasn’t functioning as the operational source of truth. Instead, coordination was happening outside the system.

Teams often couldn’t determine who should act, when action was required and what the next step should be.

This created repeated coordination loops across care teams.

The Trust Gap Discovery:

Through contextual interviews and workflow reviews, I uncovered that clinicians were systematically ignoring AI-generated flags - not because the predictions were inaccurate, but because the system couldn’t explain why a recommendation had been surfaced. In clinical environments, unexplained intelligence creates hesitation instead of trust.

By this stage, the problem was no longer designing a better dashboard interface. It was redesigning how the platform structured trust, coordination, and decision-making across multiple clinical roles.

A. Strategic Pivot & AI Reframing

I presented the research findings to the senior stakeholder and recommended abandoning the original feature-led roadmap entirely. Instead of building a passive reporting dashboard, I reframed the product as a clinical decision-support system designed around coordination, explainability, and workflow-specific intelligence.


This was not a comfortable conversation. The original roadmap was already emotionally and strategically invested in. Rather than debating design preferences, I focused the discussion around clinical risk, trust, and operational failure points surfaced through research.

B. Redesigning the visual system

At the beginning of the project, FertilityFit still operated visually like its original supplement-focused brand. The interface used a warm orange palette designed for consumer wellness marketing rather than clinical coordination. But as the platform evolved into a multi-disciplinary fertility care system, the visual language began creating friction.


The interface needed to feel calmer, more trustworthy, and operationally structured - not promotional. The product was no longer selling supplements. It was supporting high-stakes clinical decisions across coaches, specialists, and patients.

I worked closely with the mid-weight designer leading the broader brand identity to rethink how FertilityFit should visually position itself inside the larger AdeaHealth ecosystem.


Together, we audited the existing interface system, interaction patterns, accessibility contrast levels, and emotional perception of the product across different user roles. Through internal reviews and workflow testing sessions, it became clear that the existing visual direction amplified urgency and visual noise rather than supporting focus and clinical clarity.

The Color-System Decision:

We transitioned the platform from a high-energy orange system into a more restrained purple-based visual language designed around trust, cognitive calmness, and information hierarchy. The change wasn’t aesthetic rebranding alone. It fundamentally changed how the product behaved.


The new system introduced:

  • clearer visual prioritisation

  • calmer interaction states

  • reduced alert fatigue

  • stronger contrast between informational and actionable elements

  • more scalable component behaviour across dashboards, tables, and AI states


As the platform expanded beyond supplements into AI-assisted fertility coordination, the visual system needed to communicate medical credibility without feeling cold or institutional.

Every workflow decision in this project was tested against one question: Does this help clinicians confidently act, or does it simply give them more data to process?


That distinction ultimately shaped the entire system.
