Uber-like Lab Test Ordering System

Designing a system that orchestrates patients, labs, and couriers for on-demand lab test ordering and sample collection.

Context

A diagnostics company wanted to offer patients an on-demand way to order lab tests at home. The product needed to coordinate orders, couriers, and laboratories while maintaining traceability for samples and results.

Our Role

  • Modelled actors and flows: patient, courier, lab technician, and back-office staff.
  • Specified requirements for ordering, pickup scheduling, tracking, and result delivery.
  • Defined edge cases such as failed pickups, rescheduling, and partial fulfilment.
  • Delivered user stories and clickable mockups for mobile and web touchpoints.

Outcome

With a detailed specification and prototypes, the client could implement an MVP that safely orchestrated lab test orders in a way that was understandable to both patients and operational teams.
