Gear Exchange
Finding and filtering AI algorithms that help researchers leverage AI for data curation
A medical imaging data management and analysis platform
Company
My Role
UX Designer
Gears are AI algorithms that can be downloaded and installed into the SaaS Core platform. This is the user’s first step to getting access to Gears using our Gear Exchange, and it was:
confusing
hard to find what they need
can’t filter by certain requirements and needs
The Challenge
The Task
I was tasked with making a list with filtering for gears for the marketing site. The task was to make this:
filterable and usable
less time-consuming
more consistent
There were four stakeholders, each with a different perspective and goal which was a challenge.
The Research
As one of the first UX research efforts at the company, we used these methods to ensure we were solving the correct problems, filtering by the right things:
Conducted Internal and external user interviews
Mapped the workflows
Reviewed previous requests
The Findings
In data-driven research, we found that users want:
to see clearly what is free versus what is extra cost
to filter by third parties, type of image
to know the number of results and total gears
information about the gear, including maintainer, last updated date, version of the gear, and the description
The Solution
This should be added to our SaaS platform, Core, as a marketplace rather than being solely on the marketing site, which is the first step to implementation.
The Impact
Based on interviews, users could more easily access gears and find what they were looking for and it was clear what the cost was.
What’s Next
This will be added to the Core product as a marketplace, along with the existing Data Exchange, which users can search similarly to find data sets that they might need for their research or clinical study.
