Experience
COVID-19 Clinical Tool
Designed this tool for use by clinicians during a consultation with a patient, allowing for an assessment of a patient's risk of complications if they were to contract COVID-19.
My involvement in this project focussed primarily on taking the initial generic tool built to support the pandemic and identifying and implementing ways in which the tool could be adapted to help other potential future pandemics. This was in addition to iterating the existing tool to support newly identified requirements gathered through engagement with clinicians.
