Dentist Patient Scheduler

Problem

Dental offices often rely on outdated scheduling systems that are cluttered, unintuitive, and difficult to navigate.

 

The original interface suffered from:

  • Overcrowded layout with minimal spacing
  • Inconsistent color usage without clear meaning
  • Redundant or confusing controls (e.g., “DELETE” in all caps)
  • Lack of accessibility and visual hierarchy

 

These issues created friction for front-desk staff, increased the risk of booking errors, and made it harder to manage patient flow efficiently

Analysis

A heuristic evaluation and visual audit revealed several usability violations:

  • Visibility of system status: No clear indication of selected filters or active days
  • Match between system and real world: Abbreviations like “Tua” confused users
  • Consistency and standards: Button styles, labels, and layout lacked uniformity
  • Aesthetic and minimalist design: Excessive visual noise and poor spacing
  • Accessibility gaps: No support for screen readers, color contrast issues, and unclear focus states

User interviews with dental office staff emphasized the need for:

  • A clean, glanceable layout
  • Clear day and time indicators
  • Easy-to-use controls for adding, editing, and filtering appointment
line between Analysis and Solution

Solution

The redesigned interface introduces a modern, intuitive scheduling experience:

  • Clean layout: Simplified calendar grid with clear time slots and day labels
  • Consistent styling: Unified typography, button styles, and color-coded appointment blocks
  • Improved controls: Streamlined filters and actions (Add, Delete, Print) with icon support
  • Accessibility-first design: High contrast, readable fonts, and logical tab order
  • Scalable structure: Sidebar filters and weekday checkboxes allow flexible customization
