Summary: 
Designed a prototype for an online repository for physician-contributed medical case studies.

Our interdisciplinary team received a grant to build a prototype that would allow medical professionals to publish, comment on and classify authentic clinical cases. I completed a competitive analysis of existing online case repositories and online health communities and helped develop survey questions. Based on findings from the competitive analysis and semi-structured interviews with physicians I created wireframes in Omnigraffle. These wireframes became the template for the prototype built in XWiki.

Results: 
Poster for the project was presented at the 2008 American Medical Informatics Association Annual Symposium.
