What was going on?

The project emerged in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when the demand for lab testing was at its peak. D’Agostino Laboratories was receiving hundreds of phone calls per day to schedule appointments, making the need for a digital solution both urgent and essential.

How we tackled it

The visual identity was already established by the brand, but we needed to adapt certain elements — including typography, iconography, and color usage — to better suit the digital environment. Due to the urgency of the situation, there wasn’t time for in-depth research beyond a comparative benchmarking of similar healthcare apps.

The design process followed a familiar structure: user flows and low- to high-fidelity wireframes built in Figma. Development was handled by the company’s internal tech team.


So, how did it go?


  • +3000

    appointments booked during the first month


  • -1200

    estimated phone calls avoided thanks to the app


  • +75%

    of all appointments were booked through the app in its first month

As this was the first mobile app I designed, I had to learn common usage patterns and account for a wide range of screen sizes. I also had to adapt to very specific requirements from the lab — both in the data requested from users and in how information was displayed. Since the app was health-related and launched during a pandemic, language, icons, and color choices had to be handled with care to avoid overwhelming users.
