Visualizing Body Measurements and Results Without Pretending to Diagnose

Movement — Corporate Health Checkup App for Ichilov Hospital
Movement surfaces real clinical data, latest body measurements and recent checkup results, to people who are checking in, not being treated. That framing shaped every data-visualization decision, and it has direct engineering consequences a CTO should weigh. The goal was glance-able comprehension on a phone, not a clinician's analytics console. So I kept visualizations restrained: a measurement and where it sits relative to a reference, a result the user can read without interpretation, surfaced on the dashboard and in post-visit summaries. From an R&D angle, the hard part isn't drawing a chart, it's the data contract. Reference ranges, units, and result states have to be modeled cleanly so the UI renders trustworthy values across organizations and over time, and degrades gracefully when a value is missing or pending rather than rendering a misleading empty state. I deliberately avoided visualizations that imply diagnosis or trend conclusions we aren't positioned to make, that's a scope and liability boundary, not just a design taste. For engineering, that's a feature: a tighter, well-typed data model is easier to test and harder to misuse. The principle I'd defend in any architecture review: visualize for orientation, model for truth, and never let the chart claim more than the data honestly supports.

What One Glance-able Dashboard Actually Returns

The dashboard in Movement (Ichilov's corporate checkup app) wasn't a 'nice to have' — it was the business case. In a B2B2C benefit, a product nobody reopens isn't a benefit, it's a cost that gets cut at renewal. So I designed the home screen to answer one question on open: where am I in my care right now? Purchased checkups, next appointment, latest measurements, recent results. The most expensive feature isn't the complex one — it's the one that drives downloads but no return visits, because you pay acquisition twice. Retention is the ROI. Design for the moment of reassurance, not screen time.

Edge Cases in Health Systems: How Do You Design Error Screens and Critical Health Alerts?

Engineering leaders on health apps, edge cases aren't a "Nice to Have" – they're an existential requirement. In a medical system, an unclear error screen = a possible misdiagnosis. In Ichilov's Movement project, we documented every exceptional state from day one with a dedicated UI component. Require your designers to document edge cases before you write any code.
