Key Tasks
Wearing Many Hats to Shape AR experience, I bridged clinical insight with design and tech to create a solution that supports safer, more informed deliveries.
Led user research
literature review, interviews, diary studies
Mapped real-world workflows
and created task flows
Designed low-fidelity AR concept storyboards
storyboards and 3D fetal alignment flows.
Developed early Unity prototypes
collaborated with developers for final HoloLens integration.
Connected PACS ultrasound data with HoloLens
via EM tracking to guide fetal repositioning visually.
Getting Started
Deeper Insights from User Research Drawn from interviews, diary studies, and workflow observations with OB-GYNs, midwives, and sonologists

HMW simulate realistic ultrasound scenarios using AR to support skill development?
Training Tools Are Inaccessible
Midwives Says
HMW humanize the experience by making fetal visuals more tangible for families?
Most parents don’t understand what they’re seeing on the screen.
