THE PROJECT
Within RUT, researchers need to find out if there are correlations between data in registers. This is initiated by comparing if the registers overlap in time. Researchers shall also be able to navigate through the list of registers and find relevant information.
MY ROLE
As the sole UX/UI designer I was responsible for the user journey and visual design.
THE RESULT
The outcome become a new feature within RUT where users are able to add registers for comparison and get a visual representation of their overlap in time.
The new design also enhanced navigation through the registers, by provide relevant and adequate amount of information on each page.
