Collaboration with Shanghai Ninth Hospital
Timeline and Teams
Orthodontics is a long process which will last for at least two years. During long-term treatment, a lot of medical documents and materials such as x-ray photos and plaster models will be produced. Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital is one of the most popular hospitals which receives the patiences from all over the country. The large amount of medical documents and materials do impact both the daily work of doctors and as well the treatment experience of patiences. In order to solve the problem, I improved the current medical system, and designed a new type of medical card to make them work as the touch points.

Guarantee the safety and stability of cloud information center
Number of information is incredible huge. Data would take up many spaces.


Nurses can‘t help doctor to record medical cases
Medical cases of patience must be recorded by doctors since they are confidential and require professional knowledge.
Give up Notification by phone
Elderly and young children who do not take a phone to hospital often miss the call and repeatedly take the number.


Some detail
When doctors write medical records, they have to measure the X-ray with rulers. Therefore, digital records should also add digital rulers.
The original management system is of the function to facilitate doctors to check and amount of medical materials. Therefore, the function should also be add into my design.
