At the sudden outbreak of the global COVID-19 pandemic, diabetes patients and their families found themselves in a state of high vulnerability and uncertainty. The Israeli National Diabetes Council urgently needed a comprehensive digital platform to provide immediate, reliable, and life-saving information. The challenge was immense: the council had to consolidate a massive, constantly shifting influx of medical articles, real-time guidelines, recommendations, instructional videos, and emergency service links. They needed a single hub that could simultaneously serve anxious patients and high-stress medical personnel. Because the volume of data was enormous and required continuous updates, the council needed a design that could eliminate cognitive overload and allow users to find critical answers as quickly as possible.

I led the comprehensive UI/UX and web design for this emergency digital platform. Applying a highly accessible “Less is More” philosophy, I created an intuitive, user-friendly visual system designed to function flawlessly under high-stress conditions.

My specific contributions included:
Clean UI/UX Architecture: I designed a minimalist, highly structured interface that made dense medical data feel organized and unthreatening. The clean layouts ensured that both elderly patients and busy doctors could navigate the site effortlessly.

Information Hierarchy & Content Layouts: I established a clear visual hierarchy to catalog diverse media formats - ranging from long-form articles and video content to direct service links and a rapid Q&A forum. This ensured that critical, time-sensitive updates were always front and center.

Dynamic Design System: I developed a flexible layout framework capable of handling massive, daily content updates without compromising the site’s structural integrity or user friendliness.

(In line with its crisis-response purpose, the website was successfully decommissioned once the pandemic subsided).
