ECRI case study

Refining UX for better patient safety decisions.

ECRI helps healthcare organizations make informed decisions through trusted data, research, and expertise. As ECRI Studio prepared for broader rollout, ECRI needed an experience that matched the strength of the platform behind it.

Mobomo identified barriers to adoption, prioritized high-impact improvements, and redesigned critical elements of the user experience to make ECRI Studio more intuitive, accessible, and ready for its next stage of growth.

the challenge

When users can’t find it, value gets lost.

ECRI Studio brings data, resources, and decision-support capabilities together for healthcare professionals with very different roles and needs. But as the platform approached broader rollout, early research revealed a foundational problem: users could not always find, understand, or confidently navigate the experience.


Mobomo's assessment uncovered three interconnected areas of friction. Navigation made it difficult for users to orient themselves or predict where information lived. Search, the natural fallback when navigation failed, did not consistently surface known content. Accessibility issues, including contrast failures across navigation, content pages, and form elements, introduced additional usability barriers and WCAG 2.1 AA compliance concerns.
 

The challenge was bigger than polishing an interface. ECRI needed to strengthen user confidence before rollout while distinguishing the changes that mattered immediately from enhancements that could evolve with the platform over time.

The approach

Evidence into action.

Mobomo combined user research with rapid design execution to turn ECRI Studio’s usability challenges into a focused improvement strategy. Through stakeholder interviews, user sessions, heuristic evaluation, platform walkthroughs, and analysis of existing feedback, we identified and prioritized the issues most likely to affect migration readiness and user confidence. Those insights guided immediate design improvements while giving ECRI a roadmap for continued platform evolution.

The results

A clearer path forward.

In six weeks, Mobomo helped ECRI turn 38 documented UX findings into a prioritized improvement strategy and actionable design direction for ECRI Studio. Twelve findings were addressed through immediate design work across four core workstreams, while the remaining recommendations were organized into a phased roadmap that gives ECRI’s product and engineering teams a clear path for continued improvement.

Roadmap for growth

ECRI gained more than immediate design improvements. The prioritized roadmap separates immediate, near-term, and future opportunities, giving the organization an evidence-based framework for evolving ECRI Studio as capabilities and user needs continue to expand.

Meaningful impact

Why it matters.

Healthcare professionals rely on digital platforms to help them interpret information and make consequential decisions. An interface that creates uncertainty, hides valuable resources, or excludes users can undermine even the strongest underlying technology.

Clearer navigation

Mobomo created stronger visual hierarchy and more predictable navigation patterns so users can understand where they are, distinguish categories from destinations, and move through ECRI Studio with less trial and error.

More findable information

Restructured content pages, improved resource presentation, and clearer entry points help users discover relevant information without already knowing exactly where it lives.

Accessibility built into the experience

Mobomo identified and remediated contrast issues across navigation, content pages, forms, and interactive states, documenting WCAG 2.1 AA measurements and design changes to create a more inclusive foundation for the platform.

A homepage with purpose

The redesigned homepage transforms the platform’s entry point into a more useful starting experience, surfacing relevant resources and data while providing clearer pathways to key tools and information.

Great healthcare technology doesn't just deliver information. It helps people find what matters, understand it, and act with confidence.
