Build a platform to enable hospitals and cities in Ivory Coast to capture, maintain and update accurate and immutable birth records.
The goal of this project was to quickly find out what is the paper process today and how we can efficiently translate it to a digital product. This platform should enable entities to capture, maintain and update accurate and immutable records through the IBM Hyperledger Fabric. It is a multi-platform product with an admin panel that enables administrators to create custom certificate templates with specific workflows. It also offers users the ability to create, manage and print these certificates on the web, tablets and mobile phones.
The minimum viable product scope was for birth certificate records only. The global estimate is roughly 230 million of not officially registered children, 80% occur in South Asia and Africa. However the market for this kind of registration can extend to other industries as well. The mobile industry in these locations rapidly grows. This presented a significant opportunity for mobile technology to improve the means and efficiency by which birth data is collected, accessed, verified and stored.

I wasn't able to talk to users as they speak a different language
so I had to work through an interpreter. To make sure nothing gets lost in translation
and to ensure I can translate my understanding to another-language speaking remote team,
I have decided to draw storyboards that explain on high level what the process of registering looks like.
I strongly believe in following the best practices. For the long form that was important for this project, touched by different users at different times, I have researched several Design Systems, articles, case studies and websites to understand how to best organize the content, organize it into logical steps and optimize the long form. I set up rules for required and optional fields, inline form validation, unmasking passwords and other patterns.
I have started with few paper sketches and then translated them to wireframes in Axure. This allowed us to label fields, put similar content on individual pages and experience the flow of a form.
In final prototype in Adobe XD, I have focused on small interactive elements and animations to take the experience as close to the vision of a final product as possible.
The other important Admin section of the tool allowed super-users to create the birth records or any other future forms.
