A refresh look for the Anthem: Smarthelp dashboard
Anthem: Smarthelp dashboard project (2022)
Anthem: Smarthelp is a platform for associates leveraging data democracy, cognitive insights and Innovative AI / ML enabling best-in-class constituent experience.
Why redesign?
Anthem is updating the Smarthelp application, which prompted a redesign of their dashboard. The rationale for the project included:
- The import web application app locations are below the fold-line and hard to fine at first glance
- Smarthelp demo videos and about documents are outdated
- Remove unnecessary widgets
- No step-by-step onboarding process for new Smarthelp application users
My role
I worked with the ux director, project manager and development team. I focused on:
- Information architecture
- Low- and high-fidelity wireframes
- Design mock-ups
- Prototyping
Problems that needed to be solved
- A step-by-step onboarding process for new users within the Smarthelp application
- Organizing customized dashboards for users, from Anthem help agents, administrators to department managers
Platform
Internal web application
Information architecture
To help me organize and drive my designs forward, I laid out a user flow for the new Smarthelp application dashboards moving forward. I concentrated on:
- Creating an onboarding process for brand new users within the Smarthelp application
- A more organized dashboard to alleviate confusion

Wireframes
Before laying out my design mock-ups, I started sketching out my ideas on paper for these Smarthelp dashboard projects.
My notes and sketches

Design mock-ups
After putting down my ideas and notes on paper, I moved forward with creating high-fidelity mock-ups for the onboarding, help desk agents, administrators and department manager dashboards.
