Design on site,
for the people who care.

Columna Cura is Systematic’s health and care platform: the electronic citizen and care record used by municipal home care, nursing homes and the social sector. We placed a UI designer with Systematic as a consultant, working inside the Cura teams on screens care staff use every day.

The setup

A designer in the team, not a delivery from outside.

Systematic needed more UI design capacity close to the people building Cura. So our designer worked from Systematic’s office as a consultant, in their tools and their sprint rhythm, next to product owners, developers and domain experts with a background in care.

01

Embedded in the team

Stand-ups, refinement and demos with the Cura teams, so design decisions were made where the code was written.

02

In their design system

We worked in Systematic’s existing components and added what the new screens needed, instead of starting a parallel style.

03

Close to the domain

Fælles Sprog III, services under the Social Services Act and the reality of a home care shift shaped every screen.

04

From sketch to spec

Sketches, clickable prototypes and specifications with every state, so developers never had to guess.

The citizen record

Everything about Else, on one screen.

The overview is where a shift starts. Alerts sit next to the name, the conditions that matter most come first, and today’s visits are on the right. Click through the tabs.

All citizens, staff and data on this page are fictional.

Common language

A severity scale you can read in a second.

Danish municipalities describe a citizen’s health and function with Fælles Sprog III, on a scale from 0 to 4. We gave every level a colour, a number and a word, so it works in a busy list and without relying on colour alone.

The work

Three places where care staff meet Cura.

The record, the planning view and the mobile app are used by different people at different times of the day. We designed each of them for the moment it is used in, and let them share one structure, so care staff recognise it wherever they are.

01

The citizen record

An overview that starts the shift.

Before a visit, a carer has minutes, not hours, to understand a citizen. We reorganised the overview so alerts such as allergies and fall risk sit right next to the name, the conditions with the highest severity come first, and today’s visits and services are always in view.

The tabs for conditions, services, notes and measurements follow the same structure, so what you learn in one tab applies in the next. Measurements outside the normal range are marked with both colour and text, and tell the carer what to do next.

  • Alerts next to the name
  • The most severe conditions first
  • The same structure in every tab
02

Planning

Planning that shows the gap before it becomes a missed visit.

Home care planning changes all day: sick days, new citizens and visits that take longer than planned. When someone calls in sick at 06.45, the planner has to see the consequence at once.

We designed a planning view where visits without a carer move to their own lane, overlaps are marked instead of hidden, and a suggested plan hands the visits to colleagues with room. The planner stays in control and approves or adjusts the suggestion before it goes out.

  • Uncovered visits in their own lane
  • Overlaps marked, not hidden
  • Suggestions the planner approves
03

On the go

The visit, in the carer’s hand.

Out on the route, the phone has to work with one hand, in poor light and in the few minutes between two visits. So the day is shown as a route, with the next visit at the top.

One tap opens the visit with the alerts first, the tasks as a checklist and a note that goes straight into the record. When the visit is finished, the record is updated for the next colleague, without anyone having to type it in again at the office.

  • The day as a route
  • Tasks as a checklist
  • Notes straight into the record

What the client says

Ceptiv gave us a UI designer who became part of the Cura team from the very first sprint. He quickly understood a demanding domain, from Fælles Sprog III to the reality of a home care shift, and turned complex requirements into screens that are calm and clear for care staff under pressure. He worked in our design system and our rhythm, and his specifications were so thorough that our developers could build without guessing. It felt like having one of our own on the team. I can warmly recommend Ceptiv.
