Helping in the fight against COVID-19

meuDNA is a brazilian healthtech company that offers genetic testing focused on self-knowledge and health. It was founded in 2019 and is part of the Mendelics Group, a pioneer laboratory in DNA sequencing in Brazil.

Context

​The meuDNA COVID product was created during a very delicate moment of the pandemic, with the aim of preventing and reducing COVID-19 transmission by providing self-collection tests on digital platforms.

Challenge

Position myDNA as a reliable source of information and testing for COVID-19 during the pandemic, while also designing the product and service in a short timeframe to reach as many people as possible.​

Solution

Developed and launched a digital platform that empowers individuals to conveniently and safely access COVID-19 testing. The platform ensures secure result delivery and offers verified educational resources, strengthening the company’s credibility and public trust.

Process

From the outset, we brought together cross-functional teams around a shared objective. A well-defined design process was essential to enable an effective, phased, and scalable product development, structured as follows:
 

  • Defined business goals in collaboration with stakeholder;

  • Conducted user research to identify changes in habits, concerns, and preferences during the pandemic;

  • Used research insights to inform the design of meuDNA COVID, optimizing both digital and printed touchpoints;

  • Mapped the end-to-end user journey;

  • Defined key user tasks across purchase, sample collection, activation, test tracking, and results delivery.

This cross-functional process highlighted opportunities for improvement and streamlined team collaboration. Medium-fidelity wireframes and a navigable prototype were then developed to validate usability and functionality, ensuring a fast, safe, and user-centered testing experience.

​

The creation of the components was based on consistency, ease of use, and reproducibility, following the Design System.

Impact

The meuDNA COVID product was launched on schedule, reaching São Paulo within three months and contributing to the state’s COVID-19 mapping and control initiatives.​

​

Within two months of launch, distribution expanded across the Southeast through strategic pharmacy partnerships.

​

The operation currently has the capacity to perform over 110,000 tests per day, reinforcing large-scale prevention and care efforts.

​

Ongoing user feedback collection through NPS surveys and data monitoring ensures continuous improvement in performance and service quality.
