The challenge
When an incident happens, customers are often stressed and need immediate guidance. Traditional insurance journeys demand too many steps and expose unfamiliar language at exactly the wrong time.
A user-centric mobile application for policyholders. The creation process focused on accessibility and quick access to emergency services. High-fidelity prototyping was used to test the one-tap claim feature, ensuring a calm experience during critical moments.
The project focused on the most emotionally demanding moment in the insurance journey: reporting an incident. The goal was to reduce uncertainty, guide customers safely and make claim status understandable after submission.
When an incident happens, customers are often stressed and need immediate guidance. Traditional insurance journeys demand too many steps and expose unfamiliar language at exactly the wrong time.
The mobile-first flow prioritizes emergency actions, policy essentials and a guided claim experience. Strong hierarchy, accessible controls and reassuring feedback help users understand what to do next.
The result is a more human insurance experience that shortens the path to assistance and gives policyholders greater confidence during high-pressure moments.
7 customer interviews, claims-call listening, journey mapping and an accessibility review against WCAG interaction patterns.
Customers feared making a mistake that could invalidate their claim. They needed reassurance, a sense of progress and the ability to pause without losing information.
Create a guided claim flow that collects only what is necessary at each moment and makes recovery explicit.
The flow first checks whether everyone is safe and surfaces emergency contacts before asking for policy or incident details.
Every step is preserved locally and synchronized when connectivity returns, reducing anxiety around interruptions.
Claim states explain what is happening, who is responsible and the expected next step rather than using internal insurance codes.
Two test rounds included 10 participants, with keyboard, screen-reader and low-vision checks. The flow was reduced from 11 to 7 steps after users struggled to understand which photos and documents were required.
In stressful journeys, clarity is a feature and reassurance is part of usability. My next step would be field testing in low-connectivity conditions and co-design sessions with people who use assistive technologies.
