Search on Map
Managing product innovation based on user feedback and data analysis.
One of the goals of the Health Promotion Board is to encourage consistent participation in national programs that help people to inculcate a healthy living intrinsically.
​
The country of Singapore is recognised as a Blue Zone 2.0 where the government has devised strategic policies and programs that deliberately changed the busy modern eco-system to one that support longevity and quality of life.
The goal of this product innovation was to remove blockers pertaining to program discoverability. Filters was identified as the enabling feature based on usability test.
​
The nuances of a smooth filtering experience was achieved with an intuitive map view of upcoming events. This helped people plan their activities ahead and in coordination with group members.
Most awaited feature:

3. Secondary Research
A study on the interaction design of popular application showed how people search for places, food and stay, by location. A reference of Spotify was also noted to study interaction of overlay drawer component at the page bottom.
Search and Filter Tagging on the admin portal
To ensure quick turnaround of feature optimisation based on searched categories, a backend mechanism was devised to allow refinement of filter options based on data analysis.
Business users could now customise the filters for each program by manually making incremental updates or uploading a file in a specific format. This would show up in the user interface on the H365 application.
Shipped Product.
​
The shipped feature was modified to show location detail card by default instead of prioritised events for a location.
​
This ensured high performance due to faster loading and minimising backend calculations at page launch.
​
The event list would show up in chronological order on clicking the 'View events at location' button for each location.
