WHAT WE DID

Research overview

5 of 34

Motus Nova wants to see an increase in form submissions on their website.

More Assessments = More Sales

Of all sales sources, 67.5%* are made by visitors filling out a form assessment on their website

10.6% of assessments turn into sales

However, only ~1.29% of visitors** of the Motus Nova website fill out an assessment

68.65% of traffic is on mobile*

Because the majority of traffic on Motus Nova is through mobile, we want to focus on improving the mobile experience, as opposed to desktop (27.33%) or tablet (4.02%).

Background

Research Objectives

  • Understand how users currently navigate the website on mobile
  • Identify UX blockers, if any, in filling out an assessment on mobile
  • Deliver data driven mobile high-fi designs to stakeholders

  • Moderated Usability Interview
  • Unmoderated Usability Test

Research approach - What we did

Research Scope

Moderated Usability Interview

The remote interviews were divided in two parts:

  1. Silent Observation: I silently observed while users were instructed to explore the website as they would if they were a caregiver to a stroke survivor, leaving positive or negative feedback when they wanted, as well as talking through their experience
  2. Feedback Discussion: I viewed the feedback given and notes taken during the interview to have a discussion on the why’s behind their thoughts

→ Limitation: Because I am watching users, they may feel like they have to behave in the “best” way opposed to what their real behavior would be

Research approach - What we did

Research Scope

Unmoderated Usability Test

Task based unmoderated usability test using the Hotjar’s Ask platform and panel. Participant’s main task:

  • Fill out feedback (circled in red) while navigating through website
    • Hotjar takes a screenshot of where user is when feedback is given

→ Limitation: I could not discuss any feedback with users

10 of 34

Participant Overview

99

Hotjar responses

There were 99 responses combined from moderated and unmoderated tests, averaging about 7 responses per participant

7

Moderated users

I interviewed 7 users for an average of 30 minutes

7

Unmoderated users

I was able to get 7 unmoderated participants, which was more than expected!

Usability findings

Usability Findings

❌ High impact issue or blocker - This issue prevents users from completing the task.

😐 Mid or low impact issue - Users are able to complete the task but they are limited in their ability to do so; confused or feel information is extraneous.

✔️ Good experience - No issue found. Users are able to complete achieve their goals with no issues or express liking something specifically.

The following slides are screenshots of the landing page. Feedback given are in sequential order to what a user would see on mobile.

Confusion of what the product is

“I had to scroll through all the pictures to understand that this was a device people had to get, but I then I thought you needed to download an app”

Landing Page: Hero Section

Usability findings

❌ Difficulty closing the tab

One user could not figure out how to close the tab, but she noticed that it closed by itself after a few seconds. Throughout the test, when the pop-up came, she waiting a few seconds for it to close so she could continue reading.

❌ Assessment Frustration

Moderated users (85%) voiced that the pop-ups were distracting

HOW MIGHT WE

Assessment Pop-Up Frustration

  • Moderated users (85%) voiced that the pop-ups were distracting*
  • In the silent observation, 85% closed out of the assessment immediately without commenting. When asked about it why they closed it so quickly, users noted it looked like a cookie pop-up or that it was felt like irrelevant (similar to pop-ups one might see on retail websites).
  • 28.5% of moderated users noted specifically a fear of filling out form assessments because of the potential of being spammed.

How might we change the placement of the assessment to feel natural, so a user would more likely fill it out?

DATA

*Although there were no unmoderated users that noted an assessment pop-up frustration, consider that the feedback button was obstructed when the assessment popped it. This might have caused users to believe the pop-up was not part of the usability test. Moderated users were able to voice out their frustration more easily.

** Source: Google Analytics, January 1, 2022 - January 30, 2022

Users spend on average 90 seconds** on our website, so every second is valuable. A major user frustration may prevent them from spending more time on the website.

HOW MIGHT WE

User Fatigue on Landing Page

Users (moderated + unmoderated) felt fatigued while navigating the landing page because of:

  • Information overload (28.5%)
  • Scrolling fatigue (28.5%)
  • Not understanding the product* (71%)

Interestingly, 57.1% of moderated users voiced they were tired when they saw the company timeline. Moreover, 35% of all users noted that the drop down FAQs were especially helpful because they felt more control on what to read.

How might we tell a succinct story on the landing page, so that it can alleviate user fatigue?

DATA

*Users later understood the product in a variety of ways. Some understood when they looked further down the website, some understood when exploring to other nav pages like the How It Works, Review, or Product page.

Information Overload and User Fatigue

Two landing pages with the same amount of information may have different perceptions because of how information is organized.

HOW MIGHT WE

Credibility could be strengthened

  • 43% of all users responded positively to the Motus Team Section
  • There were mixed reviews regarding the social media posts under the hero and Reviews page (28% pro vs 21% against).

The top reason for the social media posts was because it allowed users to see real users (built credibility). The top reason against the social media posts was because it looked curated (lacked credibility).

  • 75% of surveyors also noted that credibility was the top priority when looking at a medical device, compared to Social Proof and How It Works:

How might we build more credibility, so users trust the product more?

“I would [...] like to get a second opinion on something rather than just from the source. [...] It's just now [...] we're at the baseline and we're trying to build the credibility through getting other people's opinions.”

Prioritizing Themes

Summary

THEME PRIORITY

Assessment Pop-Up Frustration

How might we change the placement of the assessment to feel natural, so a user would more likely fill it out?

User Fatigue on Landing Page

How might we tell a succinct story on the landing page, so that it can alleviate user fatigue?

Credibility could be strengthened

How might we build more credibility, so users trust the product more?

PRIORITY RATIONALE

About ’s of Motus Nova’s sales are through assessments, so focusing on assessment UX should be top priority.

User fatigue on the landing page has a direct correlation on whether or not a user will fill out an assessment, so this should be the 2nd priority.

The third priority should be strengthening credibility, as it may influence priority 1 and 2.

Research Findings - Artifacts

Although I did not interview any stroke survivors, I did interview a few caretakers.

A stroke reduces the mobility in over half of of stroke survivors ages 65 and older. According to Google Analytics, about ~66% of users are 54 years old or younger, suggesting that these users might be caretakers looking into the product for a loved one.

Notes During Meeting

End of Presentation

Luke’s Suggestions:

-Find out frequency of Assessment Pop-Ups

- Find stat about assessment

- Flow of website: revision of the hero section

-Wendell: gif breakdown like Kickstarter, based on social media behaviors and how information is presented on mobile (more digestible)

- Who is this for? Section

Who is this for? Conditions, independence, demographics, time post stroke,

Social proof

Arjun suggestions:

  • Have specific points for assessment points pop-ups
  • Start on how it works gifs this week
