Artifact Conjecture Mapping

Universal Screeening Initiative Prototype

This week, we were asked to create a conjecture map of the design artifact of our choice. Conjecture maps are a designer's way of organizing the different elements of the design layout of a project to better enhance the salient aspects of the environment to which they're addressing the need for the design.

Since my design artifact is a website for sharing patient-sensitive information, there were some major considerations, such as the HIPAA privacy law as well as the need for universal and USEFUL forms which any entity participating in the website can use in their line of work.

This conjecture map shows the basic thought-process I had while creating this artifact. It is fairly simple, but since the artifact itself is still in the early stages of development, and will remain a prototype for quite some time, I know this map will continue to grow and expand upon the various obstacles and/or needs.

Below is a video explaining my design artifact in more detail, as well as talking about the conjecture map I created for the project.

Let me know what you think!
