Introduction

Ashmita, CEO of Code Blue AI, grew up watching her grandfather lose his speech and identity after multiple strokes. Years later, her father showed similar symptoms—and even knowing the risks, he delayed treatment. This fear led her to create Code Blue AI, an AI-powered device that detects early stroke symptoms and alerts emergency services. When Code Blue approached me for their website redesign, the challenge was clear: how do we build trust in a life-saving AI device and drive more patients and caregivers to sign up?

The Challenge

Business problem

  • Code Blue AI needed a professional, trust-building website to drive direct-to-consumer (D2C) adoption of their AI stroke detection device.
  • Current website was described as a “graphic design mess” with unclear goals, vague CTAs, and inconsistent user journeys.

User problem

  • Patients and caregivers struggled to understand how the technology worked and whether it was trustworthy.
  • Insurers needed clear evidence (FDA clearance, HIPAA compliance, accuracy) to recommend adoption.

Research & Insights

Methods

  • Heuristic evaluation
  • Content audit
  • Stakeholder interview(initial client call)

Key problems identified

  • ❌ Inconsistent UX and navigation
  • ❌ Vague CTA language (e.g., “Pre-order the technology”)
  • ❌ Missing Help/FAQ and support channels
  • ❌ Inaccessible videos and images
  • ❌ No separation between patients/caregivers and insurers journeys
  • ❌ Weak trust signals (no awards, recognitions, or testimonials shown)

Design Goals

  1. Create a clean, modern, professional D2C website.
  2. Build trust and safety in an AI-powered health device.
  3. Clarify and separate B2B vs. D2C user flows.
  4. Improve content structure, readability, and accessibility.
  5. Drive conversions with clear, action-driven CTAs.

“I signed up for Code Blue to monitor my grandfather’s stroke monitoring. I was skeptical about using AI for monitoring but Code Blue feels trustworthy.”
