Doctor Wallet gives GPs real-time visibility over their income. Designed to reconcile patient fees, track transactions, and simplify credential sharing, it helps doctors stay in control of their earnings across multiple practices. For a profession dealing with financial ambiguity and fragmented systems, Doctor Wallet brings much-needed clarity and peace of mind.

Objectives

  • Product Design: Create an intuitive mobile experience that allows GPs to track earnings and reconcile fees with confidence.

  • Brand Identity: Establish a clear, trustworthy visual identity that reflects professionalism and security.

  • Tech Integration: Seamlessly connect with existing desktop software to streamline reconciliation for both doctors and practice managers.

  • Design System: Build a scalable design language system to support long-term growth across platforms.

Challenges

  • GPs struggle with limited visibility into how and when they are paid.

  • Non-MBS payments like parking or supervision are often ambiguous or undocumented.

  • There is no clear evidence of when patients or third parties pay fees.

  • Payments from third parties can be delayed by weeks.

  • Reporting earnings to the ATO is complex for GPs working across multiple practices.

Approach

1. Human-Centred Discovery

We began with deep discovery, including user journey mapping and interviews to understand the core pain points GPs face around income tracking, billing delays, and financial reporting.

2. Rapid Prototyping

We tested early concepts with GPs and other healthcare professionals to validate ideas quickly and ensure the product matched real-world workflows and expectations.

3. Technology Collaboration

Working closely with partners, we co-developed the solution architecture to integrate securely with payment systems and practice software, enabling safe and accurate data syncs.

4. Cross-Functional Delivery

Using a squad model, we collaborated with Surgical Partners to uplift their SaaS platform while simultaneously designing and building Doctor Wallet as a complementary mobile experience.

Solution

  • See real-time income across multiple practices
