A Framework for Memberships on Amazon

AMAZON + ONE MEDICAL

Amazon Memberships Framework

Background

To expand access to high-quality healthcare, Amazon acquired One Medical in February 2023. This acquisition created the need for Amazon customers to seamlessly find, purchase, and manage One Medical memberships on Amazon.com and in the Amazon app. Additionally, the framework needed to be adaptable for future integrations with other health memberships and subscriptions.

Role

Lead Sr. UX Designer – Amazon Health

Collaborated closely with a Sr. PM, Engineering, Legal, and Brand & Marketing across two teams (Amazon & One Medical).

Timeline

August 2023 – January 2024 Launched

Customer Problem

Themes & Patterns

1
Management of Amazon’s Memberships

Memberships on Amazon like Prime and Audible follow a consistent hierarchy and treatment of content.

2
Purchasing Products

Amazon has several different checkout flows; including Buy Now, Amazon Pharmacy Checkout, Amazon Fresh Checkout, and more.

UX Research

What Inspires

To help define the ideal user experience, I also examined relevant off-Amazon experiences. I identified examples of intuitive design and inspiring interaction and UI patterns that could be adapted for the membership framework.

Checkouts that keep customers within experience, providing an ability for continued engagement post purchase.

Additional Suggestions

Common ways of demonstrating value of memberships include offering an ability to try it free or discounted for a period of time as well as gifting memberships.

Guiding Tenets for One Medical memberships on Amazon

UX tenets keep the team focused on what matters most to customers, serving as a shared compass to guide design decisions and create a more seamless experience.

Noodle Following Tenets

Establishing Tenets

I led a workshop with key stakeholders to draft UX tenets, gathering diverse perspectives and fostering alignment. This collaborative approach established clear guiding principles and a strong foundation for the project.

Our Tenets

1

Prioritize Speed, Not Urgency

A fast path to care is key, but customers should have enough context to feel confident before committing.

2

Be Clear, Not Just Simple

Language should be clear, concise, and customer friendly.

3

Easy, But Secure

We must balance convenience with privacy and meet security requirements of health information.

4

Build for Today & Tomorrow

We optimize for One Medical now, but design a flexible system that supports future health memberships and services.

5

Respect Healthcare Expectations

The experience should feel familiar within Amazon, but we must adapt to healthcare’s unique trust, privacy, and compliance needs.

Design

Mapping The Experience

I created low-fidelity flows to explore where purchase and enrollment should occur—on Amazon or One Medical—evaluating trade-offs to help define our MVP for launch. A recommended flow was agreed upon by the team based on the customer experience and technical feasibility.

Easily and quickly get care

Learn about the membership to make a confident purchase choice

Seemless purchase to setup flow
