Infectious Disease Society of America: Redesign for the future

Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) has long stood at the forefront of infectious disease research, clinical guidance, and advocacy. With a growing membership of over 13,000 infectious disease physicians and scientists, IDSA recognizes the need for a modern, intuitive, and data-driven digital ecosystem that keeps pace with global health challenges and opportunities.

In a world transformed by global health crises and digital revolution, there is no standing still. That is why the IDSA, the HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA), and the IDSA Foundation worked with BlueBolt on a massive transformation of their digital presence to reflect the forward momentum and mission-focused work every day.

Since their inception, these three connected groups have led the fight against infectious disease science, care, and advocacy. Now, they are looking inward, investing collectively in reimagining how they interact with members, supporters, and the public at large at each digital touchpoint.

IDSA Project Highlights

Comprehensive Discovery

BlueBolt kicked off with an in-depth discovery process, bringing together stakeholders from each organization. Through collaborative workshops, stakeholder interviews, and content audits, we mapped out current pain points, user needs, and future aspirations.

New Branding, New Design

We reimagined the architecture across all three sites, focusing on simplicity, clarity, and a streamlined user journey. The design team infused each site with modern, bold visuals—while preserving the individuality of each brand.

Implementation for Content Authors

The backend was restructured for better content governance, allowing editorial teams to update and manage content with ease. Training sessions and documentation equipped internal teams to manage the sites independently post-launch.

Post Support and Maintenance

We continue to serve as a strategic digital partner through ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and optimization. This long-term relationship allows IDSA, HIVMA, and the IDSA Foundation to focus on what they do best—advancing research, policy, and care—while BlueBolt ensures their digital foundation remains strong and future-ready.

BlueBolt partnered with the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), the HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA), and the IDSA Foundation to revamp their digital presence, aiming to enhance user experience, accessibility, and engagement across their platforms.

Through strategic planning and user-centered design, BlueBolt successfully transformed the digital platforms of IDSA, HIVMA, and the IDSA Foundation, enhancing their ability to serve members and advance their missions in the fight against infectious diseases.

A Smarter, More Connected Future

Together, IDSA, HIVMA, the IDSA Foundation and BlueBolt built new websites and a stronger digital infrastructure for the future of infectious disease care and collaboration. Their redesigns reflect a broader vision: to lead with science, serve with compassion, and scale with strategy.

With a focus on accessibility, clarity, and innovation, this transformation empowered these organizations to:

- Reach broader audiences
- Strengthen advocacy
- Attract the next generation of infectious disease specialists
- Elevate fundraising and community engagement

In the fight against today’s most pressing health threats, a cohesive digital strategy is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. The IDSA, HIVMA, and the IDSA Foundation didn’t just redesign their websites. They’re reshaping how science, compassion, and action connect in the 21st century.
