    Healthcare user experiences are at a crossroads. On one side is empowerment—the illumination of clear paths through confidence, knowledge, and control.

For patients who are navigating the world of digital healthcare, every interaction with a telehealth platform, a patient portal, or a wearable device can feel like a moment of decision.

    Healthcare user experiences require UX designers and developers to create user-friendly, efficient applications, software, or Web sites that meet users’ expectations. They must cater to many different patients, healthcare providers (HCPs), medical administrators, and caregivers.

    Moreover, when leveraging technology to improve the healthcare experience, it’s important to overcome the challenges that could hurt the user experience. For instance, making a mobile app stand out among 350,000 healthcare apps, or mHealth apps, requires overcoming the inefficiencies of outdated applications. Read More
