Turning research into insights
Conducting UX research (interviews, surveys, usability testing, etc) tends to leave you with lots and lots of raw, unfiltered, unstructured data. How do we sort through that data and turn it into usable insights, recommendations, and starting points for ideation?
Keynote: Adventures in Surgical UX

Can we chat? An introduction to designing chatbot user experiences
Making healthcare more accessible can mean adapting the ways that users get their healthcare information. Chatbots can be used to create more patient-friendly access points (like symptom checking and triage, insurance coverage checking, or bill pay) or for internal use, to have a secondary impact on patient experience. These conversational experiences must be designed with both the users’ needs and human language in mind. We’ll present some of the core considerations that designers should keep in mind when creating chatbots.
Improving Healthcare Environments through Human-Centered Design
Human-centered design is a problem-solving approach that puts people first. It’s widely used in the UX community, and many other fields also stand to benefit from it. Healthcare in particular has a tendency to focus heavily on technology and science, and often doesn’t consider the people interacting with systems or processes – doctors, nurses, patients, etc – enough when creating solutions. This talk will look at how different areas of healthcare can stand to benefit from human-centered design approaches, as well as examples that have been successful.
No Research, No Problem
In a perfect product development world, your team would have ample time and resources to take part in an iterative process with multiple rounds of formal research and design updates to ensure the product you’re creating will benefit your company and the product users. The reality of the world we live in, key business stakeholders want products created better and faster, for cheaper. At our UX consultancy, UEGroup, we’re confronted with this reality in almost every project we take on, and it’s our job to craft a process that works within our client’s budget and timeline while yielding the most valuable results. When working on medical products, the question for us becomes, “How do we make the most of limited resources and conduct research to ensure the design is still informed for this product and the next generation of products to deliver the best results to patients.
