The UX Cycle of Excellence
Throughout their careers and at many milestones during, many UXers find themselves asking questions about how to evaluate and manage their careers and the trajectory of their skills and knowledge. No matter how a person entered the discipline, this has been proven to be a constant state of curiosity. In this talk, Darren will provide a practical and repeatable 7-step process to help guide you on how to approach, evaluate, grow, and manage your personal UX journey.
Design is key to owning the healthcare metaverse
What shape will the metaverse for the health industry ultimately take? Will it be an ever-expanding, sprawling virtual hospital? Or an infinite number of onscreen interactionsHi between patient and therapist? Will it be a restricted space or one of boundless possibilities? Nobody can predict exactly how this particular metaverse will look, feel and function, let alone how deeply current health industry players will be involved in it. However, one thing is for sure, ENNO Studio is confident we know how to design it. And we are happy to share the tools and skills needed to get your health company metaverse ready.
Collapsing the Iteration Loop: Empowering UX with No Code Tools
As UX designers, we’re constrained by dev time. Particularly, when working in low-resource settings. In partnership with a global consortium, we built the Sandbox to showcase digital health solutions and promote the reuse of existing tools. To stop countries reinventing the wheel and wasting these resources. From collaboration to approval to publishing, we did that with No Code tools and a “dev” team of one. No Code tooling allowed us to co-create and iterate a base solution while reducing our reliance on limited and costly dev time. This talk will highlight the opportunities and challenges with this approach.
Conversational AI for the support of clients, caregivers and health professionals
Technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics are leading the way for tomorrow’s healthcare. Conversational AI is one of the technologies that in the future will make the lives of clients, caregivers and healthcare workers easier. It is based on natural language processing and enables written or spoken interaction between humans and machines. This way, it can provide daily assistance to users. Especially in times when the labour market is shrinking and the demand for care is exploding, this may help to provide a solution. Let’s discover the opportunities.
Designing for Inclusiveness in Healthcare
The COVID-19 pandemic has redefined how healthcare services are delivered. There is a shift from in-person consultation and paper documentation to virtual consultation and electronic documentation. As a result, healthcare providers, patients, and clients, including many with a range of disabilities, have increased interactions with digital products. These products need to be designed with inclusivity in mind if healthcare companies want their products to offer delightful experiences to all customers. Doing so could translate to higher customer satisfaction and increased retention.

Realize Outcomes through User-Centred Design Operations: A Framework for improving user-centered design inspired by 7 years of enhancements at Novo Nordisk
As designers, we know achieving superior real world treatment outcomes requires more than just clinical results. We know that improving a person’s quality of life and fulfilling human needs are the forces which turn the barely-tolerable burden of medical management into something meaningful and integral to a person’s life.In this talk, the author details how the Novo Nordisk Devices and Delivery solutions team has continued to evolve its research and design operations over the 7 years with measurable results. The author introduces new or under-appreciated opportunities where experience design can evolve to shape more holistic treatment experiences. The talk concludes with a framework for using within healthcare organizations to evaluate their own journey in advancing human-centered design operations.
Designing for real, not ideal behaviour – The importance of UX in therapeutic software
Prescription digital therapeutics are still at an early stage. PDTs have the potential to improve the life of many patients living with chronic diseases, but designing PDTs comes with great responsibility. As designers, we are still learning how to design for critical use cases, prolonged use, and for how to design for trust in therapeutic software. In this session, we’ll share experiences from the design process in a diabetes care PDT project for a global pharma company.
