Design Voices: mHealth and Medical Web App UI

Presenter: Bill Evans, IDSA

What kinds of medical information-oriented products will designers be working on in 5 years time, and how can we rise to the patient and clinician ‘engagement’ challenges? Based on years of FDA/EU regulated UI design experience, Bill Evans gives his predictions and recount 5 lessons from the device UI world to help designers understand and meet these challenges:

• Usability isn’t just can you use it, but WILL you use it.
• Data isn’t useful if it isn’t actionable.
• Sharing data—the practicalities and challenges beyond HIPAA concerns
• User testing from start to finish—what are the issues specific to this kind of usability challenge
• Small is beautiful—what kinds of rapid prototyping and small scale tests are likely to lead to success
