To begin this brief we have been tasked to create our very own brief aimed at finding a solution to improve healthcare.
I will begin by asking myself what is UX in healthcare and how can it improve so many lives?
UX in healthcare is about how people use healthcare services and tools. By making these things easy to use and helpful, UX can make healthcare better. It helps patients have a better experience, helps doctors work together better, lets patients get care that's just right for them, gives patients more control over their health, and can even save money. UX in healthcare is all about making healthcare easier and better for everyone involved.
The Headspace app stands out in the world of meditation apps because it's all about making meditation easy and personalised. Its design is super easy to use, and it feels like the app knows exactly what you need, suggesting meditation sessions that fit your preferences perfectly. What's great is that it makes meditating feel like a game with features like tracking your progress and rewarding you for consistency. It's so convenient since you can meditate whenever you want, no matter where you are. The soft colour palette used is also welcoming and plays with words, reflecting the calming element into the overall appearance.
Medical wearables show how UX design helps in healthcare. They focus on what people need and make health tracking easier. These gadgets give personal health information, which helps users make better choices for their health and promote good habits. They also offer remote check-ups and telemedicine, letting doctors give more personal and quick care. By always checking important health signs and how active a person is, these devices help catch and prevent health problems early.
Virtual reality is revolutionising medical training and healthcare in various ways. Surgeons can practice complex procedures in realistic 3D environments, reducing risks for patients. VR also simulates emergencies, helping students react confidently in real-life situations.
It offers interactive education on anatomy, pharmacology, and patient care, improving understanding and decision-making. It reduces human error by providing realistic simulations for emergency practice promoting safer care. VR is also used for in depth therapy sessions. It will become the future of medical equipment and it a game changer.
