Healthcare UX: Design for Patient Engagement and Technology Adoption

The World Health Organization predicts a global shortage of 10 million healthcare workers by 2030. Innovative healthcare technologies could bridge this gap, but how can we design solutions that engage patients and drive adoption?

To succeed, we must deeply understand users, empathize with their challenges, and apply structured frameworks to inform design decisions.

In this Master Class webinar, Catarina Santos, UX Researcher/Designer and former GP, will explore how to design with empathy, effectively engage patients, and create solutions that drive technology adoption, drawing on insights from her MSc research on hypertension self-monitoring.

You’ll learn:

  • Why patient engagement is critical to healthcare UX and how to design for it.
  • Identify the barriers to healthcare technology adoption.
  • Frameworks derived from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to help guide your designs.

If you aim to design healthcare tools that resonate with users, then this Master Class is for you. You’ll gain actionable insights that you can apply right away to improve your projects and outcomes.

Even if you can't attend live, register to gain access to a recording that you can watch at any time after the broadcast.

Design to Delight Every Generation: From Gen Z to Boomers

Over 70% of Gen Z consumers prefer products that prioritize diversity and inclusion. As global demographics continue to evolve, products that cater to diverse user groups today are better positioned to thrive in the future. Yet, many products still aim for a "universal" solution to appeal to the widest audience possible. Unfortunately, this one-size-fits-all approach often results in a diluted experience that fails to meet the needs of any specific group.

In this one-hour Master Class webinar, Vitaly Friedman, Creative Lead at Smashing Magazine and UX Designer for the European Parliament, will show you how to move beyond the pitfalls of overgeneralization, assumptions, biases, and stereotypes. Learn from real-life examples how to design with effective customization in mind, and offer experiences that resonate deeply with diverse user groups.

You’ll learn:

  • How to navigate the complexities of design for children and teenagers.
  • Adapt products for Gen Z, tailoring both content and design.
  • Address the needs of older adults in your designs.
  • Support users in high-stress scenarios to minimize errors.
  • Create inclusive designs for neurodivergent users.

If you want to successfully design for diverse user groups, then this Master Class is for you. Whether you’re a seasoned designer or just starting out, you’ll learn actionable strategies to move beyond assumptions and learn design patterns and UX guidelines you can implement in your work right away. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your UX game and design with inclusivity at its core!
