User Centered by Design

 In this episode, we discuss how to take your product strategy and scope and apply them to the design of your app. We talk about using navigation, information architecture, interaction design and visual design to make your strategy real.

This is the first of a two-episode series focusing on what to think about when making an app. In this episode, we discuss how strategy and project scope can be used as the foundation of a logic structure in developing an app. We share our experience on how you can use your user and business needs to build a solid foundation and set you up for later success. We reference the frameworks and diagrams in Chapter 2 of Jesse James Garrett's seminal user experience book, ‘The Elements of User Experience' throughout our discussion.

In this episode, we invite David Hibbard, Director of Programs at Sunrise Labs, to join us in a conversation about best practices for integrating User Centered Design and Agile methodology when developing medical devices. We also discuss successful approaches and our tips and tricks for making it work.

In this episode, we define User Centered Design, including the three major disciplines in a UCD team: UX / UI Design, Industrial Design, and Human Factors Engineering. We discuss how a combined structure like this can help organizations be more effective with a holistic approach to the user experience of your product.

 In this episode, we discuss tips that will enable you to work effectively with your (User Centered Design) UCD consultants. Medical device companies believe that UCD consultants - Human Factors Engineering, UX/UI Design, Industrial Design - offer significant value for their projects. However, many of these companies are not fully prepared to build a working relationship that leverages the UCD consultant's strengths and expertise. We dive into aspects of building a schedule that supports iterative design, fostering a collaborative relationship with your UCD consultants, how to be strategy focused and scaling project work. 

We are excited to share our expertise on how to remain User Centered when approaching medical product design. Don't miss the all-new podcast, User Centered by Design, hosted by the Sunrise Labs UCD team! Our first episode will launch January 7th, but you can subscribe now!
