Paul’s article highlights the key factors contributing to the growing importance of UX design, in the context of a broader ‘digital healthcare revolution’. Paul said: “When I moved into medical device design back in the early 2000s, the focus was on developing technically robust products that were rigorously tested to ensure they’d survive their intended lifecycle… More recently, though, there has been a significant shift in focus to user experience – UX in the broadest sense.”
