This session explores how poor design choices in healthcare systems can lead to serious — even life-threatening — consequences, and how applying user experience (UX) principles can prevent them. Attendees will learn to identify common usability issues such as cluttered interfaces, confusing navigation, and poor visual hierarchy, all of which can cause errors and delays in clinical environments. Through real-world examples and case studies, the talk will demonstrate how intentional, human-centered design can enhance patient safety, improve decision-making, and support healthcare professionals under pressure. Participants will gain practical guidance on how to apply UX best practices to create safer, clearer, and more effective digital solutions in healthcare — moving beyond aesthetics to design that truly saves lives.
