Psychological research shows that simple experiences are more pleasurable, more intelligent and safer. Simplicity also affects the way we make decisions and our health by reducing stress and adrenaline. While medical treatments have become better and more effective, the healthcare system has become overly complex and stressful for patients. But the maturing field of UX design and advances in conversational interfaces and machine learning can change all that. Using methods in empathic design, UX designers can create healthcare experiences that allow patients to interact with complex systems in ways that are more more simple and more humane. This has the potential to deliver tremendous benefits to both patients and medical providers, revolutionizing our healthcare system.
