Workshop on UX Design/ Usability

Organiser: Cluster IKT Berlin-Brandenburg

UX Design, the positive user experience of products and applications, is getting more and more in the spotlight. Products, especially IT-based solutions, are more successful if they consistently align their design to users' needs. A process-oriented design leads to a pragmatic quality, which makes the use in the professional environment more effective and efficient and unambiguous operating options help to avoid mistakes. An aesthetically pleasing design in turn motivates users to adopt new tools and to use them continuously. Both qualities taken together lead to a good user experience and thus to more successful products. The interactive workshop is intended to connect UX Designers with producers and users of health IT. It is organized by the ICT Cluster Berlin Brandenburg within the innovation field "Design & Usability".

In addition to technical and economic components, innovative product development requires a human-centered design process, especially in the healthcare environment. This takes into account the interaction between many involved stakeholders, such as: users (patients / professionals), developers, designers, risk managers, project managers, product owners, etc. In this first part of the workshop, you will learn how to use collaborative design thinking methods, in order to create a product vision. This vision can then become tangible and measurable prototype to get an idea of the user experience.
Speakers: Christoph Buckler and David Detzler, Ergosign GmbH

The working group "Medical Technology" of the German Usability Professional Association (GUPA e.V.) is organizing the other part of the workshop. The focus will be on the normative framework conditions that must be taken into account when developing medical technology products. For this purpose, these legal and regulatory framework conditions are introduced and explained, such as the IEC 62366: 2007 or IEC 62366-1: 2015. Best practice examples will be presented interactively with the participants, which will also discuss how additional added value can be generated from the regulatory requirements.
Speaker: Kay Behrenbruch, Benkana Interfaces GmbH & Co. KG and member of WG Medical Technology of GUPA e.V.
