Clinicians reviewing a tablet in a hospital hallway

Healthcare

UX research for patient portals, EHR, care coordination, and the digital tools clinicians, caregivers, and patients depend on.

Research shaped by the work.

Study the work of care, not just the screen. Contextual inquiry, task analysis, usability evaluation, and service blueprints reveal documentation burden, handoff gaps, and adoption barriers.

  • ONC Safety-Enhanced Design where applicable
  • NIST-aligned clinical-system reporting where applicable

Healthcare UX is scoped to the system and its users. Clinical-system research does not automatically require a medical-device regulatory submission.
