USER INTERFACE DESIGN

Heuristic evaluation will come up a lot in UX design – heuristic evaluation is used by UX designers to identify any usability issues within a device or product. To do this, usability testing experts will compare a product’s design to recognized usability principles – also known as heuristics. Once they encounter usability issues, they assign a severity rating to each one, enabling them to focus on each issue from most critical to least critical. Heuristic evaluation is important for delivering a high quality UX system to users, as it ultimately improves the usability of a product.

When designing a medical device, it is easy to overlook some aspects of the design process. Haptics are an example of one of the small but meaningful ways you can improve the usability of your product. Broadly speaking, haptic design focuses on the multisensory interaction between your product and the user by dictating the tactile response your product or device will provide. Haptics are largely used across our modern digital world, from phone vibrations to gaming applications. One of the main ways we interact with products is our hands – therefore, it makes sense to enrich your device with haptics that users will appreciate.
