  1. @uxjam The Collision of Data & Empathy in Healthcare Jamie

    Thomson, Experience Design Director, Mad*Pow Boston Young Healthcare Professionals Conference – Oct 31, 2015 @uxjam
  2. @uxjam Why empathy? the capacity to understand or feel what

    another person is experiencing from within the other person's frame of reference, i.e., the capacity to place oneself in another's position. PART 1 Bellet & Maloney via Wikipedia
  3. @uxjam There is nothing soft about it. Empathy is a

    hard skill that should be required from the board-room to the shop floor.” “ Belinda Parmar

  5. @uxjam What we made had to fit into the contours

    of their lives, their emotional states, and their conversations…” “ Andrew Hinton
  6. @uxjam TYPE FOCUS Market research Who’s our audience in terms

    of demographics? What are they interested in and able to purchase? Are they aware of our brand? Formative experience research Who’s our audience in terms of behavior & knowledge? What are their goals, motivations, feelings, challenges, environments, tools, and workflows? What opportunities are there for us to make their lives better? Evaluative experience research How well does this work for our audience? How do they feel while using it? What can we improve? Which option should we choose? Ongoing experience research How are people using our product/service? Are there small tweaks we should make ASAP to alleviate frustration? What should we focus on next time we make major changes? Clinical trials Is this statistically effective and safe? What questions are you trying to answer?
  7. @uxjam Quantitative Used to identify and measure patterns in thinking

    and behavior among groups of people. Qualitative Used to gather deeper information on individuals’ thinking, feeling, and motivations.
  8. @uxjam Ongoing Intercept surveys, feedback bucket, analytics, customer service logs,

    social… Stages of experience research Evaluative Usability studies, secret shopping, A/B testing, eye tracking, desirability studies, tree tests… Formative Interviews, ethnography, contextual inquiry, diary studies, surveys, focus groups, collaging, card sorts…
  9. @uxjam What someone says they do or think Discovered by:

    Interviews, Surveys What someone really thinks and feels Discovered by: Meaningful human connections and conversations, and/or good moderation skills & tactics What someone actually does Discovered by: Observation, Analytics
  10. @uxjam ê Ask open-ended questions starting with Who, What, When,

    Where, How and Why. ê Avoid leading questions that limit or hint at a desired answer, ex: “Do you like this?” vs “How do you feel about this?” ê Encourage people to talk more: “Tell me more about that…” ê Be quiet and listen. Let them do almost all of the talking. Try not to cut them off. ê Resist the urge to come up with ideas on how to solve the problems. ê Consider asking how they think the problem might be solved, but don’t take it as a command – use it as a jumping off point. Moderating Tips
  11. @uxjam Laddering (5 Why’s) & Jobs To Be Done ACTIVITY

    1. Find a partner, and decide who will be moderator / participant. 2. As a participant, pick a product or service you use regularly and tell the moderator the name of it 3. As a moderator, use the 5 Why’s technique to dig as deep as you can toward their values. Why did / do you …? And why is that…? Why do you think that is…? Why does that matter…? Why is that important…? 4. Discuss any “Jobs To Be Done” and other insights – any business or design opportunities beyond the current offering? 5. Switch roles & repeat
  12. @uxjam Typical Usability Study Results Positive: Users were able to

    find the “Buy Now” button. 3 out of 8 participants mentioned that the picture had no relevance to them. Consider: replacing this with an infographic or another picture that may draw in users. 6 out of 8 participants mentioned that the text in the buttons was hard to read. Consider: increasing the contrast of the text to ease readability.

  14. @uxjam I chose my specialty of Family Medicine because I

    love interacting with people and finding new connections and insights with them into their health and well-being… I love my patients, care deeply for them, and strive daily to provide them excellent opportunities for medical care. I thought I'd love EHRs … I thought all the physicians who didn't like EHRs were doctors who were technology-averse. But, as I struggle to work around my 2nd EHR in as many years and look toward an impending switch to yet another EHR next year, I feel that I am typing my way into burnout. Instead of spending my days listening to patients and solving their problems, I feel that I spend most of my time struggling to make unique stories and needs fit into an arcane system of clicks and drop-down menus. Instead of discussing lab results and how to make better lifestyle choices to improve them, I find myself scrolling through pages of useless lab addendums and out- of-date patient handouts in our system. And instead of spending my time meaningfully teaching my staff about medical decision making and triage, I help them find the right button to click. … Physicians feel helpless in the tsunami of EHR changes, none of which seem to be helping patient care or physician time management. There is no quicker way to frustrate professionals than to implement an unwieldy, inadequate tool that prevents a smart, capable person from doing their job correctly. “ Laura Knudson
