Medical UX Designer
Medical UX designers work on the interfaces that clinicians, patients and healthcare administrators use every day — from hospital information systems and teleconsultation apps to diagnostic device screens and patient portals. It is a specialisation within product design, and it carries regulatory obligations that general UX work does not.
