    • Create and maintain scalable design systems and style guides tailored to healthcare applications, ensuring consistency across mobile (iOS SwiftUI, Android Material Design), web, and wearable interfaces.
    • Design intuitive interfaces for complex healthcare workflows, such as telemedicine, patient monitoring, electronic health record (EHR) integration, or medication management.
  • Healthcare-Specific Design:
    • Conduct user research with patients, clinicians, and caregivers to understand unique needs, pain points, and health literacy challenges.
    • Design for sensitive data handling, ensuring privacy, security, and trust are embedded in the user experience.
    • Ensure compliance with healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA, FDA guidelines for Software as a Medical Device) and accessibility standards to support users with disabilities.
    • Incorporate clinical accuracy and evidence-based design, collaborating with medical experts to validate content and workflows.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration:
    • Partner with product managers, engineers, clinical advisors, and compliance teams to align design with technical feasibility, regulatory requirements, and business goals.
    • Work with data teams to leverage health analytics (e.g., patient engagement metrics, adherence rates) to iterate and optimize designs.
    • Present design strategies and outcomes to executives, stakeholders, and healthcare partners, articulating how design drives user trust and health outcomes.
  • Innovation & Trends:
    • Stay ahead of digital health trends, such as AI-driven diagnostics, remote patient monitoring, wearables, or voice-based health interfaces.
    • Drive innovation by exploring new design paradigms, such as conversational UI for health chatbots or AR for patient education.
    • Conduct competitive analysis of digital health apps to identify opportunities for differentiation and improved user experiences.
  • Operational Excellence:
    • Manage design budgets, project timelines, and resources to deliver high-quality designs on schedule.
    • Implement tools (e.g., Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD) and workflows to streamline design-to-development handoff, ensuring accurate implementation of healthcare-specific designs.
    • Measure design impact through metrics like patient engagement, provider adoption, and clinical outcome improvements.

  • 4+ years of experience designing digital health apps, such as telemedicine platforms, patient portals, health tracking apps, or EHR interfaces, with measurable impact (e.g., increased patient engagement, adherence, or provider efficiency).
  • Proven track record of leading design teams in agile environments, ideally within healthtech, medtech, or related industries.
  • Expertise in UX/UI design, user research, and design systems, with proficiency in tools like Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, or similar.
