#HealthUX / How To Design a Mobile Health App

Imagine designing an app for a chronic condition like Type 2 diabetes. It can't just be a logbook; it must be a trusted, daily companion. This course teaches you how to design a solution that:

• Seamlessly integrates with devices (e.g., glucose monitors).
• Tracks key metrics (e.g., insulin dosages).
• Provides personalized guidance (e.g., nutrition, exercise nudges).
• Translates complex data into actionable, in-the-moment decisions.

This is the ultimate test of mHealth design—a test that requires a deep understanding of long-term engagement, data visualization, and clinical accuracy.

Upon completion, participants will be able to:

• Understand the mHealth Landscape: Including regulatory requirements and ethical considerations.
• Conduct Targeted User Research: Tailored to the unique needs of healthcare users.
• Apply Core UX/UI Principles: Design intuitive, accessible, and engaging health applications.
• Translate Clinical Needs: Convert medical requirements into practical, secure app features.
• Develop Information Architecture: Map the user journey with effective wireframes.
• Prototype & Validate: Create high-fidelity prototypes and conduct effective usability testing.
• Ensure Data Security & Privacy: Integrate best practices for handling sensitive information (HIPAA/GDPR compliance, etc.).

This training is ideal for UX/UI Designers, Product Managers, Business Analysts, and Researchers working on, or planning to work on, mobile applications in the healthcare, wellness, or life sciences industries.

• Basic familiarity with standard design software (e.g., Figma, Sketch).
• A foundational understanding of the product design process.
• No prior medical or clinical experience is required.

The global mHealth market is experiencing significant, rapid growth, projected to exceed $200 billion in the coming years (with some forecasts reaching $249B by 2032). Key drivers of this trend include the growing demand for remote patient monitoring (especially for chronic conditions and the aging population), the integration of AI/Machine Learning, and the widespread adoption of smartphones. Master the skills to capitalize on this expanding market.
