Summary
The World Usability Day Organization has aligned with UN Global Sustainability Development Goals. This year’s theme for the 2022 World Usability Day is focused on issues of Healthcare, quality and accessibility – specifically UN SDG #3 ‘Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages’. As is true in all industries, the healthcare industry is undergoing continuous digital transformation accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end the Rosenfeld Media DesignOps curation team along Jon Fukuda and Ellie Krysl of Limina have put together a discussion panel with health care DesignOps, Product and UX Designers to discuss Healthcare related DesignOps challenges, opportunities, and innovations to support usability and accessibility in the industry.
