The Research User Experience and Design (RUED) core within College of Medicine Research Information Technology empowers faculty and clinician researchers to create digital products that improve clinical outcomes for patients, families and caregivers. We employ human-centered design strategies to ensure the finished product works for the people using it.
Partnering with researchers to understand their needs
Meeting with system users to discuss system preferences and their current challenges
Creating systems that work for the people using them
Evaluating usability, usefulness and desirability of the systems used in research
RUED involves potential users from the start of its design process. By employing sophisticated interview and testing techniques, we can pinpoint what people expect from a system and provide suggestions for how to make it better.
Before a single line of code is written, RUED seeks feedback on its designs. By creating prototypes that look and feel like using a real website or app, we can test them with people and make changes early on in the process, when it's quick and not costly to do so.
