USER RESEARCH GUIDES

Created for Harvard Medical School Biodesign

ROLE

User Research Strategist

ABOUT

Proper techniques for conducting user research interviews are crucial to amassing quality data. As a user researcher, I find well-conducted semi-structured interviews excel at discvoering unmet needs and opportunities for product improvement.

OUTCOMES

Assessed physicians’ pain management practices for post-op joint replacement patients. Used data to propose a novel prescribing module platform.

 

In a digital world, the best user research is still supported by anthropological practices for cultural understanding and need-finding.

Products rooted in an understanding of people and community results in technology that facilitates meaningful connection.
