The importance of people-led design in Digital Health

 

 

Guy Cooper, Managing Director of Wave Digital, an app development company in Melbourne, Australia joins eHealth Radio and the Health News and Technology Channels.

 

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Guy Cooper discuss the following:

1. Can you tell me a bit about yourself and your role at Wave Digital?
2. What’s your involvement in Australia’s digital health industry?
3. What is people-led design and why is it important?
4. Can you provide some practical examples of apps you have designed including the impact of a people-led design approach?
5. What is your advice to digital health startups looking to develop an app?

Tip: If you are thinking of developing an app, make sure you put time and energy into understanding the target audience for your product. The better you understand users frustrations, needs and fears, the more useful your product will be and therefore the more likely it will succeed.
