For the past 2.5 years, it's been our pleasure to provide engaging UX solutions for customers across industries, with over 40 successful projects under our belt!

๐Ÿ‘‰ Umbrella UX is beyond excited to announce that from now on, we will focus exclusively on the MedTech and Healthcare industry.
With 20+ years of experience in the medical field, we're confident that this is where we can maximize value for our customers.

๐Ÿ‘‰ With Umbrella UX Healthcare, we bring you a new unique approach that combines usability risk management and an innovative design that enables you to create both safe and delightful products - without compromise!
Our talented team of experts combines their knowledge in human factors engineering (MDR, IVDR, IEC 62366-1, and FDA HFE Guidance) with creative design skills to guarantee results that incorporate the necessary safety requirements while providing an enjoyable, useful experience for your customers.

Testing with real users remains one of the most exciting and essential tasks in our field, especially in the healthcare environment. Direct interaction with users and potential customers allows us to take products to the next level. 

Recently, we were able to accompany a project from a British company developing a medical device and guide them in their first formative evaluation with real users. 

From these results, the project team was able to derive 40 improvements that are currently being worked on and make the product even safer and more attractive for their customers.

Isnโ€™t it fantastic to finally be doing user testing face-to-face again? ๐ŸŽ‰

After running purely online testing caused by covid, we were again able to conduct a face-to-face summative evaluation for a medical device. ๐Ÿ“Ÿ๐Ÿ‘€

Online testing is a good and quick way to gain insights, but nothing compares to observing users in โ€œreal lifeโ€, especially if it involves interacting with hardware!

When doing User Research, questions about ethics inevitably arise. Poor research practice and ignoring aspects of ethics
can have a negative impact on all parties involved in the study.

Here is the cheat sheet we use at Umbrella UX to help us behave ethically. It is especially helpful for studies on sensitive topics in the healthcare and MedTech sector but can be used in all areas.

Feel free to download and use it ๐Ÿ’

Contact us if you want to discuss the topic or need support with a study.

Thanks for the inspiring talks and discussions on trust and ethics in UX.

We hope you enjoyed our presentation on "User Research Ethik am Praxisbesipiel Healthcare" and that you were able to take away something for your practice.

For all of you who were not able to follow our talk on "User Research Ethics" at World Usability Day 2021, there is now a video recording of the talk available (in german).

Thanks again to everybody atย UX Schweizย for the organization and for inviting us!

Umbrella UX visited the Swiss MedTech Expo in Lucerne today.

We were very happy to have the opportunity to exchange and network face-to-face with other MedTech experts for the first time with our startup. It's much more enjoyable than doing it online ๐Ÿ™‚

Best regards to everyone we had the pleasure to meet today, and thank you for the interesting conversations!
