Have you seen the wall?
Have you seen ‘the wall?’ We see the wall frequently. It’s a common moment on our visits to clinics and hospitals and other sites of care. On our research visits, Helpfully often begins our field work with a tour around healthcare facilities and we observe key moments in how patients and professionals navigate the spaces and get things done. What happens when? Where does a person go next? What’s ‘on stage’ and ‘behind the scenes’? Sometimes, we already know some of the pain points or a breakpoint in the patient journey. In other cases we get more latitude to explore and discover breakpoints.

Drones, driverless cars, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will seamlessly coordinate and transport goods and people for very little cost. The demands for faster, more efficient commuting options are driving the development of flying taxis for urban areas.

Design Artifacts Beyond the UI Controls
Digital product design often falls quickly into the design of UI controls. Teams sometimes default to the most visible and most salient part of a system, the user interface — text, icons, buttons, form fields, and scrolling panels that make up a digital experience.
