What Does Your Healthcare Product
Need Right Now?

Whether you are launching a new healthcare product, modernizing an established platform, or trying to fix a workflow that frustrates patients and providers, the right engagement starts with the problem your product team needs solved now. We help healthcare organizations turn complicated requirements and clinical workflows into clearer, more usable digital experiences.

Design a New Healthcare Product

Turn an early concept, requirements document, clinical workflow, or working prototype into a clear product experience ready for development, testing, funding, or launch.

Redesign an Existing Healthtech Platform

Modernize a healthcare product that works technically but feels outdated, inconsistent, difficult to navigate, or no longer capable of supporting its users and roadmap.

Modernize a Legacy Clinical Interface

Improve clarity, speed, and visual organization without disrupting the familiar workflows clinicians, administrators, and operational teams depend on every day.

Improve Patient Onboarding and Intake

Simplify registration, insurance information, consent, medical-history collection, forms, scheduling, and account setup so patients can complete necessary steps with less confusion.

Simplify Provider Workflows

Reduce unnecessary steps across chart review, documentation, referrals, approvals, care coordination, and administrative tasks so providers can focus on the work that matters.

Redesign Clinical Dashboards

Engagement Models

Two Ways to Work With Us

Some healthcare organizations need a complete product-design engagement. Others need experienced UI/UX support integrated into an active product roadmap. We offer both, so the engagement can match the scope, pace, and stage of your healthcare product.

Full Engagement

Complete Healthcare Product Engagement

Best suited for new healthcare products, major platform redesigns, legacy modernization initiatives, complex clinical workflows, and complete design-system engagements. We guide the product from discovery and early concepts through high-fidelity UI/UX design, interactive prototypes, reusable components, and developer-ready source files.

Ongoing Support

Fractional Healthcare Design Support

Best for ongoing feature design, clinical workflow improvements, patient and provider experiences, healthcare AI integration, UX debt, design-system maintenance, and product teams that need experienced design support without another full-time hire. Our fractional engagement begins with a 40-hour monthly block, and priorities can shift as your roadmap evolves.

Designed Around the Moments
Where Healthcare UX Has Real Consequences

In healthcare and healthtech, poor UX does more than frustrate users. It slows teams down, introduces avoidable errors, creates administrative burden, and makes already complex workflows harder to manage. We design around the moments where clarity, safety, efficiency, and trust matter most.

Clinical Decisions and Patient Safety

Key information, status changes, and next-step actions need to be easy to find and hard to misread when clinicians are working quickly.

Patient Comprehension and Task Completion

Whether the user is scheduling care, reviewing information, or completing a form, the experience has to feel understandable, guided, and trustworthy.

Accessibility, Trust, and Error Prevention

Healthcare interfaces need to be inclusive, readable, and resilient, with strong hierarchy, clear confirmations, and safeguards that help prevent mistakes.

Provider Efficiency and Administrative Burden

We reduce extra clicks, repetitive tasks, unclear states, and navigation friction so providers and staff can move through work with less overhead.

Dense Medical Data and Complex Workflows

We organize dense datasets, layered workflows, and multi-role systems so the interface supports decision-making instead of adding cognitive load.

AI Recommendations and Human Judgment

When AI enters the workflow, clinicians and staff still need visibility, context, and control so recommendations support human judgment rather than obscure it.

Practitioner Perspectives

The Methodology Behind the Work

We do not believe in black-box design. Our approach to healthcare UI/UX is informed by more than 25 years of designing complex, trust-critical software across healthcare, fintech, cybersecurity, SaaS, and enterprise platforms. These articles are not generic marketing content. They share the strategic frameworks, UX principles, design-system thinking, and practical methods we apply to active client work. We publish them without gates because the best way to demonstrate expertise is to show how we approach difficult product-design problems.

Healthtech UI/UX design: why bad design decisions in healthcare have real consequences | The Skins Factory

Featured Article · 14 min read

Healthtech UI/UX Design: Bad Design Decisions Have Real Consequences

There is a version of bad design that costs a company a customer. There is another version that can feasibly cost a patient their health. In healthcare, you are frequently designing for the second scenario.

After decades of designing healthcare software across a radiologist marketplace, a nursing discharge application, a hospital pharmacy inventory system, a 340B management platform, and multiple patient-facing portals, we have seen healthcare UI from both sides of the exam table. This is what separates the products that work from the ones that fail.

From the Article

How should visual hierarchy work in a clinical dashboard?

In a clinical dashboard, what gets surfaced first is not a UX preference. It is a medical priority. Alerts before status, exceptions before routine, critical values before normal ranges. Every layer of the visual hierarchy has to reflect clinical logic rather than aesthetic convention. Getting it wrong does more than create a poor experience. It creates the conditions for error, because a fatigued clinician acts on what the interface emphasizes first.

Why do error states need more care in healthcare software than in other products?

In most software, an error state is a minor inconvenience. In healthcare, an error state often means something went wrong with a patient's care. A failed medication reconciliation is not the same as a failed form submission, and the interface should not treat them the same way. The copy, the visual treatment, and the recovery path all have to reflect the seriousness of the context, so the user understands what actually happened and what to do next.

Is plain language in patient-facing design just dumbing it down?

No. Medical terminology is precise and efficient for clinical communication, but it is opaque and frightening for patients. Moving to plain language is not a concession to a less sophisticated audience. It is an acknowledgment that clinical language and patient language are two different tools for the same goal. A discharge summary a patient actually understands and follows is better medicine than a technically accurate one that goes unread.

From Startups to Fortune 500 Companies
and All Points in Between

This is only a small sample of the clients that have relied on our commitment to design excellence for more than 25 years. What the logos do not show is how often those clients have returned after the first engagement: more than 60 projects for Microsoft, more than 13 for The Walt Disney Company , eight for Warner Bros. Entertainment, and seven for Alienware. While our history includes some of the world’s largest brands, our client roster also includes exceptional healthcare organizations, growing mid-sized companies, and ambitious startups building what comes next.

Common Questions

Healthcare & Healthtech UI/UX FAQ

Straight answers about healthcare product costs, timelines, HIPAA-aware design, clinical workflows, AI integration, development handoff, and the real-world considerations behind our healthcare UI/UX work.

How much does a healthcare UI/UX design project cost?

Cost depends on the number and complexity of the workflows, product modules, user roles, platforms, research requirements, and the condition of the existing interface and design system. It also matters whether we are designing a new healthcare product from scratch, redesigning an existing platform, or modernizing one part of a larger system. After discovery, we define the scope, priorities, deliverables, and engagement structure so the investment is tied to the actual work rather than an arbitrary screen count.

How long does a healthcare product redesign take?

A focused healthcare workflow or application module may take several weeks. A complex platform with multiple user types, clinical workflows, administrative tools, responsive states, and a larger design system may take several months. The number of screens matters, but the amount of research, structural thinking, workflow definition, and stakeholder review usually has a greater impact on the schedule.

Can you redesign an existing healthcare platform without rebuilding everything?

Yes. A healthcare product does not always need to be replaced from the ground up to improve the experience. We can work within the realities of an existing architecture, identify the modules and workflows creating the greatest friction, and create a phased modernization plan. That may include redesigning high-impact areas first, improving the design system incrementally, and delivering work in stages that your engineering team can implement alongside the existing product.

How do you design for HIPAA-aware healthcare products?

We design healthcare interfaces with privacy and compliance considerations in mind, including how protected health information is displayed, what may be visible on shared screens, how sensitive actions are confirmed, and how consent, permissions, session states, and access controls are represented in the interface. We design the user experience; your legal, security, and compliance teams own the final interpretation and technical implementation of HIPAA requirements.

How is designing for patients different from designing for clinicians?

They are often nearly opposite design problems. Patients may use a product occasionally while stressed, unwell, or unfamiliar with medical terminology. They need plain language, reassurance, accessibility, and a guided path. Clinicians use healthcare software repeatedly under time pressure and need speed, information density, predictable interaction patterns, and fewer unnecessary steps. We design each experience around its actual users and context, including provider-facing nursing tools such as HomeFirst by CareCentrix.

Do you design for multiple healthcare roles and permission levels?

Yes. Healthcare platforms often serve physicians, nurses, administrators, office staff, patients, caregivers, support teams, and executives within the same product. We define what each role needs to see, what actions they can take, and how information and functionality should change based on permissions. This may include role-specific dashboards, navigation, workflows, data visibility, approval paths, and progressive disclosure of advanced functionality.

Do you research real clinical workflows before designing?

Yes. User research and stakeholder interviews can be an essential part of discovery. For the InnovaMD portal redesign, we spent two weeks interviewing physicians, clinic administrators, and office staff to identify the pain points and usability issues they were experiencing before the design process began. Designing healthcare software without understanding the real workflow is how products end up fighting the people expected to use them.

How do you validate healthcare workflows before finalizing the design?

Validation may include stakeholder interviews, user research, workflow mapping, clickable prototypes, usability reviews, and structured feedback from clinicians, administrators, product leaders, and subject-matter experts. We use those findings to identify unclear steps, missing states, unnecessary friction, and assumptions that do not match the way the work is actually performed before the experience is finalized for development.

Do you design healthcare AI copilots and AI-enabled workflows?

Yes. We design healthcare AI experiences around the workflow, not as a detached chat box added to the corner of the application. That includes clinical copilots, summarization, intelligent search, recommendations, predictive insights, and workflow assistance. The interface should establish a trust layer through clear sources, confidence indicators, review states, explanations, human approval, override controls, auditability, and thoughtful handling of incomplete or incorrect AI output.

Have you designed real healthcare and healthtech products?

Yes. Our healthcare work includes two provider portal engagements for InnovaMD, DocPanel's radiology marketplace, Patientory's connected-health mobile platform, Broward Health's physician directory application, and HomeFirst by CareCentrix, a provider-facing clinical decision-support and discharge-planning application for hospital nurses. We have also redesigned a confidential pharmaceutical analytics platform and a separate 340B contract pharmacy management application across web, mobile, and tablet experiences.

Why does UX matter so much in healthcare specifically?

Poor healthcare UX can increase cognitive load, slow clinical and administrative work, create avoidable errors, reduce patient comprehension, and make already complicated workflows harder to complete. A well-designed healthcare interface improves hierarchy, makes system status and next actions clearer, reduces unnecessary steps, and helps users make better decisions without digging through disconnected information.

What do developers receive at the end of the engagement?

Deliverables may include organized Figma source files, production-ready screen designs, responsive layouts, reusable components, interaction states, clickable prototypes, design-system guidance, visual assets, and documentation for important behaviors and edge cases. We also collaborate with product and engineering teams during handoff so developers understand the intended workflows, component logic, responsive behavior, and interaction details before implementation begins.

How do you measure whether a healthcare redesign is successful?

Success should be connected to the problems the redesign was meant to solve. Depending on the product, that may include improved task-completion rates, shorter workflow times, fewer user errors, reduced support requests, faster onboarding, greater feature adoption, improved patient engagement, or less administrative burden for providers and staff. We help define the relevant experience goals during discovery so the redesign can be evaluated against meaningful product and operational outcomes.
