Discussion points: With over 25 years in the industry, can you share your journey and some major momentum shifts you've witnessed during this time? 1:13 Given your experience with mission-critical UX, from medical emergencies to identity management, do you think our reliance on these systems has put us in a vulnerable position? 7:37 Considering your work on medical information systems, how do you integrate these systems with security and identity management? 12:39 Rapid fire questions 17:46 Having witnessed the tech evolution from the late seventies to now, what do you think the landscape will look like in 15 to 20 years? 22:23 What career advice would you give to those starting out in the field?? 26:14 Show notes: When I started, a career in UX did not exist. The closest thing might have been something like human factors, which I didn't even know existed back then. You don't really notice good user interfaces, you only notice bad ones. It is the responsibility of UX people to prevent human error. We need to anticipate and prepare for it, even though we can't eliminate it completely. With regard to artificial intelligence, I feel scared a little bit when I think about it because it has the power to do things that will replace humans or make decisions that humans are used to making. What I work on is actually the identity management part. It's about making it easy for clinicians to access the systems they need quickly and efficiently. Thinking through what would happen in catastrophic situations and making sure you have a good contingency plan is part of the user experience.
