Motivation: UX Research after Testing
In the last part of our blog series on motivation, we look at the phase after the test. After examining how motivation is kept high during the interview, the following questions arise: How do I adequately conclude the research project with the participants and how do I communicate the collected data with stakeholders?
Motivation: ‘The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life’
In the second part of our blog series, we laid the foundation for achieving high motivation in the test preparation phase. In this part, we focus on the phase during the test: which factors should be considered in regard to the test subject and which to myself as a researcher? Most importantly, how can motivation be kept high throughout the interview?

Gesundheit2025 Needs UX
The E-Health Act and the Future Agenda for Health 2025 formulate the objectives of digitisation, which should be implemented by 2025. At both DMEA 2019, Europe’s largest event for the health IT industry, and the opening of the health innovation hub (hih), we met people from different sectors of the industry who approached us with concerns about the implementation of these goals. Everyone was affected by the question: how can Germany succeed in catching up? We trust in the powerful capabilities of UX in transformative processes such as those presently emerging in the healthcare sector.
AI Trends in the Medical Sector
What is the current state of self-learning eHealth systems? What are the goals of the pioneers of this technology? Are they within reach? How should the interaction with the user, or the doctor, be designed? We spoke to Dr Andreas Lemke, founder of the Berlin start-up mediaire. Their technology offers radiologists an innovative, intelligent analysis of MRI data.
Voice User Interfaces: The next step in our interaction with technology?
Every day, we interact with our environment. One of the most common forms of interpersonal interaction is conversation – with friends, family or colleagues in the office. Speech is, for us, an intuitive medium that we learned in childhood, to communicate with each other.
Speaking UX: UseTree at the DMEA 2019
