In this podcast episode is a guest speaker – Kim Goodwin, who is a renowned design leadership expert and reflects on her career in healthcare design.
The conversation is about the importance of accountability in healthcare design, touching on issues of integrations, configurations, and the need for traceability. Kim discusses the challenges of creating a more professional design industry and draws parallels with professions like medicine and hairdressing that require licensing. The hosts and Kim also address the lack of a formal certification process in design and the potential benefits of establishing one.
From a master’s thesis perspective on “dark patterns,” the podcast provides insights into the ethical considerations and accountability in design. Kim’s opinion on traceability, accountability, and the need for a more mature product development process aligns with the exploration of bad user interfaces in the context of dark patterns.
In conclusion, the podcast encourages designers to focus on enhancing user well-being, reflecting on their design decisions, and advocating for professional standards in the industry. This insight is valuable for my master’s thesis, especially in understanding the ethical dimensions of design.
