For the past few months, I’ve contributed to ChRIS (Childrens’ Research Integration Service) as a user experience (UX) designer.ChRIS is a cloud-based, open source framework for processing medical imaging data; it was originally conceived by a team at Boston Children’s Hospital and successfully executed with help from the Mass Open Cloud (MOC) and Red Hat.
Working on the ChRIS project is fulfilling in a direct way; it applies open source technology and principles to improve patient care. Doctors shouldn’t have to be computer scientists to be able to use the best innovations in medical image processing technology to improve their patients’ outcomes.
Enabling doctors to make use of leading-edge, yet frustratingly esoteric, software to improve patient care is an example of the larger challenge of UX in open source. Open source software is ubiquitous: it’s running and improving systems and services around the world, and sadly has a well-earned reputation for terrible UX. Technology’s core functionality is not enough: a great UX is necessary to unlock its full potential!

Choosing to survey people is quite simple. But creating one? That’s another story. Believe it or not, there is a true science to creating online surveys. And I know what you’re thinking…The surveys you’ve taken in the past may have seemed simple at first glance and well, quite frankly they should be. But in reality the thought and consideration that goes into building truly effective surveys is quite advanced.
