UX design: maximising the value of scientific software in life science R&D
Using scientific software can be frustrating and time-consuming, resulting in less productive research. In this article we demonstrate that User Experience (UX) Design – an evidence-based design process that centres on the behaviours and needs of users – offers specific efficiency benefits for life-science R&D. We show that UX, which is well-established in other industries such as retail and finance, holds great unlocked potential for scientific software design. Because UX offers a clear path to differentiating a business and reaping benefits for the discovery pipeline, we suggest ways to incorporate it seamlessly into life-science R&D.
