<h3>Why I enrolled</h3>
I’m currently working at Better, where we’re building health products around sleep, and a lot of my work right now is focused on the full Better Sleep experience from the website and product communication to check-ins, wearable data and how users understand what’s actually changing in their sleep.One of my main goals from this course is to understand healthcare UX in more depth and learn how I can apply it better to the work I’m already doing. I’m especially interested in learning more around sleep, behaviour change, health data, trust and how we can make complex science feel simple and useful for users.I also want to understand how AI can play a meaningful role in sleep and healthcare products, especially around helping people understand their own data and patterns in a way that feels personal but not overwhelming.


 <h3>A breakthrough moment</h3>So grateful for this group 💛 and Eric. Different backgrounds, same goal more human healthcare UX.My aha this course: great healthcare design isn't about doing more, it's about removing friction when people are most vulnerable. Design for the overlooked, make information understandable, test by watching what people do, and stay honest about what you can't yet solve. I came in thinking a health product should do a lot; I'm leaving convinced the best ones do one thing clearly with empathy and accessibility built in.Would love to stay connected beyond the course find me on LinkedIn! 🙌


<h3>What I’ll apply</h3>
I'm excited to keep applying everything this course taught me starting with HerSignal. I want to keep refining it; I'm not fully confident in it yet, but I now have the research, testing, and design process to keep improving it the right way. The course also sparked a new idea I'm genuinely excited to explore. It sits closer to the patient-admin and care side: an on-demand platform for senior caregivers. The idea is two-sided it gives dignified employment to women (often less formally educated) who have real patience and a gift for caring for the elderly but have never had proper guidance or training, and it gives families an easy, trusted way to find care. Think of how India made groceries and services available in ten minutes I'd love to bring that same ease and reliability to finding compassionate senior care. What excites me is that it's a real, human solution to two real problems at once employment and elder care. I'd love to develop it using the same approach I learned here: listen to real users first, test early, and keep it simple and honest. I'd genuinely value Eric's guidance on taking it forward.
