She focuses on designing interfaces for healthcare technology for software healthcare providers use to better take care of patients. She believes recognizing design's role in healthcare will help build a better future for growth and quality in the medical field. What we particularly need more of in medicine are designers who can be a bridge to create great interfaces that physicians and healthcare professionals can integrate into their practice. While I believe that anyone can program given a computer, patience and the right book, learning what works on the front-end for different industries is much harder. Only good design can be the connector to helping us meet our goal of making technology adoption worthwhile and cost effective in medicine!Stesha Doku MD on Revision Path 01 July 2013 Mastering the craft of great design is a surprisingly long and continuous process. You will find that having a good eye is very different than being able to think creatively, which is in turn very different from being able to technically manifest your ideas digitally. Great designers have all three, so pick one to start with and the others will build on that. You can find Stesha on Twitter at @dohkoo.
