Omada Health, Alex Mandel: On user motivation and leading a team

Welcome our guest, Alex Mandel from Omada Health, ex-Google. Alex Mandel is a designer, researcher, and product strategist. A sneak peek into this episode: - "With the additional bureaucracy, there are additional resources and you can, in some ways, solve bigger problems or at least have more resources behind aiming at these problems." - "The tactic that we take is if you're in a lower motivational quality, the first thing that we need to do is raise your motivational quality. Ideally shifting from what we called, like extrinsic motivation, a financial reward, or whatever to the intrinsic motivation "I want to do this, so I can go on that bike ride" for instance. - "We have managed to distribute ownership over the team processes across the team. There's actually only one design meeting that I lead." Our guest: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-mandel-12a52035/ _______ My LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-borysova/

BenevolentAI, Marek Kultys: On Design for AI Drug Discovery Platform

Today our guest is Marek Kultys, director of User Experience at BenevolentAI, an AI drug discovery company. He designed products for clinical decision-making and reporting, for finding, sharing, and visualizing biomedical data, for running clinical trials, and for portable DNA research. A sneak peek into this episode: - "In the biomedical context, our users always want to see more. We try not to filter and assume what might be useful, what might not be useful from the user perspective, the default option from a design side would be to list everything that we know." - "Sometimes we ask our users to just sketch and then build on top of their ideas. Some of them are so wild that we wouldn't be able as designers to even come up with these things. Those ideas come from the understanding deeper understanding of the data."

Hi guys, and welcome to Health Tech Matters. Today our guest is Nicole Cassese, Copy Lead, Content & Brand at BetterUp, ex-Headspace Standards Editor. A sneak peek into this episode: - "Vulnerability is a strength and you're not being weak by taking care of yourself. If you're in a better state of mind and a better state of being, you're going to be able to be there for everything else." - "It's a marathon. It is not a race. We're going to be working for many, many years of our lives. So enjoy it!" - "At the beginning of every single week, I make sure that any free time that hasn't been built into a meeting is then thrown into a writing block so that people don't overbook it. If I don't keep the writing time, then I won't have that time to get in the zone and do the best work that I can."
