    Thank you for your response, @Alzargani. I am excited too. I am proposing that we discuss β€œDesigning intuitive or habit-forming health AI Systems," or we could look at Uganda’s health information system currently, and talk about the same topic - intuitive or habit-forming interfaces for this particular system in Uganda. Feel free to propose any other topic. Also, propose a central place to meet.

    Blessings,

    Evelyn

    Hi Evelyn,

    Thank you for proposing these thoughtful and exciting topics!

    I’m particularly enthusiastic about exploring "Designing Intuitive or Habit-Forming Health AI Systems." It’s such a vital area, especially as we aim to enhance long-term user engagement and create sustainable impact. Applying this concept specifically to Uganda’s current health information system could make the discussion even more practical and grounded in real-world challenges.

    I’m happy to proceed with either option, though I’m slightly leaning toward focusing on Uganda’s system, as it could allow us to develop actionable recommendations and possibly spark future collaborations.

    On a personal note, I would like to share that I’m still relatively new to UX design and very eager to learn. I suggested this topic because I believe it will deepen my understanding and help me build essential skills for my future as a UX designer.

    I’m especially interested in learning how to better empathize with users β€” truly understanding their needs, feelings, and challenges so we can design solutions that fit seamlessly into their lives. I would also love to explore aspects of visual design, particularly how to effectively choose and apply colors to create appealing, accessible, and user-friendly interfaces, especially for websites and health systems.

    I believe gaining deeper skills in both empathy and visual design will be essential for my growth, and I’m excited to learn and share ideas with all of you.

    Looking forward to our discussion!

    Best regards,

    Alzargani

We also host regular IxDF Design Dinners, where we enjoy great food and help each other learn and grow. Even a simple coffee meetup in a cafΓ© can ignite collaborations and friendships that last a lifetime.

You'll also have a private and exclusive online forum where you can openly get help and career advice.
