Redcare Pharmacy

Driving innovation with user-centered design – insights from our ux researcher’s latest project.   We are happy to have Franciszka Bayer as one of our talented UX researchers in our UX team. Since joining Redcare Pharmacy in May 2023, she has brought her expertise and passion for understanding user needs, helping to ensure that our products truly meet the expectations of our customers. One of the key projects Franciszka has worked on during the last months was our CardLink solution for redeeming e-prescriptions digitally in our Shop Apotheke app. She shared her latest experience and excitement with us:   💬 "2024 marked a major milestone for the healthcare industry in Germany—the long-awaited introduction of the electronic prescription (eRx). The shift toward digitalisation in healthcare has been rapid and it is our job to ensure that these changes are not only innovative but also accessible and user-friendly for everyone.   At Redcare Pharmacy, we took this challenge to heart and released our CardLink solution for our app in May. CardLink simplifies the process of redeeming e-prescriptions, offering customers a seamless link between their healthcare provider and our online pharmacy. Being a customer-centric company, we wanted to make sure that the experience of redeeming an eRx is as smooth as possible for our users. To truly understand how our customers interact with this new solution, we conducted a series of in-house user tests. These sessions gave us a unique opportunity to sit down with our customers and observe firsthand how they navigate the eRx process. These insights are now fuelling further research and development. Our goal is to continuously refine the user journey, making it as easy and intuitive as possible for every customer.   Working directly with our customers has been incredibly insightful and rewarding. Their feedback has provided us with invaluable knowledge that will help shape the future of e-prescriptions and improve our digital services. There is something really special about the moments when you see how much your work can impact people's lives and I could not be more excited for what is to come."   At Redcare Pharmacy, we're committed to creating seamless digital healthcare experiences – because we start everything with people. With the dedication of experts like Franciszka, we’re continuously enhancing and refining the way our customers engage with our healthcare services. We look forward to further transforming the digital landscape, always with our customers at the heart of everything we do.
