"User Experience Doesn't Predict Retention" – Blog Sample
Research analyzing 56 mental health apps found UX scores don't predict whether users stay. Apps with high ratings lose users at the same rate as lower-scoring apps. This 2,500-word article reveals what actually drives retention.
What it demonstrates: Strategic pattern recognition across user journey stages, evidence-based insights for CMOs, and a content strategy framework (explainer videos, social, blogs, newsletters, email courses) that closes the trust gap UX can't.
Designing for therapists means prioritizing what matters in the next few minutes, not just what looks good on a dashboard.
I explored two layout directions for a mental health practice management web app that helps psychologists manage sessions, patients, documentation, tasks, and follow-ups.
Both concepts use the same core widgets, but with different positioning and visual hierarchy. The goal was to make daily priorities easier to scan and act on.
Option A feels a bit more natural for a therapist's workflow. Placing the daily schedule and key priorities right at the top makes it much easier to scan between back-to-back sessions without unnecessary friction. Great focus on practical UX over just aesthetics.
