Reimagining User Authentication for Digital Health Services: A User-Centered Approach
summary
UX team analyzes thousands of feedback surveys and help desk inquiries and finds login and account creation are the top pain points; EHRs still rely on passwords still dominant while users ask for biometrics and passwordless options. HIPAA-era caution meets the 21st Century Cures Act (2022 enforcement) requirement to avoid information blocking, creating a mandate-plus-usability tension. Cancer patients’ frailty, low digital readiness, and fragmented identities cause repeated registrations; recommended fixes are diversified authentication options, privacy-enhancing tech, and policy guidance.
