Medtech UX is broken not because of bad designers or complex domains, but because nobody is measuring the right things. Workaround frequency, task abandonment, shadow system dependency: these numbers exist, compound every shift, and never appear on any budget line. The incentives - procurement, certification, sales demos - all point away from usability. Until the industry stops calling this a design problem and starts treating it as a financial and systemic one, nothing changes.
