We Used Midjourney To Design Digital Health Technologies

Text-to-image AI generators like Midjourney, DALL-E or Stable Diffusion became popular and widely used in the past year. Although these algorithms have their limitations, feeding them with the right prompts can result in spectacular images. So much so that this one generated by Midjourney even won an art prize. This presents so many fascinating questions and generates fierce debate. I, for one, don’t believe AI will replace artists, just as I don’t believe it will replace doctors. You can go on and experiment with these tools to find out for yourself how extremely hard it is to make the algorithm draw a picture like the one winning the blue ribbon for digital art. Finding these prompts is an art in itself which requires vision. However, this is actually not the topic we’re discussing here. My initial quest for this experiment was to test whether these generators are able to come up with viable-looking product designs for a variety of digital health products. Can we use them to stumble upon brand-new ideas or revolutionary new concepts? In short, the answer is “not very likely” as of now, but they might offer some ideas worth exploring. And, as it is explained here with some great examples, coming up with a sleek-looking sketch for a future product is only the first step of the design journey.  The Good Let’s start with the good examples. I tested 11 ideas and Midjourney came up with 5 design directions that I think are actually better in some a...
