Zest Design System, AI Powered tools for commercial and clinical life science professionals.
OVERVIEW
The Zest Design System is a foundational element of the ZAIDYN™ platform by ZS Associates, a cloud-native, AI-powered solution that helps life sciences organizations modernize commercial and clinical operations. Zest provides a unified design language with over 150 interactive components and more than 15 customizable templates, enabling consistent, scalable, and user-friendly digital experiences across ZAIDYN applications.
Accessibility is a core pillar of Zest, and while many components are designed to meet inclusive standards, full accessibility across all ZAIDYN products is still a work in progress. We're actively evolving toward a platform-wide experience that is usable by everyone—regardless of ability—through continuous design improvements and collaboration across teams.
ZDS aims to improve product value and user experience:
•Define core functions, specifying UX, visual, as well as documenting behaviors and usage guidelines.
•Drive accessibility across tools/product
•Increased collaboration and knowledge sharing amongst design, product and engineering.
