Better Design System 1.2.0 is here, bringing powerful enhancements to healthcare UX ! This update introduces a multifunctional set of components focused on navigation, interaction, and clarity, making it easier than ever to build intuitive, accessible, and consistent healthcare applications.
From smarter forms to guided workflows and better data display, this release expands Better Design System (BDS) with 11 new components.
New form elements
We have added new, intuitive form elements like Date picker and Checkbox group for effortless scheduling and flexible option selection. Together with our existing components, these upgrades make capturing, managing, and interacting with data faster, clearer, and more reliable.

Navigation and structure
Great experiences need more than components, they need flow.
