Racism and sexism in medical device and service design.

Summer Stickney

Biases and ignorance cause harm to patients. Designers need to create products and services that work on diverse populations. For far too long we have treated a minority of the world’s population as the default. Truly inclusive design is possible if we make it a priority. Woman and people of color deserve medical treatment that […]

Digital transformation: Guiding patients and their loved ones, into the jungle of health care

The healthcare system is facing many complex challenges and the need for it to be efficient, making sure care stays affordable and accessible for our growing population, is one of them. Digitalisation can be an answer. Today, health professionals use many digital tools to fasten the care process, and patients can easily schedule their own healthcare appointments, to speed up and alleviate the process. We see a big opportunity to use digitalisation to give more autonomy to patients and their surroundings. Because navigating through our current scattered healthcare landscape can be very difficult for them due to; scattered information, contact with many different healthcare professionals and no clear expectation management. And this all while being in a very emotional state. In this talk, we share several cases and learnings on how Service Design and UX are a match made in heaven to smooth the healthcare journey for patients and unburden their caregivers, by digitalization.

Who sees blind people? The UX of being vision impaired in a seeing world

Daniel Trattler

Wouldn’t it be great if there was an app for blind people to completely navigate the world with? Probably not. They are already pretty good at doing that. The real problem is that the sensory unimpaired population doesn’t see them. The consequence is social isolation and economic hardship. Let’s try to open our eyes for […]
