Pandemic-inspired service designers are bringing health care to communities. COVID-19 forced health care providers to quickly ramp up existing services (telemedicine) and set up entirely new ones (mobile testing and vaccination sites). Hospitals around the world developed safe, robust services at record speed. Experts from Thomas Jefferson University’s Health Design Lab discuss how to best serve neighborhoods at risk. Featuring presentations from Bon Ku, MD and Morgan Hutchinson, MD, Leah Reisman, PhD, and Sonya Stokes, MD, MPH. Watch the broadcast here!
Designers are working quickly to protect humans from illness. At the start of the pandemic, designs for personal protective equipment (PPE) had changed very little for nearly fifty years. In the face of alarming shortages, the global maker movement jumped into action, and legions of home sewers stitched masks for essential workers. Engineers, artists, doctors, and designers sought to improve the comfort, effectiveness, and sustainability of PPE. Meanwhile, official guidelines were shifting. What is the state of PPE design now? Featuring talks from Monique Smith, MD, Adam Wentworth, and Sabrina Paseman. Watch the video here!
Designers and doctors are reimagining the places where we live, work, and gather. Many modern indoor spaces are sealed shut and climate-controlled. The pandemic prompted people to open the windows, move activities outside, and control the flow of indoor air. From plastic sneeze guards to graphics for social distancing, new norms sprang quickly into place. What worked and what didn’t? How can everyone have access to healthier spaces? Featuring presentations from Jennifer D. Roberts, Jennifer Tobias, and Andrew Ibrahim, MD. Watch the broadcast here!
