Design
for Health
From first-mile health to last-mile care, how might we design a healthier future for all?
IDEO’s health team is committed to unlocking a better and healthier future by designing products, services, and experiences that bring equity, dignity, and joy to everyone.
Our portfolio of health work is expansive and purpose-driven. We understand the intricacies of health, and effortlessly balance the critical trade-offs of innovation.
We have a global team of health-obsessed designers, ready to dig into a diverse array of challenges.
Some of the questions that are preoccupying our team:
- How might we use technology to make care more human?
- How might health systems care for people while supporting the planet?
- How might we finally realise the promise of precision medicine and personalised care?
- How might reimagining care for the next generation challenge today's conventions?
- How might we make everyday life healthy by design?
