This document discusses human-centered design approaches to improve healthcare systems and patient experiences. It covers several topics: 1. The importance of considering human needs, feasibility, and economic viability when designing healthcare solutions through approaches like industrial design, service design, and interaction design. 2. Examples of applying design thinking to problems like asthma treatment to improve control and reduce hospital admissions, and improving cancer patient experiences through better navigation of screening and treatment pathways. 3. The use of design research methods like identifying "extreme" user profiles to fuel creative problem solving and better engagement of patients in their own pre-assessment and care.
