EVENT DETAILS |
As expert problem solvers, designers are often called upon to bridge gaps-like between manual & automated processes, or between the engineers who build tools & the users they build them for, or between emerging technologies & archaic ones (did someone say fax?). Bridging gaps is especially challenging in a space as complex as healthcare; so many disparate pieces must align for the larger system to work & CAN often have potentially dire consequences if they don't. But when designers tackle bridging these gaps, the story is often worth sharing!
In our final event of 2018, Design for Healthcare will host an evening of lightning talks on the topic of Bridging the Gap. We'll be accepting submissions on your interpretations of this topic prior to the event (more info below) & selecting a handful to headline as presenters at the event. After presentations, we'll open the floor to questions & mingling. We hope this format will serve as an opportunity for members of the Design for Healthcare group to engage with this event in a whole new way.
The format for a lightning talk allows each presenter to create 20 slides that automatically advance every 25 seconds, making for an exciting ~8.5 minute presentation. Read more about them here.
Light food & refreshments will be provided.
