With the aid of illustrations, charts, worksheets, and case studies, Healthcare by Design brings the creative practice of designers into productive partnership with the data-driven, evidence-based world of healthcare. The book reveals how a designer's toolkit ideation, design research, prototyping can be used to solve problems with fresh eyes. As a result, Healthcare by Design will provide an invaluable guide to creating actionable and sustainable solutions to improve healthcare delivery.
