Making health care beautiful by design

Description:

Join Ellen Lupton, an influential designer, curator, and renowned author, and Dr. Bon Ku, an emergency physician and co-host of the TV show Chasing the Cure, in a conversation about design and health care. Their new book, Health Design Thinking, shows ways to generate creative ideas and solutions in the context of medicine. Problems in health care often involve ambiguity and uncertainty, lacking black-and-white answers. This beautifully illustrated handbook invites readers to think like designers and embrace the art of listening and the joy of making. Their lively talk shows how design has been applied to real-world problems in health care, from gyn exams in the emergency room to better pill bottles, hospital gowns, exam rooms.
