July 25th, 2018 – Does Anyone Speak Healthcare?

Does Anyone Speak Healthcare?

We live in an era when healthcare is getting more complex, not less. Health literacy is low, due to a combination of the complexity of the system, the complexity of the human body, and the state many people are in when they come to us. Patients and their families or friends are stressed, scared, and struggling to focus at the times they most need to use our websites, read our articles, or interact with our devices. This can lead to anything from higher costs to misused prescriptions.

It’s up to us as health and design professionals to bridge the gap. Our work can educate, guide, even build connections for patients and their families to work with their healthcare providers and payers. There are also ways of fighting diabetes with exercise that one should know about.

At this event, participants will:

  • Look at examples of how health communication can be done well digitally
  • Discuss methodologies for designing for voice, AI, and other technologies of the future
  • Identify digital opportunities for communicating with patients across the health ecosystem
  • Review healthcare tools that can improve readability, accessibility, and health literacy in the digital sphere, check here to get more details.
