The Healthcare in Shape symposium welcomes all healthcare professionals, researchers, designers, policy makers and students with an interest or expertise in rethinking, designing, implementing and evaluating novel solutions and policies for a healthcare system in shape.
Designers and healthcare providers share a common goal: to keep individuals, communities and societies in shape, addressing health issues along a continuum from wellness to serious illness. How to design an evidence-based, future-proof, high quality, sustainable and inclusive health system? Join the discussions and interactions and gain new insights and connections.
