  • It’s hard to imagine the cognitive load for a caregiver with a child who has Type 1 diabetes. There are hundreds of decisions to make each day and none of them trivial. Technological advances have gone a long way to helping, but more often than not, they only contribute to the overwhelming amount of information caregivers have to process. Is there a way in which we can use technology to ease that burden rather than add to it? In this episode we talk to Dan Korelitz about his journey as a parent to find a better way to manage his son’s diabetes.

  • What do we mean by health? Is it the absence of disease? If you're not sick, then one could argue you're healthy. But is that looking at the glass half empty, rather than full?

    The WHO defines health as a “state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” So what steps can we take to create a health ecosystem that has human flourishing as its organising principle rather than just the treatment of disease?

    In this episode we consider this question from multiple perspectives of the fragmented health ecosystem and discuss how they can unify around a holistic, human-centred approach to the challenges that lie ahead.

  • High blood pressure is a silent killer. Measuring it is not the problem – instead it’s the seemingly straightforward task of recording patient medical history, over time, that causes the biggest clinical barrier to providing effective care.

    It is in developing countries where this burden is most pronounced. Under huge demand, appointment times with patients can be under 4 minutes long, and the strain on clinicians to keep track of everything can be overwhelming.

    In this episode we talk to Daniel Burka, the Director of Design at Resolve To Save Lives, to discuss how designing a stripped back EMR (electronic medical record) with a healthy dose of essentialism is enabling healthcare workers to manage blood pressure at scale in India and beyond.

  • User experience needs to be intuitive and seamless for any digital platform. For such a large, sophisticated wellness platform built by Vitality, this is indoctrinated in the company’s culture. Their core goal is to grow and maintain healthy living across society by rewarding people – the first of its kind for a health insurance business. There needs to be a win-win offering for all stakeholders to sustain this goal, which is why they believe in the idea of ‘shared value’.

    Partnering with leading companies like Apple and Amazon, Vitality continues to develop their membership programs – and challenge their own propositions as they grow.

    Join Hanno and Dave as they uncover how a large organisation stays innovative, invests in the design process, and how they build their programs based on behavioural economics.

  • Open up a newspaper or check your favourite blog, chances are you’ll find something about yet another new technology promising to transform the world around us. But it’s less often that we hear about businesses finding meaningful use cases for these innovations - especially when it comes to those often overlooked by techs rapid advances.

    An outlier to this is inventor Dr Stephen Hicks’ smart glasses company Oxsight. Using augmented reality and machine learning, the glasses enhance sight for the visually impaired.

  • We all know it. Going to the doctor these days can be confusing, inconvenient and stressful. As a result, things like telemedicine apps have sprung up to skip out the doctor’s office entirely and they’re rapidly gaining popularity - but will relying on technology alone be the best way to boost health outcomes?

    One Medical believe it’s about more than just providing thoughtful technology. Instead it’s about integrating the best digital experiences with stylish & calming clinical spaces that you can go to not only when you’re sick, but also when you want to improve your long-term health and wellness.

    Join Hanno and David as they discuss how design is a driving force behind their mission to change how we visit the doctor. Touching upon how and why healthtech needs to balance getting things done, with doing things right.

  • As genetic testing becomes more mainstream, the potential lying beyond novelty products revealing your ancestry is staggering. In healthcare, DNA sequencing is already providing real medical value, but its costs have largely limited it to individuals at high-risk of disease, already working with specialists.

    Color believes that genomics should be brought further upstream and used as a preventive tool for whole populations of people. Making clinical genetics accessible as part of routine care would mean spotting the likelihood of disease, understanding risk, and paving the way for tailored interventions at scale, way ahead of time.

    Join Hanno and Wendy as they explore the role design, genetics and technology play in the movement from ‘sickcare’ to affordable, preventative healthcare, covering everything from Google HEART design principles and genetic counselors to DNA sequencing labs.

  • With AI and machine learning creeping its way into more areas of our lives, we often hear stories about how technology is going to automate and eliminate the role human beings play in the workplace and beyond.

    Honor sees things a little differently. On a mission to modernise the care older adults receive in their own homes as they age, Honor is using technology to amplify the human factor not minimise it, when it comes to improving the lives of older adults, their loved ones and the professionals that care for them.

  • Here's a taster of the trends we cover:

    1. Socio-technologicalFrom what's the matter with you to what matters to you.

    "The role of technology in people's lives is going to be very different. Their expectations of what could be achieved and delivered through digital technologies in the area of health and well-being is going to be very different in 10 to 15 years time."

    2. Systems BiologyUnderstanding health on a molecular and environmental level

    "If we're truly serious about getting on top of health we have to step outside of the clinical realm and start to get to grips with the factors that influence people's poor health."

    3. Personalised MedicineOptimising and individualising treatments

    "Rather than treating disease when it manifests itself in organs, we will go right back to DNA protein generating processes that kick off a cascading sequence of events that then arrive at things like dementia or heart disease or diabetes."

    4. MedTech InnovationChanging where and how health is provided

    "Big expensive equipment often housed in secondary care locations is increasingly being miniaturised with software and algorithms packed into it. Things done by specialists will start to move to lower cost environments."

    5. Data and AI Powered HealthMapping the universe of the human body

    "The knowledge gained from observing and capturing all of this data will give us new insights that will become incredibly important helping people to manage themselves."

    6. Psychology of HealthRewriting the role of healthcare

    "We need to understand what people need and want from healthcare because if we don't we'll have all this technological capability but we won't be able to engage people in ways that take this new information and make it empowering."
