Andrea Soler & Taina Campos, Diseña Colectiva
In a moment of health crisis, it can be overwhelming and difficult to make decisions. How can we design digital products that help to overcome confusion —and actually empower both people and their caregivers? In this talk, Lauren will share learnings from the team’s work with Planned Parenthood and Breastcancer.org. She’ll outline strategies for overcoming the traditional standardized approach to health information and how we can collectively move towards a future of designing individualized digital tools and products that help people make the best decisions for their lives with safe, tailored, and non-judgemental information.
