What the health!?

Thursday, April 11th

@luaart

6-9pm | Stanford d.school

Donuts. Traffic Jams...? Grubhub!? There are things in life that have obvious negative influences on our health. Then there are things that aren’t so obvious — like Grubhub and Netflix.

The goal of this Satellite Session is to help students see non-obvious design opportunities in the Health Domain by exposing them to the Building H Index then helping them get hands-on with design mindsets and methods by exploring how we might help the Stanford Town Center Project design with health in mind.

Agenda : Subject to change

  • Doors open. Food and drink service begins.

  • Panel in the d.school atrium.

    Panel featuring the Systems Design for Health teaching team (Sara Singer, Steven Downs, Joanne Cheung & Gordon Bloom).

    Understand what the Building H Index is and how we might use it to explore non-obvious design opportunities in the Health Domain.

    Understand what the Stanford Town Center Project is and how we might apply design mindsets and methods to the project to amplify healthy outcomes on multiple levels.

  • Activations in the d.school Bay Studio facilitated by d.school teaching team members.

  • Debrief, Feedback & Next Steps

    Seamus Yu Harte will facilitate a short debrief conversation to synthesize the information, insights and opportunities generated.

    Students will have the opportunity to capture “How might we..” and “What if…” video statements for us to use as design research and/or share via social media to keep our explorations moving forward.

  • Doors close.
