Innovation is necessary to achieve health equity. However, the human-centered approach of design thinking, a powerful tool of innovation, does not guarantee equitable solutions. Equity-centered models must complement it.
This 5-day in-person intensive workshop at Penn allows participants to explore design thinking and equity-centered design by collaboratively putting them into practice. Institute faculty and speakers will provide insight into how design thinking and equity-centered design have already transformed health as well as the importance of addressing equity in all aspects of the process. Come with ideas, and leave with frameworks, contacts, and plans.
