Coming August 2023 Designing for Health

When it comes to the way healthcare works in the U.S., it’s easy to ask: Who designed such a load of junk? Well, no one. And that’s the problem. Dr. Craig Joseph and Dr. Jerome Pagani lay out how to make healthcare work for humans. The upshot? The way out of the frustrating, expensive, and frequently ineffective morass of the U.S. healthcare system is to take a step back and bring intentional, human-centered design to an ecosystem that works for the people giving and receiving care.
