Health Equity by Design: Tackling Healthcare Disparities with Empathy
In our quest to address healthcare disparities and promote gender equity, having innovative ideas is just the beginning. The true measure of success is ensuring that these ideas translate into tangible solutions that make a real difference in people's lives. At Novartis, in the US, weintegrate design thinking principles into our solutions approach. Design thinking offers us astructured pathway to generate innovative ideas and support their successful realization in thecomplex world of healthcare. This workshop addresses health and gender inequity by helpingparticipants lean into design thinking’s first principle: empathy. Participants will engage in a case study exploring prostate cancer disparities in Black men, examining how social determinants of health (SDOH) impact these disparities and developing actionable solutions.
