What role does design play in our healthcare systems?
In this fourth episode of Silent Designers, our guest Tom Inns explores the theme of healthy living and technologies. Tom is the director of the consultancy, Cofink, a visiting Professor at the University of Strathclyde, and a coach on the Innovate UK Design for Growth programme.
Join us as Tom explains his fascination with the role design can play in helping the silent designers within healthcare teams understand complex challenges, undertake the necessary phases of discovery, and innovate to deliver change.
“Each time I run a project I learn as much as the team about nudging and evolving our processes, tools, and methodologies. How we can push the boundaries and make collaborations happen.”
Tom Inns, Director of Cofink
Tom shares:
- The powerful impact of design thinking approaches and ethnography in healthcare settings
- How mapping out a visual ecosystem of healthcare pathways creates a fantastic focus point for collaborations
- The real-life impact of healthcare innovation—in trumpet form
Want to learn how to apply design thinking to your own work?
In the second half of this episode, Tom also shares three simple yet fascinating new ways of looking at the world and how you can introduce design thinking into your own practice at work.
“If you take these three little pieces of mental gymnastics on board, you'll be motoring when it comes to design and systems thinking.”
Tom Inns, Director of Cofink
