The Health Manifesto

priestmangoode — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:24:42 +0000

Our Health Manifesto – the first in a series of manifestos in which we examine the way clever design thinking could be employed to improve products and services – is published today.

Using our experience of working in the commercial sector, we’ve identified a number of practical ways in which design could be used to improve the health service including one great example of how, by applying the same design principles we use to create first class airline cabins and hotel rooms, we could create an intelligently designed and beautifully crafted recovery room to take the strain off the queues for hospital beds and improve quality of wellbeing during recovery.
