MACMILLAN Design Innovation for Health and Medicine

Design Innovation for Health and Medicine offers an innovative approach for solving complex healthcare issues. In this book, three design experts examine a range of case studies to explain how design is used in health and medicine―exploring issues such as diverse patient needs, an ageing population and the impact of globalisation on disease. These case studies, along with high-profile industry projects conducted by the authors over the past decade, inform a novel framework for designing and implementing innovative solutions in this context. The book aims to assist designers, medical engineers, clinicians and researchers to shape the next era of healthcare.
