Research Challenge:
“How Might we improve the experience of health care for everyone involved?”
Inspired by the Student Service Design Challenge, I worked with a small team through a deep dive into understanding and addressing this complex issue. We started by framing our challenge, scoping potential problems and obstacles, and gathering relevant data at both state and regional levels to define the landscape. With this foundation, we developed personas and stakeholder maps to empathize with our users and understand the motivations and pain points of each stakeholder. Conducting stakeholder journeys further illuminated each role’s impact within the healthcare ecosystem. We then held empathy interviews with various possible stakeholders, revealing critical insights that allowed us to approach the problem holistically and identify actionable solutions for a more seamless healthcare experience."
