Project Overview: As the patient-centered team our goal is to assess and build on prior Studio studies and identify opportunities in patient and health-seeking contexts. Previous projects have developed solutions for home blood pressure habits for CVD self-management, storyboards and app prototypes for lifestyle changes and concepts for increasing physical activity through informal sports. The goal this year is to accelerate the project by utilizing the LEDE cycle framework, with the intention of rearranging the process to design first followed by conducting research.

As various factors may impact lifestyle changes needed to prevent CVD (i.e. diet, exercise, meds, weight loss), emotional stress & coming across varying information our aim is to empower patients utilizing a human-centric approach.
