This project is important to me and the Human-Centered Design Lab because we have an opportunity to make a larger impact on our community at Medical College of Wisconsin and in our health design community in Wisconsin. This would positively affect our faculty, staff, and students by sharing what human-centered design and design thinking is and how it can be applicable in their work. It would also allow for networking opportunities that might not organically occur between health professions and the design community.

In collaboration with other local institutions, I would like to co-develop a health design symposium. There is a small number of health design labs in the United States, and an even smaller number that focus on medical education and social innovation. Over the last ten months our lab has been dedicated to creating a new mission and vision for the future of our lab. Our mission is to advance the innovation of medical education by empowering change makers through empathy, experimentation, and curiosity. Our programs are designed to challenge the status quo and encourage participants to be open to new perspectives. Using this mission, we can offer our community of designers an opportunity to learn and connect with one another. Milwaukee has a strong higher education presence that we can tap into and that would have interest in working on co-developing a project like this.

Project Name: health DESIGN open

Project by Faculty Innovation Fellows Candidate Antonina Johnston

Why is this project important to you, your department, & your Fellows?

The health DESIGN open project is important to me and the Human-Centered Design Lab because we have an opportunity to make a larger impact on our community at the Medical College of Wisconsin and in our health design community in the United States. This would positively affect our faculty, staff, and students by sharing what human-centered design and design thinking is and how it can be applicable in their work. Through this project we will encourage innovation in health profession education while also developing stronger relationships with colleagues and creating a community of practice.

A secondary reason this is important to me is to help solidify the identity of the Human-Centered Design Lab at the Medical College of Wisconsin. This is an opportunity to focus on radical collaboration within the health professions education by co-designing programs and ideas with learners, staff, and faculty. We will broaden our reach and impact through this work by including new connections with health designers, educators, and entrepreneurs in our area.

Description

In collaboration with the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I will co-design a health DESIGN open that will be linked to their annual Innovator's Expo. Currently, there is a small number of health design labs in the United States, and an even smaller number that focus on health professions education and social innovation. Over the last year our lab has been dedicated to creating a new mission and vision for the future of our lab. Our mission is to advance the innovation of medical education by empowering change makers through empathy, experimentation, and curiosity. Our programs are designed to challenge the status quo and encourage participants to be open to new perspectives. Using this mission, we can offer our community of health designers an opportunity to learn and connect with one another. Milwaukee has a strong higher education presence that we can tap into and that would have interest in working on co-designing a project like this and creating a strong community of practice.

The long-term goals of this project will be to host an annual or bi-annual open to learn together, share new ideas, and connect. This open will include programming that includes human-centered design learning and training, community design planning, and presenters on health design topics. The pilot health DESIGN open is scheduled for Thursday, May 9th through Friday, May 10, 2024 in collaboration with the UWM Innovator's Expo.

In December 2023 a team was created from the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center and the Kern Institute at the Medical College of Wisconsin to start the planning and design of the open. Marketing of the pilot will begin in late January 2024.
