Healthwise Entry Top-10 Finalist in IDEO Human Centered Design Contest
The Health 2.0 Conference is going on in San Francisco October 6-7 2009. IDEO is holding a contest to encourage and emphasize patient-centered design. Today I heard from Julie Cabinaw (@healthux, see her comment today on this article) that the first design her team at Healthwise created based on their mental models was accepted as one of 10 finalists in the contest. Julie says she hears more on Twitter about a competing product for creating prayer flags for child cancer patients, so don't expect a win. But top 10 is a great place to be!
Congratulations, Julie and team!

Thanks Indi and Lad for all of your help! Our solution, which featured two deeper dive mental models for low back pain and pregnancy, were based on the great work you helped us with in the high level models created. We so much appreciate all of our learning from you guys, and we encourage other companies to include this kind of approach in their learning -- its really changed how we approach solution design!
The ultimate winner of the contest was this solution from Satellite Laboratory Services--congratulations to them!
