It’s been a long winter in Boston. Spring is bound to come fast this year, bringing with it energy (and the ability to walk down the street without climbing through snow piles). So our recommendation for your first springtime event is HxRefactored, which will meet at the Westin Waterfront Hotel in Boston from April 1-2, 2015 and promises inspiration and excitement.
“Attendees of HxRefactored will have the opportunity to collaborate with and inspire each other to re-think experiences and re-factor healthcare,” says Mad*Pow Chief Experience Officer and event organizer Amy Cueva. “The goal of the conference is to develop a deep understanding of the people impacted by the healthcare ecosystem and to help them achieve better health.”
What makes HxRefactored special? The conference will bring together both the healthcare and the design worlds. Presentations will consider the effective (and not-so-effective) designs of current healthcare technologies, as well as topics like care delivery innovation, patient-centered design and behavior change.
We’ll be at the conference, and we hope we’ll get to see you there. We’re particularly excited these awesome offerings:
“Clever, innovative design used to create change in the healthcare ecosystem has the potential to improve experiences for everyone and strengthen the healthcare industry,” says Cueva of the conference’s goals and the pairing of design and healthcare. “Technology and design hold huge promise to enhance patient experiences, energize the healthcare industry and improve overall health outcomes for patients. Designers and developers who embrace the fact that “users” are actually human beings, and employ human-centered design to create effective solutions can tap this potential by addressing this need in the marketplace.”
