Innovation in Healthcare: A Roadmap

This one-day workshop introduces an interdisciplinary approach to research, design, and innovation in our healthcare system.

By stepping through various design methodologies for health innovation and technology development, attendees will leave the workshop with a greater understanding of how to effectively conduct research while keeping the user and their needs at the heart of the design process.

The workshop includes:

• Innovation Road Map: Explore the landscape of innovation in research, distinguishing between innovative solutions and processes.
• Design Safari: Take a guided tour through Auckland City Hospital to understand practical design considerations in healthcare.
• Design Methodologies: Delve into multiple methodologies for health innovation and key considerations for product development in health.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is ideal for health technology researchers at any stage of their career, particularly those early in their research translation journey. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the health system, learn about design considerations for new product development, and leave with practical tools and methodologies to enhance their research and innovation projects.

About the presenters:

Kylie Clampitt is a product design engineer at Ara Manawa. She has a background in biomedical engineering, having completed her Masters in 2020 at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute. Following this, she worked in the medical device industry at Fisher & Paykel Healthcare for 3.5 years, providing technical engineering skills in addition to human factors and regulatory support. Her blend of experiences in health, research, and product development has led her to her current role, using human-centered design as a driver for improving patient experiences.

Iuliia Sankova completed her Bachelor degree of Interior design in Toronto, Canada and has worked on a variety of projects from luxury hotels to hospitals. These experiences have led her to healthcare design as she wanted to focus her energy on developing better spaces for patients and clinicians. She’s drawn to work that allows her to apply her skills in designing spaces that empower people, support their identity, and uphold their dignity. She’s continually inspired by those she designs for and humbled by the ongoing process of learning and improvement.
