Design Expo 2017
In order to gain innovative ideas and concepts within healthcare, creative people who are capable of thinking outside the traditional frameworks of the healthcare sector are essential. Therefore a cross-over with the creative sector is very valuable for developing innovations. Through Design Expo, Innovation for Health offers professionals from the creative industry the opportunity to present their work in person to the life sciences and healthcare community! These projects consist of visual concepts or prototypes showing innovative solutions for a current complex problem within healthcare.
