MAKING TECHNOLOGY MATTER FOR USERS - CONTINUOUS, PROACTIVE HEALTHCARE
presented by Brad Löhrding, Vice President - Product Design, Logic

The movement towards continuous, proactive healthcare encourages individuals to take an active interest in their health. Technology products that support and encourage a healthy and sustainable lifestyle are effective only if they are adopted by users and seamlessly integrated into their lives. By applying lessons learned from the design of consumer products we can work to create these deep personal connections and promote change.
