In the Healthcare arena, Design Thinking involves developing empathy for patients, caregivers and Healthcare providers, discovering opportunities, generating user-centred solutions, and then building and testing prototypes of these solutions that will in turn solve complex problems and challenges in Healthcare.
To get members of the EM ACP on board, the Care Transformation & Innovation directorate engaged the Office of Innovation team to conduct workshops focused on the Design Thinking methodology, techniques on performing design research, identifying and framing opportunities, rapid ideation and prototyping as well as funding opportunities for Healthcare Innovation in Singapore.
