Hello!

A Better World by Design, Health Care Systems: Introduction to Kendra Shimmell © 2010 2

I’m pretty much curious about everything

I’ve been a researcher for 8 years, and a designer for 10. I study people and their stories.

I want to make things betterfor them.

In the search for meaningfuldesign, I’ve worked on a lotof “knotty” problems.

Health careis particularly complex.

While at Lextant,I was fortunate to be involved in many projects where I could dig deep into health care “ecosystems,” and patient care from the provider’s perspective.

After joining Adaptive Path, my focus has shifted a bit toward understanding & managing patient’s lifestyle changes through products & services that bridge the health care gap.

One thing that has become very clear to me—health care is procedure oriented...

Patient’s aren’t.Here lies the opportunity.
