I did, however, read proposals and participate in the debates about the merits of each one. The process was a highlight of 2009 for me. There is no shortage of excellent ideas, each of which strives to create a more participatory future for health care.<\/p>\n<p>DiabetesMine and Project HealthDesign are just two examples of how design is taking center stage in health care initiatives.\u00a0 What else are you seeing?\u00a0 What else needs to be done?\u00a0 How else can the field rise to the challenge that Jamie Heywood <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/tedmed#p\/u\/2\/LMSGP2ONfBc\" target=\"_blank\">articulated <\/a>at TEDMED: <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if the technology we used to take care of ourselves was as good as the tech we use to make money?&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a banner week for people who think good design contributes to better health.
