2 THEME | HEALTH[CARE] DESIGN LAUNCHPAD | THINKTANK “Future of Aging” At the end of 2018 the “Future of Aging” ThinkTank partnered with AARP, GE, CIC, State of Massachusetts, Stantec, Business Innovation Factory, and Boston University. Early 2019 the booklet and video were released and much traction generated among external partners and city/state departments, who used the materials to share with their network. This generated many leads for additional engagements with new partners.
LAUNCHPAD | HACKATHON “Capturing Bedside Innovation” In the Summer 2019 we partnered with Boston Childrens’ Hospital and MCPHS to bring together clinicians, nursing students and Wentworth students from diverse disciplines. Ideas generated focused on healthcare service quality and capturing bedside innovation more readily and systematically to impact hospital care on a larger scale.
