Join us to hear how Healthcare Design aims to inspire, recognise and support design solutions that have the potential to improve the lives of people living or working within the healthcare system.

Public Lecture

It’s wicked, it’s complex, bring in the designers – Designing for complex health challenges. Uniquely able to design ecosystem for innovation, designers are taking on the challenge of designing for complex wicked problems. In the Netherlands, leading institutions TU Delft, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Erasmus Medical Centre have joined forces in Convergence, with a committed to combine their strengths, knowledge, and methods to address societal challenges such as climate change, sustainability, pressure on the healthcare system, urbanisation, and digitalisation. Professor Richard Goossens leads the Healthcare & Technology stream at Convergence and brings to this his considerable expertise as an ergonomic healthcare designer, with numerous patents and awards, including the Netherlands highest honour. In this public presentation he will share his experience as a leader at Convergence creating innovation for impact in healthcare in multidisciplinary ways. This is an opportunity to think positively about how we can influence the future of healthcare in Australia.
