Included in Fast Company's "14 most important books for designers
to read right now."
"Presented in practical, approachable prose, it offers context,
methods, and case studies sourced from the medical community, such
as a hand-held device for detecting breast cancer or a clothing
line with functional openings that people with chronic illnesses
can wear during medical procedures. Graphics by Lupton’s longtime
collaborator Jennifer Tobias bring the ideas to life."
—Architectural Digest
"Ku’s medical perspectives and Lupton’s sensitivities to the
history and future of design take the reader on an entertaining
journey that is not only fun, with one-liners inserted with
surgical precision, but, with an abundance of case studies to
illustrate their message, it is also very educational."
—Health Environments Research and Design Journal
"The healthcare system is ripe with challenges and opportunities
for innovation. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted this issue
more than ever. If you’re a designer working in healthcare, or
interested in understanding how design is being used in a
healthcare context, this book is for you. The book is filled with
real-world projects and examples of applying design to health."
