A Guide to Human-Centered Design
This report seeks to illuminate the design process necessary to create accessible, enjoyable, and empowering data tools for place-based health equity. It also outlines basic principles of HCD, describing a general four-step process to put design into action, as well as showcasing best practices to create user-friendly designs in general.
After years of development, we are finally ready to begin testing the SDOH & Place Project’s Data Discovery App!
Next up in the Fellow Showcase Series: The Windham Connecticut, Food Access Map created by Peter Chen.
We begin our Fellow Showcase series with the Montgomery, Alabama Asset Map created by one of our Fellows: Amy Kryston.
