THIS FREE WEBINAR BEGINS

About this Webinar
The past four years have changed the ways people engage each other and the products and services they use. Remote work and remote medicine have been normalized, and digital transformation has accelerated. As a result, older adults who once might have been reluctant, or simply refused to adopt digital technologies, are now regular users. And they have expectations that need to be met. Designers of products and services for the aging industry need to consider these evolving needs and behaviors if they wish to be competitive. It is more important now than ever to understand how people think, feel, and interact with products and services. In this interactive workshop Lisa and Bryan Rill will teach you how to implement human-centered design (HCD), an approach to designing products and services that puts human needs before technology. You will learn how to connect and empathize with your customers, and to make sure your product decisions are informed by their voices. The result? Products and services that people love and will use.
