How can telehealth be effectively incorporated into primary care while considering diverse healthcare delivery models to ensure accessibility, affordability, and quality care for all patients?



This semester, in collaboration with RVO Health, students explored the design of primary healthcare spaces beyond traditional clinic walls. Tasked with challenging their assumptions, they were encouraged to investigate innovative ways care can be delivered across the design continuum in both digital and physical realms.

Four key healthcare delivery models were identified, and through this process, students learned to use their design skills to identify opportunities and propose solutions that are research-driven, people-centered, and rooted in a systems view of health. The course aimed to cultivate a new perspective on healthcare delivery, empowering students to envision primary care in unconventional yet impactful ways


Primary Care - International Perspective


Students conducted comprehensive research to explore and document the status of primary care across various regions of the world.
