Free WebinarImagining Health Futures
Tuesday, November 4 from 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET
How can we think beyond today’s challenges to imagine the futures we actually want in health and social care? Join us and explore the emerging field of health design fiction: a creative, provocative practice that blends strategic foresight, design, and storytelling to explore possible futures of health, care, and medicine in this free webinar.
In this free webinar, Sean Park will guide you through examples of how design fiction is being used to spark conversation, inspire innovation, and surface the ethical, social, and systemic implications of emerging trends. Together, we’ll explore how this imaginative practice can expand the horizons of health professionals, educators, and leaders — and why cultivating futures literacy is increasingly vital.
This webinar is ideal for healthcare providers, health designers, educators, administrators, and system leaders. Register today to secure your spot online.
