Design Thinking

Design Thinking is a process of creative problem solving that engages the people that will be most affected by the solution; in healthcare, this is often patients and family members. The Aikens Innovation Academy embraces the process of Design Thinking because it utilizes the collaboration of faculty, staff, trainees, patients, and families to develop solutions that better patient care.
