Design Thinking in Public Health

Design Thinking in Public Health is a problem-solving approach that focuses on understanding people's needs, involving them in the process, and developing innovative solutions. It emphasizes empathy—really listening to how individuals experience health challenges—and creativity to develop practical interventions. The process is iterative, meaning solutions are tested, learned from, and refined repeatedly. By centering on the user’s perspective, Design Thinking helps create more effective, acceptable, and sustainable health initiatives that better meet community needs and improve overall well-being.
