After two sessions of an incredibly large flow of new ideas, meeting people from around the world and from every corner of healthcare’s scope and finally taking a night tour of Washington’s most amazing monuments, I don’t think my mi…
We’ve just learned that patient’s adherence is one of the biggest problems today’s healthcare system is facing – and it is clearly a neglected one. Now there are several ways how one can improve aherence and compliance. One of them is through design. As you probably know, we are big fans of design here at MedCrunch and always seek new shiny objects and concepts that are small elements of a next-gen hospital or just make our daily lives more aesthetic. Silicon Valley has always been on the verge of making great products for the world. People and startups have been ingenial When it comes to transforming ordinary objects into aesthetic game changers – this has happend from mobile phones to thermostats. Sabi, a Palo Alto based Startup, has recently emerged with a simple, clean and effective pill dispensing system, crafted by renowned designer and entrepreneur Yves Béhar who also brought us the Jawbone Up. The company has created a so-called vitality line of pill holsters and dispensers, that not only are simple to use and thus especially suited for the elderly, but also entail functional elements that are notewothy. For example, the holster only allows to dispense a maximum of a […]
We are big fans of aesthetics and beautiful design. By that, we do not only mean better packaging but great design goes way beyond. It’s supposed to be intuitive, straight-forward clear and resamble the actual product or service.
It’s one of those evenings where you surf the internet, where you click through from site to site, from discovery to discovery with seemingly endless websites out there and then you stop in awe, because you are just happy to see people doing great things around the world. Smoking has lots of negative connotations. Apart from the obvious (negative) health implications, it is much less socially accepted than in the golden days. Now there are great minds out there that see great opportunities, but it’s uncommon that you stumble upon a company that aims to re-invent smoking. “Re-inventing” is somewhat of an oxymoron. It simply doesn’t fit in our minds and seems so wrong especially when it has to do with something that harmful. There are two major reasons why cigarettes (for the sake of simplicity and correlation of worldwide usage let’s leave out pipes, sishas et al.) have been (and still are in some parts of the world) such a tremendously successful product. 1. They are highly addictive 2. They were widely regarded as something “cool” (mostly through the entertainment industy) Being addicted and killing yourself isn’t something worth striving for – being “cool”, however, is for a lot […]
If you asked most people if they value “creativity” in their doctor or surgeon, I’m guessing most people would say “NO.” (Tell me where I’m wrong.) I used to think that there were certain professions – like medicine – where creativity is actually not a valuable attribute. I’m beginning to wonder if that’s really true. Are mistakes always bad? Most of us think that medical mistakes are all bad. That the last thing we want is for our doctor to “make a mistake”. Well, I’m beginning to think that by making mistakes “bad” we are limiting the creative thinking that we really need from doctors. Especially now. One of the big walls in my mind that was completely blasted away during my year of training as a life coach and certification in sound healing was the idea that all mistakes are “bad”. First, I heard story after story from real people describing how the biggest “mistakes” in life often turn out to yield unimaginably rich treasures later on (an assertion confirmed recently by Conan O’Brien at his visit to Google). Then, when I began making improvisational music, I realized that some of the most expressive sounds come from playing the “wrong” […]
Gelegentlich bekommen wir mit den Medikamentenretouren auch wirklich alte Packungen zurück – vielleicht von einer Haushaltsauflösung oder aus der Hausapotheke der Grossmama. Jedenfalls finde ich das unglaublich spannend die alten Packungs-designs zu sehen und mit den neuen zu vergleichen. Hier zum Beispiel Dentohexin (eine desinfizierende Mundspülung): Falls ihr eventuell auch noch irgendwo so alte Exemplare […]

Vor einigen Wochen bin ich über die Homepage eines früheren Stufenkollegen gestolpert, mit dem ich damals das Layout für unsere Abizeitung erstellt habe.
Cyrill studiert inzwischen Grafikdesign in der schönen Hansestadt Hamburch. Auf seiner Seite stellt er einige Arbeiten aus den letzten Semestern vor, bald gibt es hoffentlich auch mehr von den versprochenen Fotos zu sehen. […]
