noodle research + strategy

We are happy to share that the HIPs Navigator is live and making an impact! It was a pleasure collaborating with MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership, FP2030, and our partners at noodle research + strategy to create this tool that enhances accessibility and usability for family planning practitioners worldwide. We believe that intuitive and user-centered design can drive meaningful change in global health. The Navigator’s ability to streamline insights based on key objectives will empower users to find and apply high-impact practices more effectively. Check out the Navigator tool - hosted as a new pop-up feature and on the landing page of the HIPs for Family Planning website here: https://lnkd.in/eaEQX6NM A big thanks to all our partners, collaborators, and colleagues: Anne Pfitzer, Aimee Dickerson, Laura Raney, FP2030, Kevin Shane, Anna Lawton, Neha Singh, Bhavesh Bhateja, Esha Kalra, Jyoti Narayan, Anish Uddaraju #HumanCenteredDesign #UserExperienceDesign #FamilyPlanning #GlobalHealthInnovation

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming Human-Centered Design (HCD), offering incredible opportunities to create more personalized and effective user experiences.? However, this powerful technology also presents a complex web of ethical considerations that designers must carefully navigate.? As we increasingly rely on AI to inform design decisions, it's crucial to address the potential for bias, privacy violations, and a lack of transparency.? In this post, we explore how responsible design practices are essential to ensure that AI-powered HCD benefits all users and avoids unintended harm. cc: Anna Lawton, Kevin Shane https://lnkd.in/efWGfhMC #AI #HCD #humancentereddesign #innovation #collaboration #tech #ethics #dataethics #research #designresearch #qualitativeresearch

Human-Centered Design (HCD) puts the user at the heart of the design process. It's about understanding their needs, motivations, and pain points to create products and services that are truly valuable and enjoyable. But what if we could supercharge HCD with the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI)?? In this post, we explore how AI is rapidly transforming how we approach design, offering exciting new possibilities for automating tasks, analyzing data, and generating deeper insights than ever before. cc: Anna Lawton, Kevin Shane https://lnkd.in/dBqsdyYP #AI #innovation #tech #collaboration #empathy #compassion #UX #userexperience #hcd #humancentereddesign #systemsthinking #design #research #designresearch #qualitativeresearch

Healthcare is a deeply human experience, yet the systems and processes involved can often feel impersonal and complex.? This is where Human-Centered Design (HCD) offers a powerful approach. In this post we explore how, by prioritizing the needs, experiences, and perspectives of patients, families, and healthcare providers, HCD can revolutionize healthcare delivery, leading to improved patient experiences, better outcomes, and a more compassionate system. cc: Anna Lawton, Kevin Shane https://lnkd.in/gyFaKT7v #design #designresarch #qualitativeresearch #research #hcd #humancentereddesign #designthinking #designdoing #innovation #health #healthcare #empathy #impact

The future of remote research is not just about replicating traditional methods online. It's about leveraging technology to develop new and innovative approaches to understanding human behavior.? As technology continues to evolve, we can expect to see even more sophisticated tools and techniques emerge, further expanding the possibilities of remote research. In this post, we explore the unique challenges, opportunities, and the exciting future of remote research. cc: Anna Lawton, Kevin Shane https://lnkd.in/eh5Sx4Gj #research #qualitativeresearch #futureofwork #remotework #tech #innovation #collaboration

As neuroscience technology becomes more accessible and affordable, we can expect to see its wider adoption in the HCD process.? By combining neuroscience insights with traditional HCD methods, designers can create truly user-centered experiences that are not only functional and usable but also deeply engaging and emotionally resonant.? In this post, we explore how the future of HCD is undoubtedly intertwined with the continued exploration of the human brain and its interaction with the world around us. cc: Anna Lawton, Kevin Shane https://lnkd.in/eRY8PczQ #design #research #designresearch #qualitativeresearch #hcd #humancentereddesign #designthinking #designdoing #neuroscience #ux #userexperience

As dog “parents”, we know firsthand how much our four-legged, furry friends impact our daily lives and even inspire us to be better people; they’re a constant source of entertainment, and provide a daily opportunity to observe the behaviors of something totally different to ourselves. While it might seem unconventional, our furry friends, particularly dogs, can offer surprising insights into the qualities of a successful qualitative researcher. In this post, we take a closer look at some key traits that our canine companions embody and that can be applied to the field of qualitative research. cc: Anna Lawton, Kevin Shane https://lnkd.in/eNZQpcVA #research #qualitativeresearch #innovation #inspiration #collaboration #empathy #curiosity #dogs

By carefully measuring the impact of human-centered design (HCD), organizations can demonstrate its value and secure ongoing investment. By focusing on key metrics and addressing challenges, businesses can harness the power of HCD to drive innovation and achieve long-term success. In this post, we share some key metrics and KPIs to consider when measuring the impact of HCD. cc: Anna Lawton, Kevin Shane https://lnkd.in/edXKp4tV #research #designresearch #qualitativeresearch #design #hcd #humancentereddesign #innovation #impact #evaluation #KPIs #deisgnthinking #designdoing

The future of work is rapidly evolving, driven by technological advancements and changing societal expectations. To thrive in this new era, organizations must adopt a human-centered approach to workplace design, employee experience, and organizational development. In this blog post, we explore ways to approach each of these as we evolve our understanding of work and design its future. https://lnkd.in/dVn7zsWp cc: Anna Lawton, Kevin Shane #futureofwork #hcd #humancentereddesign #designthinking #designdoing #innovation #empathy #collaboration #qualitativeresearch #research
