Systems Design for Health
Taking a systems approach to health includes the deliberate upstream design of the places we live, learn, work and play to support living in ways that keep people well - physically, emotionally, financially, and socially. In this course, students explore upstream systems that influence health and then apply their learning to generate ideas for making everyday life healthier on campus. This year’s challenge, developed in partnership with Stanford Arts, will center around how to incorporate experiences of art and culture into daily life, while promoting fun, healthy behaviors. This course is designed as an intensive one-week design sprint.
