As members of the International Academy for Design and Health, we have a major goal this year to educate and enlighten professionals, government, corporate organisations, and the general public, on the impact of design on health.
We look forward to working and partnering with major stakeholders in the design and health industry, to promoting human health and wellbeing through design.
