Rochester, MN - Transform

First, who comes up with these silly names?

Anyhow, I’m sure you all have seen the ad in the banner at the top of the page. Or maybe I give too much access to my cookies. Either way, design conference for healthcare … yada, yada, yada … here’s the link - http://centerforinnovation.mayo.edu/transform/

I’m in.

If you are in health care or interested in it, this was worth the price of admission.

The good:
I got quite a few nuggets from several resources that I can drill into if I want to do a deep dive. Everyone was very generous with revealing knowledge/methodology/etc.

The bad:
A bit too much glad-handing of design and design thinking for my taste. Also, making it sound like it is the latest and greatest thing to hit health care pretty much invalidates the 20 years of my work.

Personal to this forum:
I think I met yo’s boss, or one of his bosses. Also met Allan Chochinov. Seem like nice fellows, but I only had 3-4 minutes of conversation with each.

I thought about submitting a video on some of the HF research I’m involved in but there was NO information whatsoever on their site.

Sounded fun though. I know some people from the sparc thing down there too.
