The Importance Of Research To Our Lives And In Human-Centered Innovation And Design

We often overlook the importance of research in shaping everything from what we eat, to how we interact, and of course how we approach health. For millennia, research has been the thread that has held the fabric of society—from successes and innovations, even to failures that inform us what does and doesn’t work. There is no more current example than the impact of research on the COVID-19 pandemic. Picking up from the last episode's discussion, Lisa Marceau and Kristine Merz dive deep into their work in research, how they are working together, and where it intersects with design. They also talk about the different types of research, looking into observational research, clinical trials, and, most importantly, how human-centered innovation connects the dots. Going further, Lisa and Kristine then discuss some of the steps involved in research, why they are important, and where failures can occur if human-centered perspectives are ignored.
