EP 99: Designing Caregiving | Edith Elliott and Shahed Alam

How can we design for trust? What is the most transformative force
in healthcare? On today's episode, you're going to learn how
students at a design class at Stanford started Noora Health. Edith
Elliott and Shahed Alam are Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Noora Health,
an international non-profit that improves health outcomes and
strengthens health systems by equipping patients and their loved
ones with essential caregiving skills. Working across 300+ health
facilities in India and Bangladesh, Noora Health turns hospital
hallways and waiting rooms into classrooms to deliver
fit-for-purpose, high-quality training for post-surgical,
post-delivery, and general care, then follows up with families at
home using mobile messaging technologies. To date, Noora Health's
programs have reached nearly 2 million patients and caregivers.
Noora Health was named a 2022 TED Audacious Project grantee and
recipient of the 2022 Skoll Award for Social Innovation. Episode
