Humana Design Director to Deliver Keynote at Medtronic’s Annual Global Conference

We are excited to announce that Gerry Scullion, Director of Humana Design, will be delivering a keynote at todays Medtronic’s Annual Global Conference. Medtronic, a global leader in medical technology, hosts this prestigious event to bring together innovators, healthcare professionals, and thought leaders. This year, the conference will focus on the evolving landscape of medical technology, with a special emphasis on human-centered design (HCD) in healthcare. Gerry's presentation, titled *Evolving Practices of Human-Centered Design*, will explore new methodologies and strategies for integrating HCD in medical innovation.

At Humana Design, we are dedicated to fostering meaningful user experiences by placing human needs and empathy at the core of our design approach. Gerry’s keynote will provide insight into how healthcare companies, like Medtronic, can enhance product development by extending the principles of human-centered design beyond the traditional scope. By focusing not only on patient outcomes but also on the holistic needs of healthcare professionals and support systems, this approach drives better innovation and sustainable healthcare solutions.

One of the key aspects Gerry will address is how to ensure that HCD adapts to the fast-evolving world of healthcare technology. The talk will highlight the importance of cross-functional collaboration and the role of user research in creating systems that are not only technologically advanced but also deeply empathetic to end users. By aligning design thinking with the challenges of modern healthcare, Gerry aims to inspire attendees to broaden their perspectives on how HCD can be leveraged to improve lives globally.

We are honored that Medtronic has recognized the importance of human-centered design by inviting Gerry to share his expertise at such a significant event. The keynote represents a pivotal moment for Humana Design as we continue to champion design practices that lead to innovative, people-first solutions in the healthcare industry.
