Abstract

Global health practitioners and designers recognize that real questions remain around the application of human-centered design in global health. This supplement seeks to clarify its value and document lessons learned, while also distilling and demystifying design. We hope the supplement can act as an inspiration in building a shared vision of how design can advance impact in global health.
