Radioactive Blueberries: A Glimpse into the Future of Fruit

A global study showed that the number of people in the UK dying before they reach 75 was worryingly high (the UK ranked 12th of 19 EU countries). Equally, levels of early death varied hugely between the regions of England, demonstrating that where we live can impact how long we live. The Secretary of State for Health made tackling premature mortality a key priority. He issued a call to action, vowing to save 30,000 lives in 7 years. He commissioned Public Health England to make the relevant data transparent and available to all. The goal was to generate debate and awareness of the issue across multiple audiences whilst inspiring intervention from local government to build healthier populations. This gave rise to Longer Lives, a new website providing the information and insight needed to facilitate better health and reduce premature mortality. The team, a partnership between Public Health England (PHE) and SapientNitro, delivered a compelling solution in a matter of weeks.

ZocDoc's purpose is to empower patients to be more engaged and empowered with their healthcare planning and decision-making.ZocDoc is a digital platform that provides patients unprecedented access to healthcare. ZocDoc's core feature, online booking, enables patients to find great doctors who take their insurance, view those doctors' availability online, and instantly book an appointment with the doctors they choose.ZocDoc goes even further by providing tools that empower patients to complete their medical/registration forms online, make follow-up appointments, and manage their ongoing health care. Whereas most healthcare technologies focus on building software for physicians and often treat the patient user experience as an afterthought, ZocDoc's focus is on making the entire patient-doctor relationship easier, more transparent, and above all more patient-centric.In fact, the driving philosophy behind ZocDoc's design is "Patients First". The goal is to transform how we think about healthcare by, for the first time ever, putting patients truly in control.

This is a project that explores the realm of programming and art education for young children, trying to bring these two disciplines together in a fun and playful way. The aim is to allow children to express themselves creatively and at the same time explore and understand basic concepts of coding and programming. From the idea of creating a tool for education, this project has evolved, throughout the iterative design process of prototyping and testing, into a toolbox for personal exploration and discovery of Art and technology.

To continue innovating our banking mobile application experience, we designed "Blue," a virtual assistant that enables financial transactions to be made by voice and text. Thanks to this experience, we can provide closer assistance and self-service to 10.7 M people.The users of BBVA are very diverse, both in terms of age, income, and experience with technology. Blue allows them to interact through a chat window in the application with voice and text, enabling new forms of usage to decide which is best for them.We had a great challenge because it was necessary to consider the linguistic variety of our country and design the training of the AI and the conversations that would impact the vast majority of the users, regardless of their social, educational, or geographical conditions.

Think about your last doctor’s visit — it may have been last week, last month, or even last year. Now, think about exactly what was said during that visit. Which medications did your doctor prescribe? What were the next steps? If you’re like most people, it’s often difficult to remember all of the details. That’s where Abridge comes in. Abridge helps people stay on top of their health and brings more compassion and confidence to every step of a person’s health journey. It helps people capture the details of their care so they can follow through on their doctor’s recommendations and gain more peace of mind. When surveyed, patients reported forgetting 40%+ of their conversations with doctors. The parts they forgot? Everything in the middle and next steps — some of the most critical parts of the visit.

“The Universe is made of stories, not of atoms.” – Muriel Rukeyser, Poet. Everything in the world has already been discovered. But for a child, that’s not actually true, everything has to be discovered from the start. Today, urban children are spending time indoors more than ever before. Parents and educators are concerned that young children are not using their senses actively and don’t have enough possibilities for explorative learning. Current play experiences invite children to look at new, fictional worlds, which causes them to stop using their wild imaginations. With this project I wanted to ask, instead of providing new things for children to look at, what if we could equip the children with new ways to see and explore the world with?
