4 co-design success stories in healthcare

Spotlight on co-design success stories

How Bayer used co-design to bring a complex diagnosis in a humane way

Bayer's initiative to simplify the diagnosis process underscores the power of co-design in healthcare. Faced with the challenge of overwhelming and often impersonal diagnostic experiences, Bayer, alongside a dedicated design team, sought to place patients at the center of the process.

Through a thorough reevaluation of how diagnostic information is presented, they developed personalized communication tools tailored to diverse patient needs, considering factors like age, language, and prior knowledge.

This approach ensured that crucial health information was accessible and understandable, facilitating better patient engagement and empowerment right from the diagnosis stage. Read our case here and learn more about Bayer’s co-design journey.
