In this episode of DOCSF 2025 Previews, we feature a conversation with Dennis Boyle, founding member of IDEO and long-time advocate for human-centered design. Dennis shares why empathy and design thinking are key when bringing technologies like AI into healthcare, not just to automate tasks, but to make meaningful improvements for real people.

He brings inspiring stories from his “Design for Health” course at Stanford, where students team up with patients to create real-world impact. We also get a preview of IDEO’s interactive session returning to DOCSF 2025, so valuable that it’s the only one being offered twice!

This episode is a thoughtful reminder that as innovation moves forward, people must always stay at the center.
