Welcome to The Designer Will See You Now podcast! In our first episode, meet us - the hosts and longtime designer-friends - Ola and Bella. We give some background on our personal journeys into design, what inspired us to start a health tech podcast, and most importantly why we think you’ll be inspired to listen. Instead of a tech conference, think of this as chatting with your pals who are passionate about why things work the way they do, and what can make them better. Let’s discuss design philosophies, what makes good healthtech, and why there is no perfect word for ‘users’ (patients? people?). We can’t wait to meet you!
