I fear being patient, being helpless before my time, being made ignorant when I want to know, being made to sit when I wish to stand, or being alone when I need to hold my wife’s hand. I fear being forced to eat what I do not wish to eat, being named in ways I do not wish to be named, or being told when I wish to be asked. You can call it 'Patient-Centeredness' if you choose, but I suggest to you that this is the core. It is that property of care that allows me to assert my humanity, my individuality, and my uniqueness. It is not a route to the point; it is the point.

This research project started as an attempt to explore the healthcare space and the role of design researchers within it, understanding the existing challenges and potential.
The exploration led to reading people's stories online, listening to their journeys one-on-one, and finding ways to make these voices and stories visible to the healthcare mainstream. Additionally, by making people's voices and needs more visible, the project aims to foster collaboration among different silos in healthcare, enabling them to better understand and learn from each other, ultimately creating a more equitable healthcare future together.

In practice, most medicine is 10 parts culture to every one part real science. And from a medical anthropologist’s point of view, a good deal of what happens in the healthcare system we have all grown up with is invisible to most clinicians. Imagine that!
