Sentier is a research and design agency dedicated to providing organizations with user-centric solutions supported by data. Systematicity by Design: Creating a Holistic Design System for Sentier Strategic Resources The deliverable of the project would be a accessibility design framework to guide future work. I am in the process of reviewing existing relevant literature, understanding Apple and Google's human interfaces guidelines for accessibility, exploring different accessibility testing plug-ins by Figma to be able to evaluate the current mobile app prototype's accessibility. In order to ensure that this digital platform performs the same functions, achieves the same outcomes, and requires the same amount of time and effort for those with or without disabilities, my work centres around improving the accessibility of the platform. A mental health app may not fulfil its intended purpose without weighing accessibility in design. Their research engages a fundamental question: how do we design more compelling tele-health experiences for humans? In this project, IMI is transforming primary research with mental health professionals, community-based health organisations, and young people to design a digital platform that points to a tech-enhanced future of mental health care marked by social support, de-stigmatisation, and behavioural activation.

Among other things, the team learned that young people are leading the way to a mental health care future marked by the peer-to-peer health experience and inventive uses of digital platforms. To address the mental health crisis in the United States, the team at Institute for Media Innovation at the Moody College of Communication adopted a design thinking approach to better understand the barriers to accessing more viable forms of care. Improving the accessibility of a peer-led mental health support app

To do so, I rounded up a diverse team of IBM designers, facilitated recurring sessions and workshops, advocated for design crit, and completed a number of deliverables such as Figma presentation templates and a formal sign-up. My mission is to rekindle excitement for design crit, increase sign-ups, lessen pressure on presenters and facilitators, and eventually create one consistent IBM crit system. Participants feel pressured to present or struggle to find value in the activity, and in the end, responsibility tends to fall on the shoulders of facilitators. However, not all teams have adopted crit and existing crit processes differ vastly. It's a crucial method of receiving feedback, sharing domain knowledge, maintaining organizational consistency, and gaining vision on other teams' work. The explanations from our model can be used as a tool to aid physicians in making decisions that can greatly improve the care that patients receive.ĭeveloping a Consistent IBM Design Crit SystemĬritique is an important step in the design process and one that is practiced at IBM. Currently, we are using Shapley diagrams to visualize our explanations. Our goal is to design with a focus on authenticity with a long-term mindset of patients becoming our target users. LOS measures are affected by many different factors such as type of admission, type of insurance/ lack of insurance, age, pre-existing conditions, diagnosis, etc. The LOS of a patient admitted to a hospital can be a pivotal measure in the overall health of the patient. This project focuses on designing an explainable AI (XAI) application that can predict length of stay (LOS) of patients admitted into hospitals.
