Healthcare in Shape Symposium 2025

Billions are invested in healthcare innovation each year, yet most promising solutions never scale beyond pilots. Not because the technology fails, but because they don’t connect with real user needs. Design bridges this gap. By working closely with patients and professionals from day one, designers create solutions that are human-centered, contextually relevant, and ready to implement. This is how innovation moves from promise to practice—delivering real value where it matters most.

On 25 November 2025, TU Delft’s Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering brings together healthcare professionals, designers, researchers, policymakers, and innovators for its annual Healthcare in Shape Symposium. With over 30 years leading healthcare design innovation, we’ll share the latest insights, practical tools, and connections that drive real transformation in healthcare.
