2021 student service design challenge - design future-oriented
services and improve the lives of many
About this challenge
This
Student Service Design Challenge is a global design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of
designers. It's open to current design students, and is initiated by Philips Experience Design, as part of its mission to
involve young designers in finding people-centered and future-oriented services for people who need care.
With
this challenge younger generations – over 50% of the people in the world are younger than 27 – take part in shaping the future
of care, and designing for people's health, well-being and welfare. That is why we invite design students to explore current
care situations and think about what they would do to improve them. Their unbiased, playful and uninhibited approach may lead
to new, disruptive ideas, increasing the chance to deliver on the promise of value-based care: providing the right care to
the people who need it, at the right time, in a convenient, affordable, easy and accessible way, and – if possible – at the
lowest cost.
