Communicating the Unmet Need: Building a Stronger Health Tech Story

About This Session: This session introduces a series of techniques for communicating design work persuasively, drawing on narrative devices and story structures used by professional storytellers and studios like Pixar. Participants will work through guided questions to sharpen the "why" behind their own projects, grounding their work in the voices of patients, caregivers, and providers. The session closes with practical guidance on visual storytelling and tailoring a narrative to a specific audience.
