The Design Process in Global Health^a

^a As described by Design for Health.³ The first cycle, which helps design the right things, starts with discovering the challenges and needs of the people and systems to design for and converge on opportunities to overcome these challenges and address these needs. The second cycle helps design things right by developing and testing ideas based on the opportunities identified in the first cycle and then converging on and delivering a solution. The model emphasizes testing and iteration, which helps weed out ineffective ideas and prioritize impactful, desirable, and sustainable ideas.
