RESEARCH, DESIGN & OUTCOMES | 2025 PDC SUMMIT

Evidence used to inform design should be timely, but research is published faster than anyone can read it. How can researchers and practitioners keep up with recent findings?

In this rapid-fire session, The Center for Health Design’s research team will use visual abstracts to present the takeaways from six recently published studies, highlighting what they’ve learned in the past year.

Participants will also learn about the open-access Knowledge Repository, walking away from this session with a better understanding of the latest research topics and usable tools to facilitate the use of peer-reviewed research during design.
