The “Designing the World at Ignite” program will allow 10 presenters to each share their firsthand experiences, knowledge, and ideas about the design world. Ms. Skilling’s talk, entitled “Engineering Empathy for Health & Well-Being”, will explore what happens when technology evolves to replace human interactions in healthcare.
