I’m a pediatrician and preventive medicine specialist with a masters in public health. Fast Company calls me The Doctor of the Future and one of The Top 10 Most Creative People in Health Care.

I have a design and consulting firm called The Future Well. We design products and services that have a positive impact on health and happiness. Read more about me here.

  • The Free Wheelchair Mission: Free Wheelchair Mission is an international non-profit organization dedicated to providing wheelchairs for the impoverished disabled in developing nations. I met Stefan Bucher at Design Indaba last week. He was there speaking about his Daily Monsters. He introduced me to this organization and we think it’s ingenious. We’re big fans of using off the shelf parts to solve the simple problems first. Health doesn’t need to be as complex as it is. It’s mostly about unique thinking for simple solutions that solve 90% of problems for 90% of people. Each wheelchair costs $59.20! Donate a wheelchair here.
