How the iPad Pro Changed How I Write

October 7, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

About a year ago I started writing more seriously on my iPad. For a long time I had swore that it wouldn't be possible. I grew up writing around a ritualistic space that involved the hum of a hard drive anchored to a desk running Microsoft Word.

You Don’t Understand What You Can’t Draw

August 18, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

(Maybe a bad example but you get the point). In the space of doctors creating (or modifying) stuff is Wikiproject Medicine. The brainchild of UCSF's Public Physician, Amin Azzam, Wikiproject ...

I've always suggested that public thinking is how the world understands health professionals. More importantly writing is how I understand me. How can I afford not to shape my ideas?

Design and Medicine’s Creative Class

August 3, 2017 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: < 1 minute

As I suggested in 2014, we are seeing the rise of a creative class in medicine. These are health professionals hell bent on making, breaking, and bending healthcare. Enter Bon Ku and Joyce Lee in today's New York Times - Design Thinking for Doctors and Nurses. They see the world differently. More importantly they see the problems of medicine differently. Then they ... Continue Reading about Design and Medicine’s Creative Class
