In this week's edition of Modern CEO, Stephanie Mehta discusses the vital role of user involvement in health innovation, particularly for underserved communities. Jennifer Gardy from the Gates Foundation emphasizes that innovations, like those aimed at improving sanitation, must be driven by the actual needs and insights of the users they serve. The example of the Reinvent the Toilet Challenge illustrates how community feedback during field testing can lead to better solutions that address real-world issues faced by patients, particularly women and girls. A call for greater inclusivity in innovation is central to improving global health outcomes.
"Innovation must be designed with and for the people it serves, harnessing the insights of those who best understand their communities' needs."
