Fashioning Health Care: Humanizing the experience for breast cancer patients
Feb 26, 2024 Season 4 Episode 2
Toronto Metropolitan University

A lot of things about being a breast cancer patient can feel dehumanizing, but one thing that can change is what patients are given to wear on their chest. 

In this episode, we speak with patient advocate Jennifer Schultz and Jessica Mudry, director of the Healthcare User Experience (HUE) Lab at TMU, about applying humanities thinking — like fashion design — when it comes to finding patient-centred solutions to health care challenges.
