IxDD Brno 2021: Solidarity & Transformation

World Interaction Design Day is an annual event where we come together as a united global community to show how interaction design improves the human condition.

This year we’ll look into topics: TRANSFORMATION AND SOLIDARITY - which are in the context of the global IXDD closely linked to the pandemic situation.
We’ll focus mainly on the concept of: Design in the Background - the areas most affected by covid events - such as education, healthcare, and travel. These have undergone the greatest transformations, but people still know little about all the changes, that happened, challenges overcome, the initiatives and projects created and what they are trying to achieve.

*Admission fee is VOLUNTARY
(There will be QR codes and cash points in the area and the proceeds will go to our partner NGOs)

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
This time we’ll meet in-person for an offline event 🤩

➡️ Necessary covid measures:
we'll check your confirmation of: vaccination against covid 19/ PCR test not older 7 days/ antigen test not older 48 hours/ evidence of having contracted covid in the last 180 day + we'd like to ask you to wear a mask inside.

2. Loono - All about prevention and VČAS app design story
   by Blanka Majnušová, Managing Director, and Otakar Hypš, Product Designer

Loono is the non-profit organisation, which focuses on educating the general public in the field of health and prevention and Blanka leads it on its mission. She has wide experience in the public health sector and has been with Loono for almost three years.

Otakar is a freelance designer helping organisations define new products, improve services and provide better user experience. He leads a team of designers working on their app.

Blanka and Oto will share with you Loono goals, its’ journey and accomplishments for past years, especially will talk about their new community mobile app VČAS, that is going to disrupt the area where health insurance companies are failing. Long-term, the app should become a hub for evidence-based knowledge of health related topics as well as a personalised motivator guiding the users toward improvements in their daily habits.

💥 As a bonus, thanks to Loono we’ll be able to chat with their dedicated educators about prevention and broaden our horizons even more.

3. Jana Hřebecká is a service designer who wants to create sustainable solutions with a positive impact on people as well as the planet

A child's loss is an unimaginable event for every parent. Unfortunately, life brings these hard moments and it is extremely important who stands by the family when they hear the news, cope with the situation, and heal themselves. Jana will tell you a story about the designer's role in social innovation in the theme of perinatal loss (child's death during the pregnancy or after the labor). This project was run by Unipa and funded by EU.
