The Gates Foundation is working with the global public health community to help save children\u2019s lives by gaining the trust of families and informing them about how to access effective interventions through the use of the child health record<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The record is a critical component of current health information systems worldwide, containing immunization schedules and important guidelines for parents about child healthcare best practices. But, health organizations remain challenged by how to reach remote populations with this health information when the document is often issued at birth on paper, and when parents or children do not speak their country\u2019s national language or cannot read.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b><i>How might we design ways to improve how families engage with the information on the Child Health Record?<\/p>\n<p>How might we improve how it is distributed, accessed and used\u00a0in order to make it a more effective tool for health information and education throughout childhood?<\/p>\n<p><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Full Brief PDF:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bitly.com\/sdc14brief\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bitly.com\/<wbr \/>sdc14brief<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Interaction 14 conference website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/interaction14.ixda.org\/student-design-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\">interaction14.ixda.<wbr \/>org\/student-design-challenge\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>About the IxDA Student Design Challenge<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Finalists will receive free travel, accommodations, and registration to Interaction14 in Amsterdam.
