YouTube Webinar: Heal Without Harm – Introducing the Circular Healthcare Flows Visual

How can circularity be integrated into the design of medical devices from the very beginning? In our first DiCE Design Webinar, Jeremy Faludi and Tamara Hoveling from Delft University of Technology introduced the Circular Healthcare Flows (CHFs) visual: a practical framework developed to help designers, researchers, manufacturers, and healthcare stakeholders understand where and how circular strategies can be applied throughout the life cycle of a medical device. Whether you are involved in medical device development, healthcare innovation, sustainability, or circular economy initiatives, this webinar will provide a practical introduction to using the Circular Healthcare Flows visual as a common language for designing more circular healthcare systems.
