Jules works with organizations, medical professionals and engineers to identify unmet needs that improve patient experience, efficacy and work-flow. She is interested in human factors issues during medical procedures, communication style in an emergency clinical setting, and product design solutions that empower the patient and healthcare workers. Currently she is collaborating with an interdisciplinary team at The Center for Advanced Pediatric & Perinatal Education at Stanford supported by a 4-year AHRQ grant. Our focus is improving safety in labor & delivery. In addition, she have recently launched the lactation support product “Primo-Lacto: A closed system for colostrum collection,” under her company Maternal Life LLC. Lastly, she co-teaches healthcare design classes with clinicians at Stanford’s d. school.
Kyra has founded several healthcare start-ups, spanning behavior health, population health, and mobile health. She has designed behavior change programs, big data algorithms, billion dollar products, mobile health apps, and evidence-based studies in mind-body and metabolic medicine. All of her designs, whether for at-risk teens or seniors, are rooted in the belief that true caring is our greatest value.
Dr. Bobinet currently co-teaches courses at Stanford School of Medicine on patient engagement and empowerment, and health design with Dr. Larry Chu, founder of MedicineX. She also studies in Dr. BJ Fogg’s Persuasive Tech Lab at Stanford, to whom she gives absolute credit as the founder of “behavior design”.
Dr. Bobinet received her Masters in Public Health at Harvard University, specializing in Healthcare Management, Technology-enabled Behavior Change, and Population Health Management. She received her medical degree from the UCSF School of Medicine.
