Instructors Design For Pediatric Feeding Challenges 2019
Jules Sherman, MFA Design
Jules Sherman 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 with a focus on improving safety in labor & delivery. Jules co-invented and developed a human lactation support product “Primo-Lacto: A closed system for colostrum collection,” under her company Maternal Life LLC which has recently been acquired by Lansinoh Laboratories for worldwide distribution. Lastly, she co-teaches healthcare design classes with clinicians at Stanford’s d. school.
