Our Trial is a joint project with Cedars-Sinai to create awareness around oncology clinical trials for typically underrepresented groups. This was a team effort between myself and two interaction designers. When briefed by Cedars-Sinai, the hospital mentioned how African American, Latinx, and Korean communities were among some of the communities most underrepresented in clinical trials. Upon research, our team discovered that this is due mostly to mistrust of the medical system. To establish trust, our team decided to create communities and shared spaces where clinical trial patients can speak openly to those within their same community. Our Trial took form through an app to connect users, but was also theorized as a lounge space and program within hospitals.
