Why diagnostic delays cost more than time
The cost of delayed diagnosis in rare disease is often measured in years. It should also be measured in dollars, clinical capacity, and missed opportunities for better care. Rare disease affects 1 in 10 Americans, and on average, the diagnostic odyssey for a patient with rare disease costs over $220,000 in avoidable medical fees and lost income. It’s significant time and money that patients and families can’t afford to lose. And it doesn’t end there. The downstream economic impacts are als

Innovation starts at the edges
Most products, services, and systems are designed around a composite of the “average” user. That sounds logical.

Those differences can expose where products, services, and systems work well, and where they do not. Design innovation comes from many places. Accessibility should be one of them
