Reimagine the Child Health Record with the Gates Foundation

Records for Life is a design competition by The Gates Foundation to reimagine the child health record. 

“The Gates Foundation is seeking creative individuals or teams to re-examine the current child health record and design new ways to accurately track vaccine doses, increase ease of interpretation and use, and incite behavior change to make the record a valued asset for health professionals and families alike.

To encourage participation and ensure maximum impact, the foundation will recognize the top entries – selected by a finalist panel including Melinda Gates (co-chair, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), Dr. Margaret Chan (Director-General, WHO), Dr. Anthony Lake (Executive Director, UNICEF), Robert Fabricant (VP, Frog Design), Jocelyn Wyatt (co-lead and Executive Director, IDEO.org) and Dr. Walt Orenstein (Professor of Medicine, Emory) — with awards of up to $50,000. 

Award winners may have part or all of the top designs piloted and adopted in as many as 10 countries by 2018.”
