    Boston CHI - Interactive network and time series visualizations for reasoning and communicating about data

    6:30pm to 9:00pm

    Location: 

    Audible, 101 Main Street, 6th Floor, Cambridge, MA 02142

    The modern world is awash in complex data that can contain the keys to improving our lives. The scope of this data has rapidly outpaced our capabilities to analyze and comprehend, so we turn to computers to help. However, state-of-the-art technology can only supplement the human element. People assist in each stage of data science, whether it’s data cleaning, understanding algorithm design, exploring computed results, or collaborating and sharing for decision-making. To present complex information to humans, we use visualizations that leverage our extraordinary perceptual system which can detect trends, clusters, gaps, and outliers almost instantly. Presenter: Cody Dunne, PhD, Assistant Professor, Northeastern University

    AIGA Boston- Designing for Health Care in Government

    6:30pm to 8:00pm

    Location: 

    IBM, 1 Rogers Street, Cambridge, MA 02141

    The design challenge: Improve the patient experience for 9 million veterans in the largest integrated healthcare system in the United States.

    The real challenge: Good design work in the federal government involves hurdles larger than the projects themselves. Designers encounter an environment dominated by legacy bureaucracy, culture, processes, rules, and politics. To navigate and design in this space, you must work at scale, show your value, change mindsets, and persist.

    Come learn how a small cohort of Human Innovation Fellows and designers with the Lab at the Office of Personnel Management — on detail with the Department of Veterans Affairs — are answering these challenges and rethinking what it means to make an impact. See some of their recent work and hear their experiences. Take away tactics to use in your own purposeful work.
