László Herczeg

Fellow

László is a Care Activist and Designer who has been working in the area of health and care for two decades. Spending 8 years at the design team of Philips Healthcare, where he has been designing and developing complex imaging and home care systems. In 2008, he co-founded fuelfor, a healthcare specialist design consultancy working with a wide variety of international players within the health and care sector. In 2017, he co-founded The Care Lab, a collaborative platform that uses human-centered design practices to rethink and redesign care models and solutions for our societies and care systems. Their vision of care is as an equitable, proactive, and compassionate experience that is widely accessible and that forms an integral part of everyday life, from birth to death. László’s work is driven by a strong empathy for the healthcare experiences of patients, caregivers, and clinical professionals. Understanding the boundaries in design for health care, from safety and clinical workflow requirements to the economic constraints that impact the designed lifespan of solutions, he finds ways to maximize the innovation potential with a design response that adds clinical and business value, whilst respecting human value in complex healthcare contexts. He holds a Master of Arts degree from the Academy of Arts and Design in Budapest, including study at the University of Arts and Design in Helsinki.
