The Round Table of Health Inclusivity was designed to convey data from the Human Library in an immersive, engaging and ultra-inclusive way, that would work for everyone in society.

Data was displayed in different formats and styles on the interactive table, ensuring that people with physical or cognitive disabilities and people with neurodivergence could easily understand the data.

The table is a living example of how the world should design for inclusivity and exists to challenge healthcare decision-makers through both its data and its form.

65% think the table’s interactive design makes it easier to understand information.

Haleon’s mission is to deliver better everyday health with humanity.

The brand is committed to helping tackle challenges to health inclusivity by empowering 50 million people a year to be more included in opportunities for better everyday health by 2025.

Haleon aims to establish a thought leadership position on health inclusivity and convene and catalyse action to improve it. To set the foundation, it supported the world’s first health inclusivity index by Economist Impact which measures the inclusiveness of healthcare systems across 40countries worldwide.

Challenge:

Too many people are held back from better everyday health. It’s being driven by a lack of knowledge, understanding and support, as well as bias and underrepresentation in healthcare systems.

Brief:

• Launch the Health Inclusivity Index

• Generate reach by creating a sense of urgency amongst policy makers and make it relevant to people who experience exclusion.

Huge swathes of the population and even entire nations are disenfranchised in Healthcare provision due to long standing biases, disability access issues and political game playing. Even more confounding is that the people who experience these injustices are very rarely invited into the rooms and onto the round tables where these issues are discussed. Haleon, the newly formed consumer healthcare company, want to combat this problem in the Health & Pharma industry.

Insight:

Most discussions on health policy happen behind closed doors, excluding the people most affected by any of the decisions made.

This especially applies to major research or policy announcements such as international indexes, which are often launched at inaccessible round tables.

Idea:

Successful healthcare is inclusive, so to launch the Health Inclusivity Index, we created a new kind of ‘round table’ experience.

A data-led, interactive table bringing together the voices of people who often face bias, prejudice, challenges to healthcare accessibility and health literacy.

Their stories and lived experiences were told through engaging content and featured alongside key Index data on the table – but in a truly universal and inclusive format, accessible to all.

Every aspect of the table’s design represented and solved for a different challenge related to accessibility, challenging decision-makers to consider the unrepresented.

Strategy:

Engage with policymakers, NGOs, Haleon colleagues and healthcare professionals.

Strategic Approach:

To gain the most amount of attention for the Health Inclusivity Index at launch, we created a campaign centrepiece moment which represented both literally and metaphorically the challenges of inclusivity and accessibility of health data that the Index promotes.

Sharing stories of people who experience bias and prejudice, we made people who experience health exclusion the protagonists of the healthcare conversation, putting them at the centre of the ‘round table’ for the first time.

Data driven elements:

The table was built using research and data from Economist Impact’s world first Inclusivity Index and personal stories from The Human Library.

It was designed to share those stories in the most accessible way possible, creating a living example of how the world could and should design for inclusivity, while challenging healthcare decision-makers to consider the unrepresented.

The data behind the table is from Economist Impact’s Health Inclusivity Index and The HumanLibrary.

We took that data and humanised it to create an interactive data experience which would challenge healthcare decision-makers around inclusivity.

Every aspect of the interactive table’s design represented and solved for a different challenge related to accessibility, creating a living example of how we should design for inclusivity and challenging decision-makers to consider the unrepresented.

Data presentation and integration considerations included (but were not limited to) wheelchair accessibility, hearing loop, font selection and AR tracked tiles to support people with intellectual disabilities. These were key components in the organising, display and visualisation of the data.

Guests were able to explore personal stories and index findings in the most accessible way possible, experiencing first-hand what a world that designs for inclusivity could look like.
