Empathy is at the heart of designing robust solutions. Challenge yourself and see the world of maternal health and new life from someone else’s vantage point. Maybe it’s a story from someone who has learned through experience in a really different environment, or has a multi-dimensional viewpoint on what it means to be “a mom”. Do your best to immerse yourself in a different perspective and then share your experience.
