Text Block #2

What happens when a diverse group of leaders from healthcare, technology, and policy meet to transform both dialogue and action around type 2 diabetes?

The Problem

Over 30 million people are at risk of major health complications


Diabetes costs the US nearly $200 billion per year in direct healthcare spending

14%

of US adults have diabetes

38%

of US adults have prediabetes

83%

of US seniors have diabetes or prediabetes

Text Block #2

We need an integrated, cross-systems approach focused on prevention and behavior change to reverse these trends.

About d16

The diaTribe Foundation held its inaugural d16 Executive Innovation Lab on Diabetes and Obesity from January 13-15, 2016 in Palo Alto, CA to innovate systems-level solutions to reduce the societal burden of type 2 diabetes. d16 served to engage leaders across diverse sectors to produce innovative, effective solutions, heighten the urgency and action around diabetes, and bring a new way of thinking into the diabetes ecosystem.

 

d16 was facilitated by world expert in scalable social impact, Heather McLeod Grant, along with co-founder of Philanthropy Futures, Alexa Culwell, and innovation strategist Lisa Kay Solomon. Using elements of “design thinking,” participants were guided through collaborative workshops to innovate solutions to the most pressing challenges in type 2 diabetes.

 

Design Thinking

The concept of "design thinking" has generated an enormous amount of conversation lately. As just one example, the Harvard Business Review recently featured design thinking in its September 2015 cover story, highlighting design principles such as user empathy and prototyping, with an emphasis on cross-sector collaboration to solve complex problems. We're excited to introduce this new way of thinking and problem solving to diabetes and obesity at d16.

Our Approach

We advocate for a holistically designed, ecosystem-level approach that aims to identify root causes of the diabetes epidemic and create innovative solutions that address them on a systemic level. At d16, we did exactly that. d16’s group of experts examined the root causes of the diabetes epidemic across seven key fields, identified patterns across the board, and then ideated new solutions that could be scalable, investable, and impactful.

 

d16 represents a new way of thinking in diabetes that aims to significantly alter the way the diabetes community works together. These highly innovative solutions address the underlying causes of diabetes across all parts of the ecosystem, breaking down the silos that have long stunted progress in diabetes. The result is the potential for a greater return on investment for stakeholders and the improved health of our communities.

Together, we are going to transform the dialogue regarding type 2 diabetes.
