Part 8/8:
The Yona Care initiative exemplifies how thoughtful, empathetic design can transform even the most routine and uncomfortable health procedures into more humane experiences. Their work continues to push boundaries—advocating for inclusive language, better device design, and patient-centered care—ultimately aiming to make pelvic exams less traumatic and more accessible for all.
Even if their redesigned speculum does not yet reach mainstream clinical practice, their research and advocacy are making a lasting difference—saving lives by encouraging more people to prioritize their reproductive health and reducing the stigma and fear surrounding the pelvic exam.
In healthcare, as in life, understanding and empathy have the power to change the world—for the better.
