We all know that self-care is essential. But how do we know what is right for each of us?

Consumer health innovation comes in many forms. It may eventually manifest as a new product available on a shelf, but it can also be about creating a new way to help people understand their own health. But the most impactful human-centered innovations always start with a deep understanding of people’s unmet needs and apply the principles of science-led self-care.

To make the most of any innovation, people need to understand what’s happening in their bodies and how self-care solutions can help them meet their individual health needs.  

At Bayer, we design self-care innovations with the whole person in mind. Supporting people through a journey of discovery and awareness of their bodies, symptoms, and causes empowers them to make more informed choices to manage their health.

The Science of Human-Centered Innovation

The most impactful and effective self-care innovations are built on the principles of science-led self-care and bring together three key components that help to both meet individual needs and serve the most people possible. By combining these key elements, we create innovations that transform everyday health around the world.

Inclusive Science 

No one solution will work for everyone. Embracing a diversity of needs, abilities and backgrounds allows us to develop innovations that expand access while meeting everyone’s unique needs. 

Remarkable Experiences 

Innovations that enable people to take better care of themselves only work if people want to use them. Self-care works best when it is easy to use, accessible, and enjoyable.                  

Flexible Technology 

Needs vary across markets, regions, and cultures but they derive from what unites us all—our human nature. Our products and solutions are built on global innovation platforms with the flexibility to adapt to the needs of local consumers.
