CHICAGO, IL – Y.H. Studio is proud to announce that its groundbreaking healthcare project, Clarity, has been awarded the prestigious iF DESIGN AWARD 2026. Out of nearly 11,000 entries from 72 countries, Clarity was recognized by a 132-member jury of independent experts for its human-centric approach to medical transparency.
A Testament to Design Excellence The iF DESIGN AWARD is one of the world’s most celebrated and valued design competitions. Since 1954, it has been a global symbol of excellent design, recognizing achievements that demonstrate outstanding innovation, aesthetics, and social impact. Winning an iF award is a hallmark of quality for designers and companies alike, placing Y.H. Studio among the elite vanguard of global design leaders.
Bridging the Gap: The “Clarity” Vision “Clarity” was born from a critical necessity in modern healthcare: the need for empathy in data. Designed for iPad, Clarity translates complex clinical jargon and opaque pricing into plain language and visual summaries. By integrating insurance, discounts, and government aid into one view, it empowers patients to make informed decisions without financial hesitation.
The jury recognized Clarity’s forward-thinking “Form and Function.” Its calming palette and empathetic hierarchy transform stressful administrative processes into a guided, human experience, proving that inclusive design can remove the financial and emotional barriers in healthcare.
