ihmislähtöisten

ihmislähtöisten is a Finnish word that translates to "human-centric" or "people-centered" in English. It is an adjective used to describe approaches, designs, systems, or philosophies that prioritize human needs, experiences, and well-being. The term emphasizes placing individuals at the core of consideration when developing solutions or making decisions.

In various contexts, "ihmislähtöisten" signifies a departure from purely technical, economic, or institutional perspectives. For instance, ihmislähtöisten design refers to the process of creating products, services, or environments that are intuitive, accessible, and enjoyable for users. This often involves user research, empathy, and iterative testing to ensure that the final outcome meets the needs of the intended audience.

Similarly, an ihmislähtöisten approach to urban planning would focus on creating cities that are livable, sustainable, and promote social interaction, rather than solely on infrastructure or traffic flow. In healthcare, ihmislähtöisten practices mean treating patients with dignity, respect, and involving them in their own care decisions. The underlying principle is that the success or effectiveness of any endeavor should ultimately be measured by its positive impact on people.
