Mikhail Lobo

I have a background in Global Health from the University of Toronto, where I explored human-centered design to improve healthcare accessibility. My work has focused on co-designing solutions with marginalized communities, including leading an initiative at Fontbonne Ministries Mustard Seed to develop a laundry program tailored to the needs of unhoused individuals.

Currently, my Capstone Project - Project POTS focuses on co-creating solutions with physicians to address diagnostic barriers in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and improve care pathways for patients.

Beyond research, I have participated in innovation-driven initiatives, including the African Impact Challenge Health Entrepreneurs and the University Innovation Fellows (UIF) program by Stanford d.school, where I applied design thinking to healthcare challenges and interdisciplinary collaboration.
