Worksession 1: Citizen Science to design for Health
building a community for future research
Paulien Melis, Embassy of Health and Sabine Wildevuur, DesignLab University of Twente
We invite you as (design) researcher, designer, policymaker, professional healthcare worker or otherwise to think along about the (responsible) futures to design for health. In 2020 the White Paper Citizen Science to Design for Health was published with recommendations for next steps. These recommendations were the start of a workshop held during DDW 2020 at the World Design Embassy of Health.
Thinking ahead: what are appropriate methods to design for health when we look at co-emerging futures? And: What does this mean for the profile and the role of future designers in the field of healthcare? The first results will be presented at this session.
Next to that we also would like to enrich the network Citizen Science to Design for Health, define further explorations, and lay the foundation for a framework and potential collaborations for a research program Citizen Science to Design for Health.
Worksession 2: When Create and Health ways of working meet
a tool for create-health research collaborations
University of Applied Sciences Utrecht: Remko van der Lugt, Wilke van Beest, Marieke Zielhuis
How can cross-disciplinary project teams combine their strengths towards e-health innovation? Within the program ‘Create Health’ of ZonMw, ten projects worked on E-health innovations for a healthy and active old age. These ten cross-disciplinary projects were studied in the cross-cutting research project CHIWAWA (Creative & Health Innovation WAys of Working Analysis).
In this workshop, the participants will work with a tool which helps project partners to discuss project goals and the route to attain these goals. When and how do we involve end-users? Whose expertise is needed in which phase? How to combine different views on what is a suitable research approach? We will illustrate this with examples from the ten projects.
This will be a high-pace workshop using a tabletop game-like setting with card sets and poster templates to guide the triangulation process. In the process you will gain understanding of the barriers and enablers that were identified in the research projects. We would like the participants to actively share their own knowledge of and/or experience with create health innovation collaborations.
Worksession 3: Co-design with vulnerable people
Approaches and challenges
Rens Brankaert and Maarten Houben, Eindhoven University of Technology and Fontys UAS
The challenges we stand for as researchers/designers in healthcare urges us to listen to all voices in society and collaborate with vulnerable people. What is the best way to codesign with this group?
During this workshop, we will give participants an insight in how you can work in co-design with different groups of vulnerable people, and what challenges you might come across.
The participants can expect concrete inspiration for approaches to apply for themselves, insights from literature/other domains regarding the inclusion of different target groups, and insight into the ethical challenges of this type of work.
We expect the active involvement of the participant by exchanging and sharing their own experiences. We will work partly plenary, and partly in small groups depending on the number of participants.
Depending on the specifics of the outcome we want to use the results for an article about the workshop for a design-oriented conference. We will inform participants if we do so and let them know what data will be used.
