Western developed health and care policy is shifting from a patriarchal medical model to co-managed integrated approach. Meanwhile, the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) transforming manufacturing in line with digital consumer revolution. Digital initiatives are beginning use some of same capabilities optimize healthcare provision. However, this usually limited self-management as part an organization-centric delivery model. True co-management integration other organizations people...
This paper shares key learnings and emerging principles on ways of enabling genuine participation from young people with learning disabilities in co-design. Reviewing previous research focusing co-design disabilities, we highlight gaps including – a lack approaches engaging throughout process; limited examples lived experience engagement creative conceptual decision-making. We present our work to design game-based tool, focus the process. The illustrates situated, tailored Participatory...
Eating disorders (EDs) are serious, often chronic, conditions associated with pronounced morbidity, mortality, and dysfunction increasingly affecting young people worldwide. Illness progression, stages recovery trajectories of EDs still poorly characterised. The STORY study dynamically longitudinally assesses different (restricting; bingeing/bulimic presentations) illness durations (earlier; later stages) compared to healthy controls. Remote measurement technology (RMT) active passive...
Abstract Background With most mental health problems established during childhood/adolescence, young people must be a key focus of public approaches. Despite the range factors known to influence health, evidence for effective interventions is lacking this age group. This study aimed define priorities future intervention-focused research support youth by engaging with transdisciplinary stakeholder groups. Methods Our coproduction approach involved priority-setting workshops people,...
Background: It is widely recognized that patients have increased anxiety before elective surgery, however, previous research investigating the effect of preassessment clinics (PACs) on levels has been limited specifically to patient information literature or multimedia use, rather than consultation process itself. The aim was investigate attendance at PAC had patients' levels, associated with their subsequent surgery and anesthetic. Materials Methods: This survey consisted a cross-sectional,...
There has been an increasing focus on Participatory Design (PD) and design research involving 'vulnerable groups' sensitive topics in recent years. Existing approaches, however, working with discrete and/or topics, limited work capturing shared learnings key principles across these. In this position paper, we discuss our specifically focusing enabling participation from people perceived as vulnerable to engage sharing themes project examples three different contexts. We present a proposal...
Until recently, the Western biomedical paradigm has been effective in delivering health care, however this model is not positioned to tackle complex societal challenges or solve current problems facing care and delivery. The future of medicine requires a shift patient-centric so doing Internet significant role play. disciplines Health Web Science Medicine 2.0 are pivotal approach. This viewpoint paper argues that these disciplines, together with field design, can challenges. Drawing ideas...
For healthcare innovations to be successful, the voices of those receiving or delivering such need heard much earlier in design process. This is not easy as there are likely multiple stakeholders involved, and their different backgrounds make it difficult challenge evaluate potential innovation early stage development. paper positions Experience Lab a means co-creating sustainable, innovative solutions challenges. The offers participants, both healthcare, opportunity engage process, share...
This paper presents a model to guide the design of participatory (PD) projects, which was generated through methodological reflection on programme digital health and care research. Building wide use term spaces within PD literature theory, comprises seven that can be designed support diverse stakeholders engage in process. The encourages capacity participants critically creatively with concepts being proposed, order process scaffold participation. Aiming practitioners researchers identify...
For people living with a life-limiting condition it is challenging to contribute the design of future services due limited research foregrounding meaningful engagement 'vulnerable groups' in co-design. This paper shares findings and critical reflections on sensitively engaging lived experience palliative care transitions, making their experiences visible legitimate co-design process. presents an asset-based approach for reframing 'vulnerability', visual narrative tools facilitate...
Experience Labs are design-led spaces for co-creating preferable futures by bringing academic, business and civic stakeholders to work together with citizens using a participatory design approach. Differing value systems of stakeholders, however, can pose challenges when working collaboratively. support exchange co-production values among diverse making them articulate visible through design, resolve conflict meaningful decision-making towards progressing ideas whilst integrating...
Designed Engagement uses design methods and skills to transform the way we talk people in community. We go where are: designing positive thought provoking public engagement stimulate creative dialogue explore new ways of addressing societal challenges. Involving around changes policy services is a key target for makers, however traditional approaches offer little scope creativity meaningful engagement. Design brings wealth expertise create engaging experiences, facilitate dialogue, translate...

Experience Laboratories are at the core this led developed by Design Innovation Glasgow School Art. Labs provide way working collaboratively within contexts through process exploration, co-design co-creation, rapid prototyping ideas. Bring together academic, business civic partners, opportunity for extreme...
Objectives Providing access to hospice services will become increasingly difficult due the pressures of an ageing population and limited resources. To help address this challenge, a small number called Virtual Hospice have been established. This paper presents early-stage design work on improve provided by (Highland Hospice) serving largely remote rural in Scotland, UK. Methods The study was structured as series Experience Labs with Highland staff, healthcare professionals patients. employ...
