Towards a shared understanding of genuine co-design with people with lived experience: reflections from co-designing for relational and transformational experiences in health and social care in the UK Raman, Sneha and French, Tara Co-design is becoming a well-known term outside of the design domain, reflecting a growing awareness of the potential and value of applying a design-led process to address complex social and systemic issues. However, an increase in the adoption of ‘co-design’ methods has also led to multiple and sometimes conflicting understanding of what it means and how it is enacted in practice. ‘What does genuine co-design mean? What does it look like? And how does it make a difference?’ – we have been exploring these questions through our participatory design practice and research spanning over seven years. In this chapter, we share our learnings and reflections on genuine co-design, using examples to articulate characteristics of co-design and conditions for enabling genuine participation in the co-design process. We invite further dialogue with the wider practice and research communities to develop a shared understanding of what is (and what is not) genuine co-design.

Patient co-design of digital health storytelling tools for multimorbidity: A phenomenological study Cummings, Marissa, Bradley, Jay and Teal, Gemma Recent studies within the UK have indicated that there is a need to incorporate patient stories into health records, to improve quality and continuity of care. This is particularly important when treating people with multiple long‐term health conditions (multimorbidity), whose health stories can be particularly complex. The objective of the study was to understand the goals and requirements of people with multimorbidity for digital health storytelling tools. The findings indicate that people living with multimorbidity would use health storytelling tools to understand and reflect on their journeys, convey their experiences to others and advocate for themselves against scepticism. Future research could explore other areas such as collaborative health storytelling or the technical implementation of tools. View resource Next item Previous item Home / Resources (Item) /

Experience Labs: Co-creating Health and Care Innovations using Design Tools and Artefacts French, Tara and Teal, Gemma and Raman, Sneha For healthcare innovations to be successful, the voices of those receiving or delivering such innovations need to be heard much earlier in the design process. This is not easy as there are likely to be multiple stakeholders involved, and their different backgrounds make it difficult to challenge or evaluate potential innovation in the early stage of development. This paper positions the Experience Lab as a means of co-creating sustainable, innovative solutions to healthcare challenges. The Experience Lab offers participants, both receiving and delivering healthcare, the opportunity to engage in the design process, share insights, experience new concepts, and imagine new ways of responding to challenges. The material artefacts and bespoke tools provide the conditions through which to create new meanings and shared experiences. This paper presents the Experience Lab approach, artefacts, and tools, providing examples of these in context. View resource Next item Previous item Home / Resources (Item) /
