DESCRIPTION
This presentation was delivered for the 1st Design 4 Health conference, held in Sheffield (in the UK) in July 2011.This presentation introduces my PhD in design as a work in progress- the presentation's aim was to invite feedback and act as a springboard for more conversation.

PhD
My PhD will look at the design of medical products, specifically how users could be involved in their design.
Some elite design consultancies understand and practice tight user involvement- but are there more emancipatory methods? What emerging practices (or ideas) cannot be ignored?
PhD
• This PhD is a work in progress• Appreciative of feedback!
design in health
• Design an unknown quantity…• ‘Spray-on aesthetics?’– Crampton-Smith, 1996
• …or simply AWOL?– Pullin, 2009
Van der Puup, fictional ‘elite designer’ for Ikea advertising campaigncreated by UK consultancy Karmarama
Pervasive idea of a designer?
participatory design
• What methodology?– User consultation– Co design– Open design
• Moral and pragmatic- those affected by something are entitled to have a say; also, directly involving users the chances of success are improved– Carroll and Rosson (2007)
user consultation
• Shah et al (2009) talk about involving users– Traditional ‘focus group’– Semi-structured interviews
• ‘How it was done 20 years ago’– Alun Wilcox, PDD
• Parallel prototyping, rather than serial prototyping..?– Dow, 2011
co design
• Design with people, rather than for people• Challenges the ‘sole practitioner’ role of a
designer– Noble & Robinson, 2000
“Design is a personal activity and springs from the creative impulse of an individual. Group design or design by committee, although occasionally useful, deprives the designer of the distinct pleasure of personal accomplishment and self-realisation. It may even hinder his or her thought processes, because work is not practiced under natural, tension-free conditions…” Rand, 1993
open design
Open design is:
“The internet-enabled collaborative creation of artifacts by a dispersed group of otherwise unrelated individuals.”
Atkinson 2011

examplesOpen design business
open design
• Presents interesting challenges• Product design ‘no longer safe’– Rise of 3D printing
• Intellectual Property– Fundamental changes required…• KTN Open Source Report 2011
• Community– Vital– Who? Where? Do they want to participate?
methodology…
• Practice-based– Knowledge through action
• Case study basis– First, diabetes
Serious Play™“A major challenge in user-centred design is to organise and facilitate
user workshops that are engaging and productive for all participants – and to make them work in industrial practice” Petersen & Burr, 2000
Creative reflection – Shared design language – Tells a personal story
structure
• PhD funded by:• User-centred Healthcare Design– Via CLAHRC SY
• Gives access to wide range of practitioners, patients and resources in the NHS & Industry
conclusion
• Is there a role for open design in medical product design?
• Are there any barriers to open design in the medical product design business?
• How can open design be held in tension with regulatory requirements, and safety checks?
