$Planning and facilitating co-design workshops\u202ffor digital health$

Free session on design workshops - a co-design method that can aid the process of developing digital health innovations.
About this Event

Co-design workshops are interactive sessions, which bring together a range of methods (e.g., focus groups, mind mapping, and rapid prototyping). They offer a flexible and exploratory space to collaborate, generate insights, ideate, and verify and review a project’s direction. They offer a joint experience for the end users who take part, are an efficient and fun way to scaffold the introduction of concepts and design methods, and gain end-users’ creative trust and input.

This session introduces co-design workshops in the context of digital health. These workshops often bring together a several methods (for example, mind mapping, and rapid prototyping). We will discuss the opportunities and challenges of taking this approach, and offer case studies, practical tips, and activities to support co-design workshop planning and facilitation.

This workshop is for you if you are a UK-based health or care professional, manager, researcher, student, patient, family carer, or Small to Medium sized Enterprise using or (or interested in using) a co-design process and methods to develop a digital health technology. You can be at any stage of a project.

This is an in-person workshop only. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Facilitators: This workshop will be facilitated by design researchers Emelia Delaney and Dr Lili Golmohammadi, and Dr Siobhán O'Connor.

About the Co-design support programme at the KHP Digital Health Hub: Co-design – the process of creating and developing a product or service in collaboration with all those involved in its use – can be a highly effective way to improve digital health and care, and business outcomes. This workshop is part of a pilot programme of co-design support offerings at the EPSRC-funded King’s Health Partners Digital Health Hub, a multi-disciplinary centre helping those interested in developing a digital health innovation from conception to implementation. We are based at the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering.

Additional resources: If you would like to learn more about the co-design process and related methods and tools, please take a look at our free online Co-design for Digital Health course and Co-design Methods Library. The course consists of 6 X 20 minute recorded sessions with follow-up questions and links to specific co-design methods in our library, and can be completed in your own time.

Disclaimer: We would like to collect feedback as part of our ongoing research into supporting and pioneering co-design methods and tools for digital health.
