Prototyping (in) healthcare

Abstract

As Participatory Design (PD) moves into healthcare distinct practical issues emerge. We argue that PD researchers need to respond to these new challenges by establishing an ongoing dialogue on the practicalities of e.g. prototyping in healthcare. With this workshop we intend to start such reflections by focusing on practical issues of prototyping, such as 'how to organize PD prototyping in healthcare?' and 'how to run and manage prototypes in everyday medical practice?'. During the workshop the results of participants' work on problems and solutions will collaboratively be turned into a booklet.
