As PhD students doing design research in health care, we run into various hurdles and challenges as we go. We were wondering how other PhD students and design researchers in health care manage their process, to define good practice together.
We organized a workshop at the Design Research Society 2016 conference in Brighton. We were lucky to have an international audience of 6 wonderful and enthusiastic participants, all PhD students in health care. They shared memorable events about their process, and found key issues underlying their experiences. They even came up with some very inspiring strategies and solutions!
We analyzed these insights, and hope to share as much as possible what we learned on this blog. It is also an invitation for anyone involved in design and research in health care, to share their experiences and insights!
