Let’s talk healthcare design: Julie Guinn – designinghealth. Julie Guinn wears two hats, and she likes teaching others to do the same.
That’s why as well as being an Experience Designer in a hospital, she’s also training doctors to become designers. We caught up to hear about her combined role at Jefferson, what she’s learnt from a career in tech and how that’s shaping her work in healthcare. What’s your current role and how did you get there? I work at Jefferson, which includes Jefferson Health and Thomas Jefferson University, in Philadelphia. I have a dual role here: I’m an experience designer in the Center for Digital Innovation and Consumer Experience and I co-direct the JeffDESIGN program at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College.

Closing the gap on Safety and Aesthetics. Intastop’s full length continuous SECURAHinge can be used on new or existing doors and is applied so as to conceal both leaves. Unlike conventional hinges, the SECURAHinge does not have a pin. Read more It consists of two full height, paired and geared leaves. These softened bearings greatly reduce the ligature between the bearing and hinge leaves which minimises potential self-harm in the open state (i.e when rubbing wrist against hinge).
The SECURAHinge features an Anti-Ligature tip (registered design 4035485) which greatly minimises the potential gap in open and closed positions and ensures no gap behind the bearing. A Concealed Closer Solution Combining the safety and efficiency of the SECURAHinge with the power of a Perko Powermatic® Closer can be positioned as low as 300mm from the base of the door. Features. BENDIGO HEALTH - Patients and Families - Hospital Maps. Cultural Probes - Qualitative Contextual Design Research. Cultural Probes. Royal College of Art. The European SuslabNWE study (2012-2015) saw 11 partners from Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden and the UK come together to investigate energy use in the home.
At the Royal College of Art, our work in partnership with SustainRCA looked at bringing together two practices ± that of inclusive design and environmental sustainability. Both often have different starting points, with inclusive design usually focusing on needs and capabilities at the domestic scale, and sustainability typically addressing large systemic change. A major project output this year was a publication entitled Drawing Energy, based on a drawing-based research project to explore people's perceptions of energy.
People were asked to write, draw or illustrate their thoughts and reactions to the question `What does energy look like? ' More than 180 members of the public took part in the project.

Design thinking can be used for diverse work, but it most easily adopted for the discovery phase of a project: when you are still seeking the meaningful problem to work on, or the right solution to pursue.
So choose a project in its early stages or one you really want to shake up. Second, choose a challenge that has a human element to it. Design thinking helps you excel in understanding people, gaining insights that you can leverage, and experimenting your way to a solution. So pick something in which people matter. That said, it doesn’t have to be a consumer project. One way to frame your project around people, is to (re)state the challenge using this format:“Redesign the [ topic ] experience for [ user ].”The first blank is the project area/topic/goal (but make sure the solution isn’t already dictated).

Prototyping made simple < Stories and Ideas < thinkpublic. Thinkpublic has worked with Designers Front to produce a new animation, Prototyping made simple, to show public services how they can use prototyping to quickly and cheaply develop and test new services.
Although a well-established part of service design, prototyping has not been widely applied to the design of public services. NESTA believes that prototyping could be part of a strong approach to developing new services that deliver better outcomes for less money. Prototyping made simple offers a fun and creative way for public service professionals to learn about the contribution prototyping can make to tackling the big social challenges.
At present, public services face two main challenges. Faced with deep budget reductions, they must find new ways to do more with less. Games people play during user research. How and why I use games as ‘tools for talking’ during fieldwork interviews… A couple of universal truths stand in the way of discovering what people actually think and do: What people do and what people say are rarely the same.
Equally, what people think, and what they say are very different. Annoyingly, but reliably, these rear their heads during customer interviews and ethnographic studies – the two main methods I use to gain insights from people. In practice they work like this: 378 2047 1 PB. Thinkpublic book by thinkpublic. Forum – Serious Play Forum – Serious Play Pro.
Hi Mark, Thanks for sharing information about Creativity Boxes.
My first reaction would be – sure, go for it! I have advocated for the use of any bricks for your LSP session. Prototype Testing Plan. Prototyping is something we all do in our daily lives when we try out new things – from trying out new recipes while cooking to trying out different routes while going somewhere: it simply involves trying out an idea to see how it can be improved.
At work however, prototyping is more than just ‘trying out’; it is a structured way to check that you have an efficient and fitting solution or approach before rolling it out or making a big investment in it. The Prototype Testing Plan gives a basic, but useful overview of the different ways in which you can test your work, as well as when to test it. Tools. Information & Design. Cultural probes (also known as diary studies) provide a way of gathering information about people and their activities.
Unlike direct observation (like usability testing or traditional field studies), the technique allows users to self-report. Information gathered from cultural probes is particularly useful early in the design process. When are Cultural Probes appropriate? Cultural probes are appropriate when you need to gather information from users with minimal influence on their actions, or when the process or event you’re exploring takes place intermittently or over a long period.

Approaches to designing experiences This example of trying to visualize an experience opens up the challenges facing people designing innovative services.
The example of the airport illustrated how organizations can be seen as offering multiple and diverse experiences over time, shaped by – and shaping – people’s behaviours . For users, customers, employees, partners and stakeholders, organizations are the sum of their experiences with organizations over time. SIH method12. SIH method11. SIH method4. Mappingexperiences. Download Our Guide to Service Blueprinting – ONE Design Community – Medium. By Nick Remis Let’s be honest, we’re all demanding customers with high expectations. We live in the era of touchpoint proliferation, where we expect services to be available whenever and wherever we want them. But at the same time, we expect it to work seamlessly, like magic. This is extremely difficult for an organization to deliver, because it’s so difficult to untangle the operational capabilities to meet the varying needs and pathways of the customer over time. To solve for the complexity, there’s a need for a flexible design tool to help visualize all that the customer experiences on their end and all the operations and collaboration on the business side that support that experience.
Enter the Service Blueprint A service blueprint is an operational tool that visualizes the components of a service experience in enough detail to analyze, implement, and maintain it. Fisher-Price The Future of Parenting. Continuum Case Studies. Making it Real. As a result of software eating the world, physical products and environments are smart and connected. There is a shift from focusing on product to multi-channel user experience, and successful companies are employing multidisciplinary teams involving the disciplines of interaction design, industrial design, architecture, branding and service design.
Prototyping has become a way to ensure teams are designing and building the right system of interdependent touchpoints. At Adaptive Path, we employ rapid prototyping in nearly every design iteration. Our clients enjoy the benefits of risk reduction and concept validation, and through prototyping with standardized kits, we also avoid unnecessarily long timelines and bloated budgets. Our two primary kits, Small Object and Environmental, are comprised of commonly used tools, materials, and artifacts that can be quickly assembled to represent a complete customer experience.

AI and the future of design: What will the designer of 2025 look like? For anyone doubting that AI is here, the New York Times recently reported that Carnegie Mellon University plans to create a research center that focuses on the ethics of artificial intelligence. Harvard Business Review started laying the foundation for what it means for management, and CNBC started analyzing promising AI stocks. I made the relatively optimistic case that design in the short term is safe from AI because good design demands creative and social intelligence.
But this short-term positive outlook did not alleviate all of my concerns. This year, my daughter started college, pursuing a degree in interaction design. As I began to explore how AI would affect design, I started wondering what advice I would give my daughter and a generation of future designers to help them not only be relevant, but thrive in the future AI world.

"Don't think of it as failure, think of it as designing experiments through which you’re going to learn. " Failure is an incredibly powerful tool for learning. Designing experiments, prototypes, and interactions and testing them is at the heart of human-centered design. So is an understanding that not all of them are going to work. As we seek to solve big problems, we’re bound to fail.

Before getting to the costly development of a new or improved service, low fidelity models are often used to prototype and test the ideas quickly and cheaply. The tools used for service prototyping can go in the direction of mainly evocative simulations but also of very realistic descriptions: from rudimentary acted-out scenarios with hand-sketched screens or improvised props to detailed mock-ups of the system, the environment and the staff.
