However, the impact of medical device design on patient emotions is largely underexplored. Drawing upon the Double Diamond Model and Gross’s Emotion Regulation Theory, this systematic review categorises the interdisciplinary innovation process of emotional design in medical devices into three stages: exploration, elaboration, and evaluation. This 3E framework serves as the key analytical tool for this study, providing a systematic interpretation of existing research across three dimensions: emotions and emotional needs, design strategies, and evaluation methods. This pre-registered systematic review follows PRISMA 2020 guidelines, analysing 71 studies (initial sample size = 11 461) published between 1986 and February 2024. The review identifies 25 positive and 31 negative emotions experienced by patients and underscores the importance of further exploring the design space for positive emotions. The review also incorporates Emotion Regulation Theory to provide deeper insights into emotional design strategies, categorising these strategies into five major types and identifying future interdisciplinary development trends. Current evaluation methods predominantly rely on interviews and questionnaires. There are insufficient robust quantitative tools that can capture nuanced product-related emotions. To improve patient well-being and enhance societal quality of life, further research into the emotional design of medical devices is urgently needed, necessitating a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50593,"journal":{"name":"Design Studies","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 101374"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145927464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It employed constructivist grounded theory, exploratory factor analysis, and causal loop diagram (CLD) through 69 in-person experiments in Boston, US, controlling for age, gender, income, and assets. Data collection included pre- and post–experiment surveys, semi-structured interviews, and the integration of grounded theory and factor analysis to enhance CLD's efficacy in addressing longevity planning needs. The study identifies five key factors—health, lifestyle, social well-being, housing, and quality of life—and examines their interplay to advance service design. Combining system dynamics with qualitative research, the method captures the connections between sequential events and the complex interrelationships of people, time, and behaviour. The integration of CLD contextualizes data, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of variable interrelationships. This study contributes to design studies through three aspects: 1. An innovative mixed-methods approach integrating grounded theory, factor analysis, and CLD, 2. Advancements in service design research through systemic modelling of user needs, and 3. An emphasis on user-centered design that addresses multidimensional concerns. The findings offer evidence-based insights, enabling design researchers to develop more effective and inclusive longevity planning services and systems, while enriching the theoretical foundation of design for longevity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50593,"journal":{"name":"Design Studies","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 101373"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145886363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By integrating affordance theory with case studies (<em>n</em> = 26), we investigate intervention mechanisms that shape VIPs' agency in food-mediated recycling (FMR), asking how food and related processes serve as catalytic mediators that indirectly facilitate VIPs' recycling behaviours. We identify three key affordance dimensions, with subcategories: sensory affordances (mono-/multi-/trans-sensory), recycling affordances (enabling/constraining/emergent), and VIPs' participatory roles (compensatory/co-creation agents/empowerment actors). The distribution of and relationships between multi-dimensional affordances are visualised using an alluvial diagram, yielding the following findings. 1) Current design interventions predominantly configure affordance pathways with multi-sensory affordances, constraint-type recycling affordances, and co-creation agent roles. 2) Modulated sensory/recycling affordances dynamically influence VIPs' participatory roles, which reciprocally activate their recycling behaviours. A multi-dimensional affordances design model for enhancing VIPs' agency in FMR is developed, integrating static components with dynamic design intervention pathways. This model provides an actionable framework that emphasises the mutually reinforcing effect of VIPs’ role transition and participation in recycling behaviours through affordance regulation, challenging ableist assumptions in sustainability discourse.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50593,"journal":{"name":"Design Studies","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 101372"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145886362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is difficult for designers to maintain close collaboration with other experts and master diverse knowledge sufficiently within short timeframes. To address this problem, a within-subjects study was conducted based on the Double Diamond Model development process. This study developed an artificial intelligence (AI) agent based on behavioral activation clinical guidelines, self-help manuals, and interviews with 20 psychological experts. Thirty-one designers completed both the traditional design process and the AI-assisted design process as required. Sixty-two design outcomes were evaluated by design and psychology experts. The research results were analyzed based on expert ratings, AI conversation records, and open-ended questionnaires. The findings indicate that in interdisciplinary design, AI expert-assisted approaches yield design outcomes with greater effectiveness, completeness, and applicability. Analysis of conversation types and usage experiences indicates that guided interactions lead to higher-quality design outcomes, whereas command-based interactions have a negative impact. In AI-assisted interdisciplinary design, AI assists designers primarily by compensating for interdisciplinary knowledge, integrating information, optimizing details, and providing constructive improvement directions. To improve the AI-assisted design experience, AI needs to provide answers in multiple formats, connect with other design tools, and avoid excessive use of professional terms. Based on experimental and interview data, this study proposes the AI-assisted Interdisciplinary Design (AID) model, which aims to clarify the processes, roles, and capabilities of AI in interdisciplinary design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50593,"journal":{"name":"Design Studies","volume":"102 ","pages":"Article 101371"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145842396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
