Our exploration of actuation in wearables focuses on the aesthetics of form and of interaction, especially in relation to expressiveness and supporting how the user relates to other individuals. In this article, we discuss challenges and design potentials related to user experience and aesthetics of actuating wearables in this context.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"186 1","pages":"231 - 251"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80639471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants’ motivations, preferences, and expectations of holistic EOL planning were investigated using a qualitative approach. A concurrent card sort and in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 middle-aged participants living in Taiwan who intended to prepare for EOL. Four interlinked categories characterising the development of EOL planning tools were employed: authorised EOL plans and their alternatives; distinctions between public and private items; interrelationships between social events and personal relationships; and EOL planning as an evolving process. It appears that simply pursuing design outcomes and efficiency is insufficient in addressing EOL issues as EOL is both an overall state and a process. In designing for EOL planning, aspects such as relationships, emotions, and self-awareness must be included. Additionally, planning platform designs were proposed for recording, management, and delivery components.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"19 1","pages":"142 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80820954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All stakeholders were involved in designing and implementing Morgendauw. The artwork seems able to evoke responses in both the residents and their caregivers, but the amount and duration of the responses observed during the study were limited. 15 interactions over the course of 14 h were noted and almost all of them were initiated by the nursing home staff, physiotherapy students or visitors (n = 12). Interactions lasted for about 3 min on average. Although the nursing home residents initially did not seem to notice the artwork, the threshold of acknowledging and approaching the artwork was quickly overcome when staff nudged or directed the residents’ attention towards the artwork. Beyond this point, nursing home residents generally needed little explanation of the interface to interact with the artwork. The location in which Morgendauw was placed during the study or the characteristics of the installation seemed to create a threshold. Further research should focus on the importance and the effects of context when designing and implementing an interactive art installation in a nursing home environment.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"16 1","pages":"161 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74112157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores the tension of this experience as a starting point to support the development of experience-focussed innovations for people living with diabetes. Existing experience literature was analysed through the previously designed Health Experience Insight Cards: Living with Diabetes Edition, previously developed by the authors. The cards were inductively sorted by the research team to understand the tensions within this experience. Five dimensions of tension were identified; (a) Person as expert and Doctor as expert, (b) Cost and benefit, (c) Medical ideals and Life priorities, (d) Quality of support and Quantity of support and (e) Stability and the Need for change. This research contributes to the field of health design through providing an exemplar of how in-depth research on a health experience can be collated, framed, presented as a tension tool and used in health experience design to embrace the complexity of living with diabetes. The tensions and the tool can be used by designers, health professionals, service providers and policymakers to evaluate and identify opportunities for experienced-centred health innovation.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"381 1","pages":"193 - 212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76441829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following the successful co-creation of Men’s health postcards, Co-creation also underpinned the method adopted to create the digital version of Myhealth. Through a series of prototyping workshops, we co-created the content, key health messages and navigation of information for a web-based version.

The aim of this study was to explore how the aesthetics of prosthetic limbs affected users in two countries with different cultures: the UK and Greece. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used based on semi-structured interviews, alongside probes. Seven participants (nUK = 4; nGR = 3) were recruited, based on purposive methods. All the participants were adults, who had limb-loss due to amputation. The results regarding the role of prosthetic limbs, with respect to their appearance, revealed one theme related to users’ personal life, and two opposing themes regarding users’ social lives. Prosthetic limbs with unattractive appearance negatively affected participants’ wellbeing, whilst expressive prostheses, an alternative prosthetic type that is individually designed to highlight the user’s identity, could increase their self-confidence. Regardless of the extent to which participants were conscious about the aesthetics of their prostheses, they indicated that expressive prostheses were more attractive. Therefore, they could educate society and help users be more easily accepted. However, caution needs to be paid in the case of collectivistic societies, as expressive prostheses could increase users’ stigmatization.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"9 1","pages":"23 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84225995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first three phases made use of conventional methods for exploring wayfinding difficulties. These included a questionnaire survey for patients, a wayfinding task followed by interviews, and a questionnaire survey for stakeholders. These exercises indicated that there was a problem with wayfinding which was primarily addressed by patients and visitors asking members of staff for directions. However, the exercises provided little in the way of specific recommendations for improving wayfinding. The fourth phase of the research used mobile eye-tracking combined with a wayfinding task and interviews to explore where visitors looked for information, what signs attracted attention, and for how long. As a result of this exercise specific recommendations were made on sign placement, use of colour, and associated issues. The final phase of the research repeated the eye-tracking exercise after the recommendations were implemented. Shorter journey times and positive comments in the interviews following this exercise indicated that the modifications were effective in improving the wayfinding experience. Mobile eye-tracking appears to have potential for helping to design effective wayfinding systems in large healthcare facilities.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"26 1","pages":"105 - 121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83518580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
