In this episode I speak with Dr Lili Golmohammadi and Emelia Delaney, both research associates at King’s Health Partners Digital Health Hub. Lili and Emelia come from design backgrounds but with experience in different sectors; from eco design and engineering to fashion and sustainability, and have now found themselves working in digital health for the first time.
We discuss their journeys into digital health and the ways in which design methods, including co-design and creative, speculative approaches, are being applied in healthcare settings. Both describe how they’ve had to adapt design techniques for working alongside health professionals, researchers, and patients, and creating accessible and supportive environments for participation.
We chat about the challenges of co-design in healthcare, such as getting people comfortable with more creative and less traditional methods of working, the value of good facilitation, and the importance of scaffolding activities for different audiences.
Emelia shares her interests in sustainability and the potential role for AI in the co-design process, while Lili discusses her experiences in translating speculative design approaches into more immediate, real-world healthcare solutions.
Aimed at clinicians, researchers, and digital health professionals who want to understand the value and practice of co-design, and who may be seeking practical ways to involve users more meaningfully in their work.
