*Track 1b: Re-Designing Health: Transforming Systems, Practices and Care*
There is growing recognition of the increasing complexity faced by
healthcare systems; critical issues and challenges include ageing
populations, chronic diseases, growing drug ineffectiveness, and lack of
access to comprehensive services (to name only a few examples).
Concurrently design thinking, methods and practices are increasingly
recognized as a means of addressing complex, multi-levelled and systemic
problems.
The *Re-Designing Health: Transforming Systems, Practices and Care* track
session brings together academics that are working in—and across—areas of
design, medicine and health. Employing design methods, practices, and
thinking to address a range of healthcare challenges—from individual
product to large-scale policy—this track provides a forum for researchers,
practitioners, students, and designers to provide evidence for this
relationship, document challenges and successes and to provide theoretical
and practical models for healthcare and design to work collaboratively to
address complex healthcare problems.
We look to identify and build research capacity to help address the complex
and significant challenges faced by society in the 21st century and to
chart new opportunities for the discipline of design. This track looks for
submissions that deal broadly with notions of design and health and
document a variety of practices, proposals and ideas.
