6. “Why is dementia treated so differently from cancer
or any other life-threatening disease?
Why should we be left in this position and faced
with forfeiting so much of our income and our home
just to get the support he needs to live?
I’m happy to pay towards care, but what’s expected
is just too much.”
Jean, carer for husband Rodney (diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2014)

Goals
What are their audience’s Goals?
What would they ideally be?
25. Key findings
Professionals
Poor service integration
More authority needed
Insufficient training
Limited access to IT
Service Users
Lack of signposting
Little help pre-diagnosis
Untargeted content
Sense of ‘unknown’
30. Service Design applies design methods to
the definition of products, communications
and interactions, as well as the operations,
values and structure of an organisation...
31. ...it requires looking not only at the
customer experience, but also the
business experience...
32. ...and then examines the value and
experience from a multi-user perspective
(customer, staff and business), is largely
agnostic to channel and medium and
connects experience delivery to the
operations and technology that produce it.
37. Training programmes to help
deliver more effective diagnosis
Helping GP’s to build better
pathways to connect the patient
experience
Marketing to GP’s & hospitals
More targeted guidance &
signposting for PABD...

38. Premise for MVP:
“Give control back to people.
Enable people to find and
connect to relevant information
and support when they need it.”
Self Guided Support

45. Increase in internal UX roles
Growing adoption and senior
endorsement of UX and design thinking
More authority & autonomy to innovate
and test products
Internal decision-making based on
robust, objective data
Better cross-departmental eduction
and collaboration
Self Guided Support go live
due this year...
Transforming culture
AND service delivery
47. Conversational interface that
works across multiple channels
Research-led approach big
advantage in helping the
machine to learn well
Quickly triage and remove
significant burden on
‘repeat tasks’
Increased contact centre
efficiency
Great foundation for
Sabio Virtual Assistant
48. Don’t look at the user experience
in isolation of the capabilities
you have to deliver it.
Transformation is cultural.
50. and great feedback from the Director of Operations:
“Helen is so so happy... She said it has the potential
to be ground breaking and award winning…
and talked about nominating the work for awards in
the care space. WELL DONE.”
