Human-centered Approach for Flourishing: Discovering the Value of Service Eco...RSD7 Symposium
The document discusses career counseling services at universities. It provides background on career counseling and issues with school-to-work transitions. It then discusses the importance of career counseling services in universities, citing statistics from top universities on employment rates after graduation. Finally, it discusses problems commonly faced by campus career counseling services, such as lack of awareness, understanding of student needs, integration of practice and research, and limited resources.
This document summarizes an action design research project that aims to develop innovative ICT solutions to ease the transition from secondary school to work for persons with intellectual disabilities in Norway. It discusses how the project framed the problem of the exclusion of these persons from the workforce. It also describes opening the solution development process to include input from multiple stakeholders across systems that support persons with intellectual disabilities, such as schools, employers, and social services. The goal is to co-create new service models that better coordinate support for these persons' work abilities and autonomy in decision-making.
The document discusses using design-led innovation and arts-based research methods to transform aged care. It provides examples of how participatory creative arts research helped raise empathy and awareness of aged care residents' experiences. The author advocates redesigning aged care with a biophilic lens to integrate nature and make spaces more health-promoting. Co-locating amenities like men's sheds, libraries, and childcare within aged care facilities could improve residents' experiences and interactions. Radical redesign and re-imagination of aged care is needed to better support residents, families, and staff.
This document discusses why people love museums and what makes them sustainable. It argues that people love museums because they provide experiences that make visitors feel the same way museum professionals feel about their work. Museums need to let visitors share in these experiences to build love and support. When people love and value museums, they are more likely to support and engage with them, making the museums sustainable. The key to sustainability and building love is for museums to focus on sharing experiences with visitors rather than just objects and facts.
This document summarizes seven contemporary design trends for aging populations and aged care facilities:
1. Participatory co-design involving end-users like residents and staff.
2. Intergenerational contact zones through co-location with schools or community spaces.
3. Sustainable and biophilic design bringing nature indoors and outdoors.
4. Playable design introducing fun elements to reduce isolation and encourage activity.
5. Dementia-friendly and inclusive universal design for diverse needs.
6. Emerging technologies like robotics for care, entertainment, and companionship.
7. Evidence-based design informed by multiple perspectives and empirical research.
This document discusses how those trying to solve systemic problems and crises are often looking in the wrong places and asking the wrong questions. It notes that innovative responses often come from "the edge" rather than the center, where most resources and established organizations are located. The document introduces Edgeryders as an organization that works with a global community to harness collective intelligence and help clients address complex challenges in new ways through an "open consultancy" model rather than traditional consulting.
This is a set of slides used for a full days talk to social work students. It explores the moral purpose of social work, the meaning of social justice and citizenship and some of the practical and political issues confronting social workers today. The course includes an exercise encouraging people to see the disconnection between our own expectations the reality of social care systems. The course was developed by Dr Simon Duffy and has been run for several years at Huddersfield and Hertfordshire Universities.

The Global Ageing Experience Project conducted ethnographic research in 7 European countries to understand experiences of aging. Key findings include:
- People want to focus on their abilities rather than limitations and maintain independence.
- The home environment is crucial to quality of life as people age, providing memories, possessions and the space to spend their later years.
- Healthcare and support systems are large and complex, difficult for older people to navigate.
- However, older people are resilient and resourceful in managing their health and finding needed support. Understanding the individual experience of aging is important for developing appropriate services and policies.
The document discusses the work of Aditya Pawar, a PhD student who prototypes practices through design interventions and speculation. It describes several of his projects: 1) Using design and art to foster critical public discourse around socioeconomic tensions in Frankfurt. 2) Conducting healthcare foresight and envisioning future scenarios and concepts through workshops with experts. 3) Designing a serious game to promote behavioral change around customer processes at Siemens Energy. 4) Facilitating collaboration between a library and local organizations to reimagine the library's role and services. The document emphasizes that interventionist design research requires custom approaches for each context and unlearning to establish new working relationships.
The terms “mainstreaming” and “inclusion” are frequently associated with educational settings or work placements. When we require the care of a health professional, we all are patients and often excluded from the direction of the process of care. The literal meaning of the word "patient" is to be passive. In a world of inclusion, empowerment and self-determination this role needs to change. The presentation discusses the consequences of this paradigm shift for the inclusion of patients in the areas of diagnostics, treatment/interventions and research.
Care and STS: re‐embedding socio‐technical futuresChris Groves
STS has, in recent years, seen the foregrounding of concepts of care in attempting to understand the constitution of of socio-technologies, as in, for example, the work of scholars like Annemarie Mol and Maria Puig de la Bellacasa. Despite the explicit attention such research pays to temporality, connections between care and technoscientific futures remain under-explored. This paper addresses this issue by re-appraising the connections between care, socio-technologies and futures, drawing on phenomenology, the ethics of care, and objects-relations theories to explore the relationship between practices, technologies and complex subjectivity. Performing the future in the present, it is suggested, constitutes and is constituted by specific temporal relationships between past, present and the not-yet through which subjects exercise care for the future. These relationships can be lost, in certain circumstances, in the products of the performance itself, in the quest for socially-valorized and desired 'disembedded' knowledge of futures, as manifested in demand forecasts, cost-benefit analyses, profit projections and so on. I explore how restoring an appreciation for the 'artisanal' performance of futures is essential to how innovation, and indeed governance of innovation, can be re-embedded in society as part of the broader goal of reconstructing the contract between technoscience and the societies that depend on it. Normative dimensions in STS, as addressed by recent developments such as responsible innovation ('taking care of the future' through the stewardship of technoscience, according to Stilgoe, Owen & Macnaghten, 2013), are thus brought back into the analytical frame.
Design as a Change Agent in Care - 2021 presentation QUT
Evonne Miller, Professor of Design Psychology and Director of the QUT Design Lab, will share her experience in leading arts and design-based research – both design and design doing - in healthcare, and how design can be an agent of change.
Evonne – whose background is in psychology - will reflect on her unusual career path and the value of a psychology lens for designers. Drawing on recent projects in aged care and healthcare, Evonne will discuss her experience using visual tools, ‘theory-storming’ and appreciative inquiry approaches in participatory workshops, as well learnings from implementing HEAL – the Healthcare Excellence AcceLerator, which has embedded designers into Queensland hospitals in[masked].
Evonne has been awarded over $3.7 Million in competitive research grant funding, and over 100 scholarly publications - including two recent books: Creating Great Places: Evidence-based urban design for health and wellbeing (Routledge, 2020, with A/Prof Deb Cushing), and “Creative Arts-Based Research in Aged Care: Photovoice, Photography and Poetry in Action” (Routledge, 2021).

This document discusses effective science communication strategies for polarized audiences. It argues that simply providing more facts or claiming scientific consensus will not change attitudes that are shaped by cultural values. People process information through an identity-protective lens that aligns their views with their social groups. The document advocates for empathizing with different worldviews and framing messages in culturally affirming ways to avoid triggering resistance. It presents a case study showing that priming audiences with identity-affirming themes before scientific information can mitigate polarization. The key is designing communication that judges less and affirms diverse perspectives.
The research group has been running for 15 years and currently has 7 members. They have conducted numerous research projects on topics important to people with learning difficulties like autism advocacy and keeping wartime memories alive. Their research process aims to be inclusive, interest-based, accessible, and useful to people. They emphasize ownership and equal participation of people with learning difficulties. Some challenges they face include limited time and money, physical distance between members, and having their research dismissed. They hope to continue publishing their work to educate others and promote inclusive research.
The workshop summary discusses a workshop focused on improving dementia care and services. Key points discussed include:
- Over 500 questions were generated in discovery sessions around issues like stigma, diagnosis, support for families, and keeping people connected.
- 11 propositions were developed from the questions, with the top 3 being improved diagnosis, a "Dementia City" concept, and awareness campaigns.
- An "enterprise" session focused on developing the improved diagnosis proposition further. Elements like the need for a timeline to track progression, matching capabilities to needs, and emerging diagnostic technologies were discussed.
- The workshop aimed to take a collaborative, user-centered design approach to develop innovative solutions to challenges in dementia care.
The document summarizes the career path and work of an anthropologist who founded a research consultancy applying anthropological methods to business problems. It describes some of the consultancy's projects in media, technology and organizations. It argues that anthropology is moving beyond academic and NGO settings into "unbound" applications in commercial and other sectors, using ethnography to provide novel insights and solutions for clients.
This document summarizes a research article that explores caring responsibilities through the narrative of a woman named Eva. The article aims to enrich care ethical theories and contribute to debates on citizen responsibilities. Eva's narrative shows how she balances caring for herself and others in complex relationships affected by her situation. For Eva, a good life equals a caring life achieved through relational processes rather than individual autonomy. Her story illustrates caring as requiring moral intimacy in relationships and ambiguous struggles with reciprocity, vulnerability and openness rather than tensions between self-care and care for others. Developments transferring caring responsibilities to citizens require rethinking concepts of responsibility, care and relationality.
Constructivism, Power & Privilege - The Berne 2021Andy Williams
The document discusses constructivism and how human differences are conceptualized. It argues that differences have often been understood through rigid empirical measurements that result in fixed classifications. However, a constructivist view sees meaning as dynamic and emphasizes that meaning is constructed through language, discourse, and systems of meaning defined by those in power. From this perspective, human differences themselves are less important than the meanings attributed to them through social and cultural processes.
The document discusses international social work and perspectives from various scholars and practitioners. It addresses the meaning of international social work, new agendas in the field including terrorism and global warming, and lessons for social work education. International social work is defined as addressing problems between nations or across boundaries, with a focus on the well-being of all people worldwide regardless of nationality. It is suggested social work adopt a more global vision, understand issues in context, embrace human rights from below, incorporate post-colonial studies, be more value-based, and deconstruct privileged perspectives from the West. Examples from Costa Rica and Scotland illustrate opportunities to learn about social problems in other countries and compare human services between nations.

The document discusses the founding and mission of the Human Rights and Social Responsibility Committee of EAGT. It begins by noting major global human crises like 9/11 and the refugee crisis that interrupted awareness and disconnected people. The committee was founded in 2004 in response to these events to promote social responsibility in Gestalt therapy training and practice. Its activities have included supporting organizations working in conflict areas and promoting inclusion of human rights issues in training standards. The document argues that Gestalt therapy has always had social and political dimensions and the committee works to renew this focus. It then discusses establishing a local Greek committee to support needs in society through organized voluntary work.
This document discusses using social networking platforms for research purposes. It describes how research used to be a solitary activity but is now embracing social networking. It provides examples of how the author has used Second Life to collaborate with other researchers on funded studies looking at topics like virtual reality and consent. The author argues that social networking allows researchers to form new connections and communities to advance their work in a creative way, similar to how scientific communities first developed centuries ago.

The document discusses the Milford Model of Compassionate Communities, which aims to enable communities to better support those facing advanced illnesses, death, loss, and bereavement. It notes most people facing advanced illnesses spend their last year at home without access to specialist palliative care. The model seeks to transfer specialist palliative care skills and knowledge to non-specialist community settings. It measures outcomes like reducing unmet social needs, caregiver burden, and increasing social networks to alleviate isolation. The goal is to empower communities to have open conversations about death and offer practical support to those nearing end of life.

We are more than a health profession. We can look at people's daily lives and understand how all parts integrate and interact. The worlds current problems are cause by human occupation, so expects in human occupation and activity need to solve it!
This document discusses moving beyond the "hotel" model of care for people living with dementia. It advocates for a more therapeutic community approach with a focus on relationships, reciprocity, and maintaining dignity. The goal is promoting well-being through a sense of belonging, purpose, and person-centered care that supports maintaining abilities for as long as possible.
Dr Shibley Rahman book launch February 2017shibley
This document provides information about an event to discuss integrated care for dementia and the launch of a new book on the topic. The event will feature several speakers discussing different aspects of dementia care from various perspectives, including clinical psychology, technology, acute hospitals, care homes, and hospices. It will include a panel discussion on making person-centered integrated care a reality and the benefits of involving those with dementia and their caregivers in services and research. The event aims to stimulate discussion on providing the best possible health, wellbeing, and care for those living with dementia through a holistic and collaborative approach.
RSD10 Keynote. Dr Klaus Krippendorff suggests that designers become critical of what their work supports and cognizant of and accountable for the systemic consequences of their designs.
The main mission of systems-oriented design is to build the designer’s own interpretation and implementation of systems thinking so that systems thinking can fully benefit from design thinking and practice and vice versa.

The document discusses the concept of "transversal design" as an approach to systemic design that aims to glimpse wholeness. It explores transversal design as a fluid, creative process that nurtures radical encounters where different perspectives generate new understandings of "we". The document outlines several key principles of transversal design, including that wholeness is emergent, glimpsed through particulars, and sensed rather than understood. It also presents various design practices and materials that could foster a transversal mindset focused on humility, mystery, relationships and collective presence.
1) The document discusses intimacy in remote communication and proposes opportunities to design for intimacy through various sensory modalities like sight, sound, smell, and touch.
2) It provides examples of experiential art projects that aimed to foster intimacy remotely, such as Telematic Dreaming in 1992 and a Situationist iPhone app from 2011.
3) The conclusion cites Humberto Maturana stating that acceptance of others beside us is the biological foundation of social phenomena and humanity. Without this, there is no social process.
This document provides an overview of several topics related to the politics of designed im/materiality including:
1) What points of friction within existing human-made systems reveal politically, culturally, and ecologically and the implications of bodily registers that process intended and unintended frictions within these systems.
2) It discusses human-made systems and design as the organization and materialization of logics.
3) References notions of democracy, points of friction, policy making and design, forms of attachment, and affective weight or bodily registers of intended and unintended impacts of human-made systems.
A cross-sectoral project for the systemic design of regional dyeing value chains
https://rsdsymposium.org/design-circular-colours-regional-dyeing-value-chains/
The document discusses Arctic Design (AD) as a new domain that focuses on human adaptation, safety, and wellbeing in extreme Arctic environments. It proposes AD as a framework to organize autonomous existence through technology creation. The researchers aim to develop AD into a coherent methodology through content analysis and evaluating past Arctic projects. Their methodology involves fieldwork with DIY communities to stimulate locally relevant technologies for living in remote Arctic areas. The implications of AD include bringing new insights about human-technology relationships in influential environments and enhancing technology credibility for other contexts while challenging ideas of "placelessness."
This document profiles Dan Lockton, an assistant professor who researches metaphors and systems. It summarizes some of his work on making imaginaries tangible, including developing new metaphors through workshops and using tangible objects to externalize mental models. It also discusses how metaphors are abstract models and maps rather than the direct things themselves, and how describing systems relies on metaphorical frameworks.
This document proposes an app called the 21st Century Economy App for Cross-Species CoLiving. The app aims to redefine humanity's relationship with the natural environment by establishing a transactional system that provides mutual benefit and value exchange between humans and other species/environmental factors. It would use blockchain technology and complimentary currencies to give agency to non-human entities. The app was developed using HTML, JavaScript, C# and other technologies to be cross-compatible. It seeks to shift economic models towards being more reflective of humanity's dependence on healthy ecosystems and transition towards a post-anthropocentric approach that is multi-centered and recognizes the agency of all species.
This document proposes tension manifolds as a design medium for enabling collective action on complex social issues. It describes tensions that emerge from stakeholders' differing perspectives on an issue, forming dynamic fields that influence perceptions and relationships. Tension manifolds represent these tensions spatially, with curvature and intersections depicting paradoxes. The design strategies are to alter stakeholders' perspectives; identify high-tension structures; and define points to adjust pre-loaded tensions and relationships, allowing greater freedom. Tension manifolds conceptualize tensions as a design surface for collaborative exploration and identification of affordances.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

End-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) is the level of carbon dioxide that is released at the end of an exhaled breath. ETCO2 levels reflect the adequacy with which carbon dioxide (CO2) is carried in the blood back to the lungs and exhaled.
Non-invasive methods for ETCO2 measurement include capnometry and capnography. Capnometry provides a numerical value for ETCO2. In contrast, capnography delivers a more comprehensive measurement that is displayed in both graphical (waveform) and numerical form.
Sidestream devices can monitor both intubated and non-intubated patients, while mainstream devices are most often limited to intubated patients.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

2. “Before, the choice was burn out or numb out. Professionals felt
strangled by a system that did not provide opportunities for change
or creativity… Slowly a system of protocols has accreted around
professions that care. There is a premium on being dispassionate,
on keeping our distance. Detachment is prized.”
/ Hilary Cottam, Radical Help (2018)

10. “I’m sort of staggered actually, when design innovation people sit on a
stage and say ‘it’s really important that we take risks, we fail fast, we take
more risks, more failure’. Because that shows, more than anything, that
they’ve never been on the other side of the table, experiencing the
responsibility of running public services.”

23. Existing logics do not recognize the value of alternative
logics, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a role to play in
breathing life into a numb system.
Exploring alternative logics opens up for new ways of thinking
and working and reduces the taken-for-grantedness of the
existing logic.
Embodying questions and sitting with discomfort is an
essential opening for personal and systemic transformation.
