We all know how it feels to wait. Waiting is part of our everyday life; we wait for the bus, we wait for a friend to arrive, we wait our turn to be served in a shop. Sometimes we enjoy the wait, it gives us a chance to breathe and reflect. At other times it's a disruption to our routine that leaves us frustrated, stressed or simply bored. Waiting is a consistent pain point at different stages of a health care experience. We wait for a consultation or to obtain our test results. Waiting in a hospital or clinic can be especially difficult as we could be in pain, feeling anxious about our health condition, or confused by a procedure we do not understand. Waiting in healthcare is rarely positive. Many healthcare systems are working hard to reduce waiting times as a means to improve efficiency and perceived service quality. But as health services around the world are increasingly overstretched, waiting becomes an inevitable part of every healthcare journey. So how can we improve the quality of a waiting experience in healthcare? Project Process Overview Fullscreen <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/1_1.jpg" width="670" height="282" width_o="2048" height_o="862" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/1_1_o.jpg" data-mid="8380385" border="0" align="left"/> Insights Synthesising our data from secondary desk research and fieldwork observations and interviews with service users and healthcare providers, we defined a set of key insights that relate to the experience of waiting for a consultation in a healthcare setting. Each insight into the current experience is described on a separate card, the title of each card opens up a particular opportunity area to improve the experience of waiting. A trigger for ideation of solutions. The insights capture the physical, emotional and spatial aspects of the waiting experience. By combining them and mapping them to time and the process of waiting provided a clear innovation framework for the project. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/2.jpg" width="670" height="358" width_o="1747" height_o="935" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/2_o.jpg" data-mid="8380392" border="0" align="left"/> Patient Journey From arrival and registration at a clinic or hospital reception, all the way through to medical consultation and departure, the waiting experience is broken into key stages that impact the overall waiting experience. consideration was given to people having to wait while their loved one consults the doctor. Each stage was colour coded to indicate the pace of activity at that point, a faster pace with a more intense colour. A time icon indicates the typical relative duration of each stage. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/3.jpg" width="670" height="474" width_o="1359" height_o="962" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/3_o.jpg" data-mid="8380394" border="0" align="left"/> Modus Modular furniture system that can be adapted to support different types of activities, people and facilities; elements can be reconfigured by healthcare provider as a service evolves. Moveable arm rests and a choice of different density cushion pads allow people to create their own physical comfort zone. Wheelchair users and children in strollers have designated waiting space alongside their loved ones. Soft design qualities communicate comfort, but not at the expense of hygiene, with specialist materials finishes ensuring safe surfaces. Active and passive air cleaning is achieved through integrated ventilation and carefully chosen plants. A queue management system provides displays at each end of the seating unit, reassuringly near to people as they wait. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/4.jpg" width="670" height="371" width_o="1687" height_o="935" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/4_o.jpg" data-mid="8380395" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/30.jpg" width="670" height="407" width_o="820" height_o="499" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/30_o.jpg" data-mid="9206994" border="0" align="left"/> Tableau When you sit at a table its surface naturally creates a personal space around you. Tableau is a communal table for waiting rooms that provides social and private space for people to read , write, relax or socialise. Integrated lighting, storage and queue management displays create a dedicated area in which people can prepare or debrief after a consultation. Service staff can also use the table as an informal work space or a place for conversations with patients and loved ones. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/6.jpg" width="670" height="309" width_o="1831" height_o="846" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/1701415/6_o.jpg" data-mid="8380401" border="0" align="left"/> Inline Is an iPhone application that tells you more than just your number in the queue. You can use it to make an appointment, locate your doctor's consultation room at the clinic, as well as make use of your waiting time for a better, more effective medical consultation. Features include reassuring dynamic updates of your position in the queue, a place to keep health notes, medication records and access to information about local activities for a healthier lifestyle.

Being able to give in becomes, therefore, essential in order to socialize successfully. However, it is also good to be aware of our limits and detect when the situation should be stopped. This object helps to visualise how much we have given in to the same person. It consists of a ceramic piece, a valve and a balloon. The user needs to assign the object to a specific person and blow into the balloon every time the user considers he or she has given in to that person. The bigger the balloon gets, the more patience you are losing... How much are you willing to give in? Could you eventually explode?

haguem de fer coses amb les quals no estem d’acord, que no ens agradaria fer en aquest moment, o bé, coses que creiem que s’haurien de fer d’una altra manera. Saber cedir o aprendre a “pasar por el aro” resulta imprescindible per tal de socialitzar. Tot i així, també és bo saber fins on s’està disposat a arribar o quan és el moment de dir prou. Aquest objecte ajuda a visualitzar quant hem cedit davant la mateixa persona. L’objecte està format per una peca de ceràmica, una vàlvula i un globus. L’usuari ha d’assignar l’objecte a una persona en concret i, cada vegada que cregui que ha cedit davant d’aquesta persona, ha de bufar dins el globus. A mesura que el globus s’omple, la paciència s’esgota... Quant estàs disposat a cedir? Acabaràs petant?

Due to a dramatically increase of the property prices, designers have started to try to provide more affordable solutions to people by understanding the house as a mass consumption product. By taking that approach to the housing market, designers aim to reduce costs by standarising construction processes. There are other conditions that have changed the way people used to live not too many years ago. The traditional family twenty years ago used to live in one or two houses all their life. Nowadays, due to an increase of divorces(75% of the marriages in some European contries) and due to different work requirements, people tent to live in several houses before they find the house where they plan to settle. This process of changing your living space has been considered the most stressing situation a person can be put through after a medical operation, and statistics say that 42% lost sleep, 6% needed time off work, 4% had panic attacks and 2% had to see a doctor during the moving process*. My proposal is a range of furniture that facilitates the moving process, lets you choose the furniture that you prefer even when you share a space and allows you to easily move your furniture with you when you move out. This collection of furniture would be sold off the shelf by halves -so in a shared environment you could decide which half you prefer. These halves could be pluged to other halves in order to create complete objects. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00005.JPG" width="670" height="448" width_o="1840" height_o="1232" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00005_o.JPG" data-mid="2409007" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00006.JPG" width="670" height="448" width_o="1840" height_o="1232" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00006_o.JPG" data-mid="2409011" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00007.JPG" width="670" height="448" width_o="1840" height_o="1232" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00007_o.JPG" data-mid="2409014" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00008.JPG" width="670" height="448" width_o="1840" height_o="1232" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00008_o.JPG" data-mid="2409015" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00009.JPG" width="670" height="448" width_o="1840" height_o="1232" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00009_o.JPG" data-mid="2409018" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00012.JPG" width="670" height="448" width_o="1840" height_o="1232" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00012_o.JPG" data-mid="2409036" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00017.JPG" width="670" height="448" width_o="1840" height_o="1232" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00017_o.JPG" data-mid="2409050" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00021.JPG" width="670" height="448" width_o="1840" height_o="1232" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00021_o.JPG" data-mid="2409066" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00001.JPG" width="670" height="1000" width_o="1232" height_o="1840" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/527098/CNV00001_o.JPG" data-mid="2408992" border="0" align="left"/> *Data extracted from www.24dash.com This project is about Compact and Prefabricated Living.

For this purpose, I tried to break down the act of making a meal with only one hand. I focused on the tools that one-handed people need, how they prepare the work space, how they take the dishes to the table, how they cut, peel, fill in a bottle of water. I also focused on all the actions which can be easily unnoticed by abled people but very difficult to perform for disabled people. The aim is to design non-stigmatising objects which can help both, able and disable people.

The objects do not attempt to facilitate the sufferers' life but rather to 'spike' their condition. The direct confrontation of their condition helps the sufferers to take control of their anxieties rather than to be dominated by them. Some of the prototypes were tested during a five-days intensive course at the OCD Centre by eight sufferers and two therapists. Their feedback helped refine the products. download project book OCD TAP The tap is fitted with a small device to harmlessly change the colour of the water to make it look 'contaminated'.

Physiotherapists and rehab specialists encourage elderly to maintain an exercise routine at home, but need to be able to adapt care plans according to capability as people age, get ill and their movement deteriorates. This idea offers elderly a simple, fun and safe way to perform rehab and mobility exercises in the home wearing this garment. It also offers care givers the opportunity to modify and tailor exercises for patients in a simple effective way by moving pockets around the garment using a flexible system. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299270/26_elderly4.jpg" width="619" height="322" width_o="619" height_o="322" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299270/26_elderly4_o.jpg" data-mid="1293687" border="0" align="left"/> Myway Families struggle to confront and effectively address difficult issues such as those related to aging loved ones and lifestyle changes that impact the family. They often struggle to identify the options they face as well as feel a sense of control over their decision-making. This idea is an interactive, visual tool that helps people discuss sensitive subjects and work out possible future scenarios in order to plan with effectiveness and reassurance. The kit could also be used by other stakeholder groups such as: human resource managers discussing retirement and pension options with their employees, social workers facilitating decision-making together with the families they support or clinical professionals discussing care options with their patients and their families. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299270/26_elderly5.jpg" width="619" height="322" width_o="619" height_o="322" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299270/26_elderly5_o.jpg" data-mid="1293688" border="0" align="left"/> upgrAID 1 in 3 elderly fall and injure themselves in ways that can lead to hospitalisation, a rapid decline in physical and mental condition and potentially even death. For this reason some elderly are afraid to venture out of their home for fear of falling. Ironically, staying mobile and active also contributes to healthy aging. Existing hip protection products are stigmatising and suffer from non-compliance over time. Advances in materials technologies offer new functionalities that can be incorporated into clothing. d3o is one such smart material that offers protection from impact. This idea combines a service and a product - a clothing alteration service that is offered in a rehab clinic or outpatient health center with a hip protection soft product that can be integrated into any overcoat to offer fall protection in a comfortable, non stigmatising, flexible way. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299270/26_elderly2.jpg" width="619" height="322" width_o="619" height_o="322" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299270/26_elderly2_o.jpg" data-mid="1293684" border="0" align="left"/> In collaboration with fuelfor and Ollie Niemi.

These new relationships are not unidirectional anymore – relationships in which users are the ones who demand from the object and the object obeys. The pieces of furniture in this collection do anything but facilitate what users want. They force users to perform a physical action in order to make them function. These actions keep users active. Trying to find a way around the system also implies an effort. In this case, however, it implies a physiological effort. Table This working desk has the drawers opposite to the users. Every time users need to access the drawers, they are forced to stand up and walk to get what they need from the drawers. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299124/DSC_0062.JPG" width="670" height="445" width_o="2048" height_o="1360" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299124/DSC_0062_o.JPG" data-mid="1293440" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299124/DSC_0069.JPG" width="670" height="445" width_o="2048" height_o="1360" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299124/DSC_0069_o.JPG" data-mid="1293513" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299124/DSC_0072.JPG" width="670" height="445" width_o="2048" height_o="1360" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299124/DSC_0072_o.JPG" data-mid="1293516" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299124/DSC_0084.JPG" width="670" height="445" width_o="2048" height_o="1360" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25695/299124/DSC_0084_o.JPG" data-mid="1293519" border="0" align="left"/> Lamp This lamp always needs someone holding it.
