Service Design To Promote A Systemic And Dynamic Perspective Of Well-Being In Dementia Care, Xiaolin Shen
IASDR Conference Series
With the population aging, the number of people with dementia in Europe is projected to rise from 9.95 million in 2010 to 18.65 million in 2050 (WHO, 2017). Due to a cluster of behavioural and psychological symptoms, people with dementia often show high dependent on others, resulting in a wide range of complex care needs for performing normal activities of daily living (WHO, 2017). However, the current focus of the healthcare systems is mainly on diagnosis, yet people living with dementia require and depend on their own care partners for support in their daily lives (Burgdorf et al., 2019). Dementia …

Personhood: Defined, Collected, And Integrated, Amber De Coen
IASDR Conference Series
Person-centred care (PCC) has been a prominent topic in the healthcare industry for several decades. Although there are various conceptualizations and definitions of PCC, the fundamental idea is that the focus of care should be on the 'person' rather than the 'patient' (Entwistle & Watt, 2013). This means that to practice true PCC, it is essential to understand who a person is, what they value in life, and acknowledge their personhood. However, for non-verbal persons receiving care, recognizing their personhood can be challenging for formal and informal carers. Most current tools and methods rely on cognitive and verbal abilities that …

Arousing “Arts Of Making” In Design: Cultivating Growing Material Societal Meanings For Sustainable Transitions, Ye Yang, Valentina Rognoli
Arousing “Arts Of Making” In Design: Cultivating Growing Material Societal Meanings For Sustainable Transitions, Ye Yang, Valentina Rognoli
IASDR Conference Series
Under the industrial mass production of the 20th century, “making” is controllable and directed by “thinking” in artifact design activities, which formalizes the dominant pattern of “reactive making”, meaning “making following thinking”. The initiative of “making” has been continually weakened and overlooked. Meanwhile, properties of the physical material are defined by the disciplines of Science and Engineering, acting as the “tags” or “surface textures” in CAD for designers to select after the conceptualizing process in design practices. We found tons of nameless and meaningless materials have been surged forth in an uncontrolled way, which has grown a cultural and societal …
Are All Pokémons Created Equal? Assessing The Value-Neutrality Of Pokémon Tcg Design Process, Minoru Matsui
Are All Pokémons Created Equal? Assessing The Value-Neutrality Of Pokémon Tcg Design Process, Minoru Matsui
IASDR Conference Series
The cultural evolution research program is useful for quantitatively explaining complex creative processes such as design. From a design studies perspective, its variation generation process is particularly intriguing. However, cultural transmission theorists have long modelled the process as a random novelty invention, far from the real-life modern design process. Here we show an instance of such a deviation, examining how the design process and its resulting frequencies of Pokémon TCG variants deviate from a neutral model in which an agent randomly selects and introduces cultural variants to the population from the design pool.

Are Service Designers Positioned To Design For Sustainability?, Kendon Jung, Mauricio Mejía
IASDR Conference Series
We have designed systems that influence the daily choices of 8 billion people and have brought our world to the brink of collapse as a result. In this context, designers, in general, have been concerned with sustainability for a long time. While the field has acknowledged that not only product design but also services and systems are spaces to address sustainability, much of the literature has centered on creating methods and tools. This work could be limited in preparing designers for action because prescriptive guides are rarely easy to implement in designing activities. Leveraging design to intentionally shift a linear …
