Teaching Practices On More-Than-Human Perspectives In Hci Education – Current State And Future Paths, Eva Eriksson, Elisabet M. Nilsson, Tilde Bekker, Daisy Yoo

Learn X Design Conference Series

In times of climate emergency and artificial intelligence affecting everything in life, we must reconsider the way we teach our students how to become responsible designers of future technologies. In recent years we have seen a rise in interest in more-than-human perspectives in human-computer interaction (HCI), where more-than-human things, species, and designers move the field beyond traditional human-centred approaches. In this paper, we set out to explore how this new approach is taught, what we can learn from it, and what challenges remain. The contribution of this paper is an overview of a selection of more-than-human teaching practices and curriculum …

City governments increasingly experiment with civic participation in the procurement and the realization of smart city technologies in order to improve the incorporation of human values. In this case study, the city of X changed its procurement approach for a new camera car service that ensures an ethically responsible, privacy-friendly and secure collection of images from public space, including their metadata. Two starting points drive this change: 1) in order to have more control over the data, the municipality develops its own machine learning models for processing the images and 2) a multi-stakeholder co-design project – including a citizen panel …


Service Design To Promote A Systemic And Dynamic Perspective Of Well-Being In Dementia Care, Xiaolin Shen Oct 2023

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 Oct 2023

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 …

Embedding And Embodying Narratives In The Collaborative Development Of Life-Changing Healthcare Technologies, Cara Shaw, Farnaz Nickpour

IASDR Conference Series

In order to empower communities of practice to move towards social and design justice, it is critical to advance the archetypal role of design from passively upholding dominant narratives, to proactively uncovering, interrogating and embedding a diversity and plurality of narratives throughout a design process. This research uses the case study of designing a novel upper-limb exoskeleton to facilitate a collaborative and multidisciplinary exploration of the emerging roles of narrative at various phases and levels of an inclusive mobility design project. The ‘Design as an Agent of Narratives’ conceptual framework is adopted, which assigns three strategic narrative roles to design …

An Explorative Multiple Case Study Of Smart-Circular Pss – Status Quo In Industry, Thomas Kruschke, Theresa Riedelsheimer

IASDR Conference Series

The business as usual is not yet decoupled from current environmentally damaging value creation. This raises the continuous need for new solutions to allow for the operationalization of R-strategies. One specific approach is the establishment of smart-circular Product-Service-Systems considering all three sustainability strategies – efficiency, consistency and sufficiency – in the entire product lifecycle. Within this multiple case study, 30 existing use cases from different industries, which are already interconnected PSS, were analysed in detail using the following criteria: Level of sustainability reporting, B2B or B2C, product focus, sustainable PSS types, classification of smart PSS elements and the realization of …


Arousing “Arts Of Making” In Design: Cultivating Growing Material Societal Meanings For Sustainable Transitions, Ye Yang, Valentina Rognoli Oct 2023

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 Oct 2023

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.

Digital Patient Experience: Understanding, Improvement, And Evaluation From A Human-Centered Design Perspective, Tingting Wang

IASDR Conference Series

New information and communication technologies have been introduced to transform healthcare into digitalization (Gopal et al., 2019). Digital health offers benefits but also risks (Perakslis et al., 2023). It must be clinically effective, safe, and meet the needs of the people that will use it and be treated by it to ensure high-quality healthcare delivery. An increasing number of healthcare organisations have invested in “human centred” methods from the field of design (Erwin & Krishnan, 2016a, 2016b). Design-led approaches are shaping future healthcare (Groeneveld et al., 2018; Tsekleves & Cooper, 2017) and have the potential to provide more effective care …

Are Service Designers Positioned To Design For Sustainability?, Kendon Jung, Mauricio Mejía Oct 2023

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 …
