The healthcare environment can greatly benefit from well-established design processes: they provide tools and expertise to develop solutions for people’s specific needs. Designers’ approach is to ensure that people are the focal point of a care solution, by empathically partnering with people with different backgrounds and expertise and by iterative prototyping.
The materials collected in this page are aimed to offer a first glimpse of successful application of this symbiosis and some theoretical and practical know-how on how to start off.
Stories, news and events are accessible on this platform, both online and offline. In our Resources section you have always access to downloadable materials, and on each resource you will find instructions on how to make good use of them. Use cases are a selection of careables that we believe are representative of good careable principles: well designed, in terms of process, and well documented. You can read them on Welder.app website, where all careables are stored. By exploring their documentation and other features you can get a practical sense of what means to deal with careables’ practical issues and potential.
