Co-design for digital health: software interface prototyping
Overview: Many digital health products and services take the form of smartphone apps and online tools for treating, diagnosing or managing conditions, preventing ill health, or promoting public health. Interface prototyping (dashboard design) is a method of ‘mocking up’ what the screen (interface) might look like, how it could work (e.g., buttons, navigation menu, the information in text boxes, etc.), and how your end users might experience it. The prototyping process helps you and your co-design participants communicate what you want to achieve to a software engineer, developer, or designer.
This workshop will introduce you to the key features and stages of interface prototyping so that you can develop ideas with end users (participants). It will provide advice on tools and techniques for prototyping interfaces with them both digitally and on paper.
This workshop is for you if you are a UK-based health or care professional, manager, researcher, student, patient, family carer, or Small to Medium sized Enterprise using or (or interested in using) a co-design process and methods to develop a digital health technology. You can be at any stage of a project.
This is an in-person workshop only. Tea and coffee will be provided.
This workshop is free to attend.
Facilitators: This workshop will be led by Dr Siobhan O'Connor, and supported by design researchers Dr Lili Golmohammadi and Emelia Delaney
About the Co-design support programme at the KHP Digital Health Hub: Co-design – the process of creating and developing a product or service in collaboration with all those involved in its use – can be a highly effective way to improve digital health and care, and business outcomes. This workshop is part of a pilot programme of co-design support offerings at the EPSRC-funded King’s Health Partners Digital Health Hub, a multi-disciplinary centre helping those interested in developing a digital health innovation from conception to implementation. We are based at the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering.
Additional resources: If you would like to learn more about the co-design process and related methods and tools, please take a look at our free online Co-design for Digital Health course and Co-design Methods Library. The course consists of 6 X 20 minute recorded sessions with follow-up questions and links to specific co-design methods in our library, and can be completed in your own time. We host 30-minute 1-2-1 advice sessions on co-design for digital health, for further information and to book, please visit our booking page.
Disclaimer: We would like to collect feedback as part of our ongoing research into supporting and pioneering co-design methods and tools for digital health.
