Planning and facilitating co-design workshops for digital health

​Co-design workshops offer a flexible and exploratory space to collaborate, generate insights, ideate, and verify and review a project’s direction. They offer a joint experience for the end users who take part, are an efficient and fun way to scaffold the introduction of concepts and design methods, and gain end-users’ creative trust and input.   

​This session introduces co-design workshops in the context of digital health. These workshops often bring together a several methods (for example, mind mapping, and rapid prototyping). We will discuss the opportunities and challenges of taking this approach, and offer case studies, practical tips, and activities to support co-design workshop planning and facilitation.  

​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. 

​Facilitators: This workshop will be facilitated by design researchers Dr Emelia Delaney and Dr Lili Golmohammadi, with Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement members Mel Getty.

​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 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.
