Design is at the centre of DHI, and is embedded throughout every stage of our unique Innovation Process Model. This expertise is brought to the DHI by The Glasgow School of Art's Innovation School, a core partner since our launch in 2013.
The Innovation School describes Design-Led Innovation as a structured process of collaboration with the expertise and/or experiences of others, achieved through:
The DHI's multi-disciplinary team of Innovation Designers and Creative Technologists apply this expertise in collaborative creativity, coupled with world-leading and internationally excellent research in health & care innovation, to our work.
We aim to develop scalable, adoption-ready solutions using an approach that is person-centred, not technology-driven.
At every stage of the process the design of artefacts, interactions and experiences is utilised to elicit expert knowledge, incorporate individual and social experience, and acknowledge observable behaviours and processes. This activity is undertaken in pursuit of goals that often cannot be defined at a project outset, a common challenge associated with complex health and wellbeing projects.
We challenge traditional perceptions of design, and promote new ways of thinking, doing and designing, which we apply in diverse and complex real-world health and care contexts.
Storytelling is a powerful design tool. Using narrative and visual methods, we work with stakeholders to create current and future state maps, to help envision 'preferable futures' for health and care services.
We create environments where, through creative practice and using bespoke methods and tools, people can interact, collaborate and explore new ideas.
Through visualisation, collaborative making, prototyping, and simulation we enable the translation of insights into future health and care products, services, and systems.
