This paper describes the findings of a participatory-design project focussed on the use of modern, digital technologies to support people and their carer(s) in particular to improve access to services, better co-ordinate services and to make support packages more resilient. Design activities included a focus group and three participatory design workshops with health and care professionals, and several interviews with unpaid carers in Moray. The findings are presented as design concepts and insights that should help health and care delivery including supporting unpaid carers. The paper contributes four concepts alongside insights from unpaid carers. The concepts are at the time of writing being developed for future use in the region and the paper therefore describes the process of procuring simulated healthcare services to increase learning and improve the adoption of innovative service changes. The resulting commissioned innovative services, and long-lasting benefits of the service innovation, should economically benefit Moray. < Return to resources Participatory design of service innovation to support people and their carers in Moray Bradley, Jay., Joseph, Sonya Lizbeth., Shore, Linda, Harkis, Marlene.

In times of rapid social, economic, environmental, and technological change designers can play a valuable role by applying their creativity to catalyse innovative solutions to address complex problems. As they do so, it becomes apparent they need to ask fundamental questions about what they make, how they make it, and who for. The mindsets and postures of designers often go unnoticed and unacknowledged, but they profoundly influence what is identified as a problem and how it is framed and addressed. This paper draws upon a research project titled ‘CO/DEsign’, which explores the application of agile co-design methods in an endeavour to understand and identify the most appropriate approach for rigorous analysis. The ‘CO/DEsign’ project argues that, while it is important to draw upon other disciplines and borrow methods such as thematic analysis, further methods should be developed that better represent and support designers and their approaches. < Return to resources Code Design: the role of boundary objects in research analysis Johnson, Michael and Ballie, Jen and Thorup, Tine and Brooks, Elizabeth In times of rapid social, economic, environmental, and technological change designers can play a valuable role by applying their creativity to catalyse innovative solutions to address complex problems.

There is a need when introducing new technology in health and social care settings to involve those who will use the technology, or be affected by it, at an early stage of the design process. Experience Labs employ a participatory approach for different stakeholders to share lived experiences, and collaboratively create ideas and solutions for health and social care challenges. In this paper, we propose that the participatory approach of the Experience Labs provides a valuable space for collaboration to explore the potential and impact of supportive technology in rural communities. Initial findings suggest that participating in Experience Labs leads to a better understanding of communities of care as established by individuals and support structures in place, and how these can be mediated by technology. < Return to resources Designing in Rural Highland Contexts: Exploring the Role of Technology in Facilitating Human Connections French, Tara and Blom, Jeroen and Raman, Sneha There is a need when introducing new technology in health and social care settings to involve those who will use the technology, or be affected by it, at an early stage of the design process.

The Personal Data Store (PDS), or "Backpack," aimed to enhance service access and enable integrated, person-centred care. In partnership with Mydex CIC, NHS Grampian, and Moray Social Health and Care Partnership, DHI worked with MS patients and professionals to improve personal information management for better service experiences. < Return to projects Backpack - Person-owned Data Store Project impact Set a precedent for person-owned data store concepts which are now in development in DHI Exchange Person-centred vision at the heart of development Identification of key principles and the co-creation of four overarching concepts to shape the development of the Personal Data Store (PDS) The Personal Data Store (PDS), or "Backpack," aimed to enhance service access and enable integrated, person-centred care. In partnership with Mydex CIC, NHS Grampian, and Moray Social Health and Care Partnership, DHI worked with MS patients and professionals to improve personal information management for better service experiences. The Personal Data Store (PDS), herein referred to as the ‘Backpack’, was proposed as an opportunity to improve the experience of accessing services and enable integrated and person-centred care. The project explored the potential solution developed by our project partners: Mydex CIC - a Community Interest Company that specialises in personal data management - together with NHS Grampian and Moray Social Health and Care Partnership. The overall aims of the research project were to explore how people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) would like to manage their personal information in order to improve the experience of accessing services and to understand the potential of the Backpack to support health and care professionals to deliver more integrated and person-centred care. To meet these aims, DHI led a participatory design process with people living with MS and health and social care professionals. People living with MS were identified as highly knowledgeable co-design participants, due to the complex and progressive nature of the condition, requiring wide-ranging interactions with statutory services. Summary Analysis of the conversations, maps and prototypes led to a wealth of insight about the current experience and challenges of service users and providers. A set of principles were identified to shape the development of the PDS and co-created four overarching, but complementary, concepts to inform development. Concept 1: Mapping Interactions The Backpack should map the care interactions around the person, providing high-level information to make visible the complex network of professionals supporting the person. This could be shown as a circle of care or on a timeline. Concept 2: Health Story A 'Health Story' would provide a space within the Backpack for the person to share their story in their own words, using video or written narrative, supported by key dates and facts, avoiding emotionally draining and time-consuming repetition for the person. Concept 3: Smart Form Filling The Backpack could fill up with information as the person completes forms and automatically draws in data from existing sources. The Backpack could intelligently compare data against eligibility criteria, highlighting any appropriate services they may be entitled to access and verifying eligibility for services (e.g. Blue Badge for parking). Concept 4: Tools for the Specialist MS Nurse With permission from the Backpack owner, the system would notify the MS nurse of any changes in their condition or circumstances recorded by the person or their health and care professionals enabling the nurse to better prioritise people who may need their support and email patients via the Backpack. Impact & value Both people living with MS and health and care professionals were very positive about the concept of the Backpack, and saw how it could be used to improve communication and make services more person-centred. We also learned some general qualities people living with MS value from the people and services that support them. Services should be orientated around their personal goals and needs, and should seek to offer convenience to make everyday life easier. People valued services and places that felt safe and welcoming; and professionals who showed understanding about the challenges of living with MS, and were knowledgeable about the people and services that could help. Progress to date The DHI continues to develop and test the concepts outlined by building and developing prototypes in different contexts in our DHI Exchange programme of work.
