One of the most complex global challenges is improving wellbeing
and developing strategies for promoting health or preventing
'illbeing' of the population. The role of designers in indirectly
supporting the promotion of healthy lifestyles or in their
contribution to illbeing has emerged. This means designers now need
to consider, both morally and ethically, how they can ensure that
they 'do no harm' and that they might deliberately decide to
promote healthy lifestyles and therefore prevent ill health. Design
for Health illustrates the history of the development of design for
health, the various design disciplines and domains to which design
has contributed. Through 26 case studies presented in this book,
the authors reveal a plethora of design research methodologies and
research methods employed in design for health. The editors also
present, following a thematic analysis of the book chapters, seven
challenges and seven areas of opportunity that designers are called
upon to address within the context of healthcare. Furthermore, five
emergent trends in design in healthcare are presented and
discussed. This book will be of interest to students of design as
well as designers and those working to improve the quality of
healthcare.
