The principle of personalisation appears in a range of current
debates among design professionals, healthcare providers and
educationalists about the implications of new technologies and
approaches to consumer sovereignty for 'mass' provision. The
potential of new technologies implies systems of provision that
offer bespoke support to their users, tailoring services and
experiences to suit individual needs. The assumption that
individual choice automatically increases wellbeing has underlain
the re-design of public services. Ubiquitous personalisation in
screen-based environments gives individuals the sense that their
personality is reflected back at them. Advances in Artificial
Intelligence mean our personal intelligent agents have begun to
acquire personality. Given its prevalence, it is appropriate to
identify the scope of this phenomenon that is altering our
relationship to the 'non-human' world. This book presents taxonomy
of personalisation, and its potential consequences for the design
profession as well as its ethical and political dimensions through
a collection of essays from a range of academic perspectives. The
thought-provoking introduction, conclusion and nine chapters
present a well-balanced mixture of in-depth literature review and
practical examples to deepen our understanding of the consequences
of personalisation for our professional and personal lives.
Collectively, this book points towards the implications of
personalisation for design-led social innovation. This will be
valuable reading for professionals in the design industry and
health provision, as well as students of product design, fashion
and sociology.
