Co-Creating Future Healthcare Inventions

Futures Collective

We are interested in the future of care and medicine and how speculative design can enable people to imagine health and care inventions for 25 years in the future… This project will focus on imagining and prototyping – or modelling – artefacts of the future in a series of creative workshops. Giving focus to imaginative artefacts of the future – which will explore the convergence of science, technology, and patient-provider dynamics – will allow participants the opportunity to visualise, share, and interact with objects that embody or relate to healthcare issues. The artefacts will also facilitate participants in imagining and discussing future scenarios that will meet their health needs and aspirations.
