Advanced service co-design has conversation in a central role since stakeholder and participants need to understand, decide, and cooperate on acting.

In such a case, design may be seen as a conversational process for learning and acting together.

Jonathan Romm is a PhD candidate at AHO and this project is part of his ongoing thesis ‘Embedded design labs for Patient-Centric Healthcare Service Design‘. About Jonathan ︎

As a designer and co-researcher, I am supporting Jonathan in compiling, taging and analysing the collected research across two batches (2018, 2019).  

A co-authored paper based on this work was presented at the 9th Relating Systems Thinking and Design Symposium, NID Ahmedabad, 2020.

Part 1: Collection
Research with students

As part of their ongoing design course, master students were asked to view conversations, their contexts & accompanying mediating means as the central elements of enquiry for provoking reaction on action and analysis.

Each student kept a comprehensive record in form of a diary, compiling their analysis into a maps.

Part 2: Consolidation and Structuring
