Improving public participation in the development of Portuguese health policy requires an approach to enable public to participate in a more equal and recipro-cal partnership. Although the Portuguese State highlights the importance of en-couraging public participation to address national problems, the National Health Council reports that public participation in health matters is limited. This brings the question of how does the current Portuguese health policymaking process promotes outcomes that address all key stakeholders needs? This paper presents two case studies where design approaches were used to enable a range of people to participate in health and care innovation. The paper discusses the importance of participatory co-design methods to enhance public participation in health in-novation in Portugal. It highlights reflections for a collaborative model as an ena-bler for healthcare innovation.

In the study we present, the effects of different types of light (natural or artificial), different types of texts (scientific and children's) and different reading formats (on screen and on paper) on our readability are addressed, as well as determining the preference of each participant for reading tasks and to what extent reading with natural light and with influences of artificial light affects their readability in design, and how the reading process could be done more effectively, through manipulation of lighting variables. The experiments were based on different tasks, which required 10 participants, to read two different texts (children's text and scientific text), in two different formats (print and screen) under two different types of lighting (natural light and artificial light). During reading, we recorded the following parameters: Heart rate and EEG signal (levels of calm, neutral and active (%) using two devices: a heart rate monitor to measure heart rate and Muse, a brain detection headband that uses real-time biofeedback in its brain activity, which we used to monitor brain activity. After completing the protocol, participants answered a questionnaire to collect data on their reading preferences and were composed of three parts: the first part consisted of questions aimed at collecting demographic information from the participants (age, nationality, and other useful data for our research); the second part addressed three questions about the participants reading preferences; the third part was designed to explore the participants opinions about the test and their comfortability. We conclude that participants prefer reading on paper rather than on screen and their performance was better in reading with artificial light. Although reading with natural light was the preference of most participants, reading with artificial light provides better performance in performing the tasks. These findings could help designers to better understand the roles of lighting variables in the reading process and to create light design products that are more efficient, sustainable, and comfortable.

To create livable cities, to guarantee the well-being of individuals and to promote social cohesion, it is necessary to adopt a more holistic approach to urban development. Designing public space by responding to the challenges and opportunities of constant change is an increasingly relevant area of study for design. Among urban planning tools, the reuse of buildings for a function for which they were not intended to is a strategy that has become unavoidable, particularly because of its social and environmental benefits. The process of reuse promotes urban regeneration, interaction and attachment to place, while simultaneously ensuring continuity between past, present and future. In the case of the reuse of industrial heritage buildings, the modes of preservation and enhancement are influenced by institutions such as UNESCO or TICCIH (The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage) which aim to protect cultural heritage, but at the same time can lead to uniform results. However, to enhance public space and for communities to get involved into projects to transform their cities, it seems essential to address identity and local issues. In this framework, the holistic design approach - that involves a particular attention to context combined with the need for change - can enable the development of subtle and intelligent solutions that make cities more attractive. When we think of holistic design, we usually think of the human factor, a set of functions designed to facilitate and improve the life of the user.This article aims to contribute to the discussion about the role of the holistic design and user experience towards sustainable cultural heritage through the discussion of a particular study case: the FCCVA (Fábrica Centro Ciência Viva de Aveiro/Fábrica-Center of Living Science Center from Aveiro).
为创造宜居城市，保障个人福祉，促进社会凝聚力，有必要对城市发展采取更全面的办法。通过应对不断变化的挑战和机遇来设计公共空间是一个越来越相关的设计研究领域。在城市规划工具中，将建筑物重新用于其不打算用于的功能是一种不可避免的策略，特别是因为其社会和环境效益。再利用的过程促进了城市的再生、互动和对地方的依恋，同时确保了过去、现在和未来之间的连续性。在工业遗产建筑再利用的情况下，保护和增强的模式受到联合国教科文组织或TICCIH(国际工业遗产保护委员会)等机构的影响，这些机构旨在保护文化遗产，但同时也可以产生统一的结果。然而，为了加强公共空间，让社区参与到改造城市的项目中来，解决身份和地方问题似乎是必不可少的。在这个框架中，整体设计方法——包括特别关注环境与变化的需要——可以使微妙和智能的解决方案的发展，使城市更具吸引力。当我们想到整体设计时，我们通常会想到人的因素，一套旨在方便和改善用户生活的功能。本文旨在通过对一个特定研究案例的讨论，探讨整体设计和用户体验对可持续文化遗产的作用:FCCVA (Fábrica Centro Ciência Viva de Aveiro/Fábrica-Center Aveiro的生命科学中心)。

This project emerges from the need to counteract a scenario of risk and unpredictability in the care provided to patients in illness situations, which stems from a poor or non-existent health record system (HRS). The direct contact in the year of 2017 with an emergency medical Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), working in context of humanitarian crises, demonstrated the precarious and yet scarce presence of such a system. The lack of practicality, easy understanding and access to other health partners proved to compromise the quality of care.Since a functional HRS (via paper or electronic means) is a core component for the management, delivery, and safety of quality in healthcare, the identification of a simple and yet effective system, capable of maintaining a history of care provided, is imperative. This need increases exponentially when the focus is on a humanitarian crisis context, in which populations have been forced into displacement and the health system is disrupted, of which the Internal Displaced Persons in Iraq are an example (commonly referred as refugees). The constraint of resources and the clash of different cultures and experiences between professionals, can hinder or even compromise the provision and quality of care, as well as the experience and perception of patients themselves regarding the services provided.With this study I propose the mapping of a HRS within an emergency medical field hospital, in a refugee camp in Iraq, to ensure the quality of emergency management and delivery of care, in a scenario of instability and political uncertainty. This system, which functions as a systematically collected database, presents specific health characteristics of a given patient when receiving differentiated care essential to guarantee high standards of care.A service design methodology to test the hypothesis will be used through a service blueprint development, capable of mapping the activities, processes and systems involved in a patient's health experience. Design research methods such as service safari and user shadowing with informal ethnographic interviews will be implemented, as well as workshops with national and international health professionals involved with NGO work.Thus, it is expected to re-design a robust monitoring and patient track, with faster access of the patient’s history to health professionals, a better prevention of medication errors and duplication, and a greater transparency in the management and delivery of care. The easy implementation of the system will also allow an easier communication of patient’s needs and care, between different health stakeholders.

As design theory and practice evolve, understanding the impacts that a designer’s choices will have on the larger community are more important than ever. While designers have always sought to shape the world around us, and (for the most part) serve as a positive force in improving people’s lives, designers today are reckoning with the unintended and unforeseen consequences of poor decision making, and the poor understanding of culture of past designers. Looking into various definitions of design, past movements that sought to alter the design process, and their effectiveness and criticisms, we can start to understand the need for a new form kind of design practice.The biggest issue has been a lack of understanding of local cultures, and especially of value systems, as part of the design process. This has led to designers working off of perceptions of what people value, rather than understanding those value systems before intervening. Here, the relatively new field of design anthropology holds promise, as it provides a new approach to design; one that does not look to create for a universal ideal, but instead infuses design with the perspective of multiplicity.This paper explores the evolution of Design Anthropology, dissects the similarities and differences between design and anthropology, and looks at ways in which this new field can influence traditional design processes and practices. The goal is to create design process that seeks to understand and empathize with the culture and value systems of a community, rather than just disrupt or supersede them.

In the field of healthcare design, a great revolution is taking place. The use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, and in particular the great success of smartwatches, fit bands, and specific wearable medical devices allowed people to self-monitor their health parameters. At the same time, physicians were allowed to track, assist, make diagnoses, and prescribe treatments, remotely. Everything is done with the collection of and analysis of high-quality data, assisted by Artificial Intelligence (AI) (Forgan; 2021; Chiapponi & Ciotti, 2015; Islam et. al, 2015). At the same time, the easier accessibility to sensory technology, the high-speed internet connection, and rate of adoption of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), which are altogether known as eXtended Reality (XR), is accelerating innovations, with the digital experiences expected to become even more immersive.According to a recent report of Sony Ericsson® the biggest trend for future technology developments until 2030, will be the evolution from IoT (Internet of things) to IoS (Internet of Senses). Nowadays, we can use XR solutions to support patients’ recovery, promote mental health, or treat chronic pain conditions, but, digital communications are still audio-visual. In the next decade, it is expected that devices, sensors, and actuators, and software would enable these experiences to become even richer, through the concomitant use of all our senses, and merging the digital and the physical reality. This type of experience is based on the Internet of Senses.This revolution will drive designers to create more immersive environments. Future experiences with the diffuse use of haptic feedback will be enriched with digital flavors/aromas, more sophisticated haptic stimulations, and immersive interfaces. Future experiences are going to involve multiple sensory modalities, opening interesting possibilities for multi-sensory and cross-sensory interactions.

Efforts have been made to develop a collaborative model to engage healthcare professionals and patients in healthcare services and resources improvement (Neves et al. 2021) This paper aims to understand how a collaborative model can enhance how design researchers work with healthcare communities in Portugal. Within relation to the development of a patient monitoring system to support patient safety for hospitalised people, this paper reports how design researchers are collaborating with the more traditional healthcare support specialisms in the research team. The design researchers are introducing methods and tools to involve all key stakeholders (i.e., nurses, doctors and patient and public representatives) in the design of the new patient monitoring system, which involves the continuous monitoring of vital signs for early detection of clinical deterioration to ensure patient safety in emergency care at the hospital. Specifically, through the nature of co-design workshops and the use of participative tools, these approaches are intended to better empower patients and healthcare professionals in this co-development process, to allow them to mediate the decision-making process in this context. This paper presents the first phase of this co-development process, highlighting the importance of using a participatory co-design approach to enable healthcare professionals and patients to voice their issues when developing a patient monitoring system.

This paper discusses the contribution of remote work to metropolitan areas’ resilience, sustainability, inclusion, and equity. These premises are the support of smart and 15-minute city models. The traditional model of idealization, planning, and living in metropolitan areas is based on the automobile, in the commuting movements, and in a dependent relationship between city centre and suburbs. The pandemic context exposed, in practice, the choice and the need for a human centred design model for metropolitan areas planning. The disrupted reality experienced in the last two years exposed the need to change traditional practices to guarantee global, and local sustainability. Remote work impacts commuting as well as the interactions between individuals and their home environs. To support this statement, the case studies of Paris and Barcelona, are both examples of 15-minute city model implementation. In the end, some questions: Why insist on unsustainable commuting centred planning? If the remote work experience along the lockdown was positively perceived, why its adoption is so difficult, almost impossible?

One of the main focuses of research in healthcare involves the processing of large amounts of data accumulated in Electronic Health Records and their communication in an interactive, understandable, and adequate way to the needs of each user, either healthcare professionals, patients, or care givers. One way of conveying the information to all of them is in a graphical way. There are, traditionally, two types of graphic models for data presentation: Cartesian/linear mod- els and radial models. From literature one can observe that there is an increasing interest in radial models to analyze and present large amounts of data. In this paper an exploratory study is presented aiming to understand how radial visualization model evolved throughout history, as well as its importance and relevance in data visualization with a particular interest in clinical data. The methodology used is focused on case studies found in literature, collecting all the relevant references about the radial visualization model and conclude on their weaknesses and strengths.

A responsive smart product can connect with a network, to sense and gain awareness as well as to react to input signals and align with them. This paper describes the product requirements gathering process to assist the development of a responsive bathroom mirror connected with emergency centres for elderly support. The rapidly increasing ageing population has led to increased number of elderly people living alone. In this sense it is essential to pursue strategies that can guarantee ageing in place safely, independently, and with confidence, and improve the quality of life of those who wish to continue living in their own living environment. Driven by recent advances in technology, the development of smart products that can respond to human needs and wants, and to improve everyday tasks, became a tangible reality. When smart products are developed for senior citizens daily support, responding to what their expectations are and whether they are satisfied with them, and what opportunities and worries they associate with their age, overcoming technological barriers from the user's point of view, it will have a huge impact on the communities: older people, their families, and the healthcare system. To address these issues, this paper provides a systematic identification of product requirements, technological and from user’s point of view, for the future development of a responsive mirror. Towards a holist development approach, first, existing studies on smart products, research on related technological trends and development were reviewed, supplemented with case studies of existing smart products for healthcare. The first list of requirements was developed from this research. Additionally, studies and public statistics were analysed to confirm the relation between domestic environment and high levels of injuries, as well as places and situations of the accidents that have high impact on health and well-being. Smart products typically have a strong sense of technology. Being a mirror a product that is used in a daily basis, it is mandatory to gather simultaneously the user’s preferences and technological requirements. Based on a systematic approach, a Kano Model was developed; requirements were synthesized and organized within a comprehensive user requirement framework delineating three levels of needs: basic, performance and delight. Research from the field of smart products demonstrated that there are several technological trends that can be applied to mirrors, that there are smart mirrors for applications in automobile and fashion industries. Nevertheless, examples of these products in healthcare remains limited. Additionally, recent technological developments enable the development of a responsive smart mirror that not only serve as an interface for displaying information but can predict the presence of the user.
