ABSTRACT
This paper describes the use of Experience Based Design (EBD), a participatory methodology for healthcare service design, to improve the outpatient service for older people at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals. The challenges in moving from stories to designing improvements, co-designing for wicked problems, and the effects of participants' limited scopes of action are discussed. It concludes by proposing that such problems are common to participatory service design in large institutions and recommends that future versions of EBD incorporate more tools to promote divergent thinking.

Service design and participatory design: time to join forces?
PDC '20: Proceedings of the 16th Participatory Design Conference 2020 - Participation(s) Otherwise - Volume 2We address the theme of “participation(s) otherwise” by bringing forward what we see as an opportunity to combine existing participatory and service design approaches to participation in the way they weave connections between design, IT, digitalization ...
Engaging older people using participatory design
CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThe use of digital technologies is increasingly proposed in health and social care to address the aging population phenomenon but, in practice, the designers of these technologies are ill equipped to design for older people. We suggest participatory ...
A systematic literature review on user centered design and participatory design with older people
IHC '19: Proceedings of the 18th Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing SystemsUser-centered design (UCD) and participatory design (PD) are framework for developing applications suitable for the users' characteristics. However, UCD/PD provide little guidance on how to involve older people in the development process. We performed a ...
