Mirra, M. (author)The application of timber-based strengthening solutions to existing wooden and masonry structures, combines several benefits, such as reversibility, compatibility, lightness, sustainability, affordability, and effectiveness. With reference to existing timber floors, an efficient method to enhance their seismic response is the fastening of an...journal article 2024

Jung, Jiwon (author)The research question of this doctoral thesis is: What can be the future impact of design (activities) in digital health, given the rise of data collection and analysis technologies? I answered this question on three knowledge levels: design vision, knowledge-generating approach, and design tool. In Chapter 1, I envision design activities for...doctoral thesis 2023

Buso, A. (author), McQuillan, H.L. (author), Voorwinden, M. (author), Karana, E. (author)A woven textile-form is a form that is constructed simultaneously as the textile is woven. Interfaces designed with this approach hold undisclosed potential for rich interactions. However, the design of woven textile-form interfaces requires specialised tacit knowledge, which is limited even in craft and practice spaces; and it is therefore...conference paper 2023

Cash, Philip (author), Daalhuizen, Jaap (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)The increasingly transdisciplinary context of design, where designers collaborate with other disciplinary and domain experts, means there is a growing need to evidence the effectiveness of design methods. We address this need in two ways. First, we propose a ‘chain of evidence’, from motivation to claims, operationalising this in a systematic...journal article 2023

Li, M. (author), Houwing, L.D. (author), Albayrak, A. (author), Shidujaman, Mohammad (author), van Eijk, D.J. (author)Understanding humans are the key to developing optimal design solutions for product-service systems. In this sense, the experiential approach is in line but might go beyond typical Human Centered Design (HCD) methods in that it focuses on generating positive experiences that contribute directly to human well-being. Extended Reality (XR)...conference paper 2023

Martínez Castro, J.F. (author), Buso, A. (author), Wu, J. (author), Karana, E. (author)Shape-changing textile interfaces have the potential to create unique functions, expressions, and interactions in everyday artifacts. However, the technical expertise required to fabricate and interact with these interfaces limits designers from rapidly iterating through diverse textile expressions. This pictorial presents TEX(alive), a low...conference paper 2022

Sanz Segura, R. (author), Manchado-Pérez, Eduardo (author), Özcan, Elif (author)Designing alarms to address the increasing complexity of dynamic and interconnected systems in current socio-technological environments presents multi-faceted design problems that require systematic thinking and a collaborative and holistic approach. To understand the alarm design challenges better, we map out the design space for audible...journal article 2022

Wang, G. (author)According to Person-Centred Care, as far as possible, people with dementia should be cared for in a way that takes into account their personality, life experiences and preferences. Personalisation is hence the core of Person-Centred Care, yet the approaches, recommendations and tools are lacking for this purpose. Therefore, the author...doctoral thesis 2021

Wang, G. (author), Albayrak, A. (author), Hogervorst, Eef (author), van der Cammen, T.J.M. (author)Personalisation is a crucial element in providing person-centred care for people with de-mentia. This paper presents the development and evaluation of a design toolkit to facilitate the work of designers and healthcare professionals in personalising dementia care. This toolkit, named “Know-me”, was grounded in the findings of Ergonomics in...journal article 2021

Kleinsmann, M.S. (author), Bhömer, Martijn Ten (author)This paper investigates different roles that prototypes play during the development of digital Product Service Systems (PSSs). A literature review reveals that prototyping supports designers during the design process, as well as during knowledge sharing processes with stakeholders. To create a better understanding of these two co-existing...journal article 2020

Lee, Y. (author), Breuer, C.V. (author), Schifferstein, Hendrik N.J. (author)Food design is a relatively new discipline that requires designers to become familiar with several areas that are not currently covered in many design curricula, such as agriculture, the food industry, culinary processes and the hospitality industry. To inspire, enrich and facilitate food design processes, we developed and tested a card set...journal article 2020

van Gemert, J.H.F. (author), Brink, Wyger (author), Webb, A. (author), Remis, R.F. (author)Purpose: High-permittivity materials in the form of flexible “dielectric pads” have proved very useful for addressing RF inhomogeneities in high field MRI systems. Finding the optimal design of such pads is, however, a tedious task, reducing the impact of this technique. We present an easy-to-use software tool which allows researchers and...journal article 2019
