HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS DESIGN: A SANDBOX of CURRENT RESEARCH THEMES PRESENTED at AN INTERNATIONAL MEETING

Abstract

Healthcare systems are under strain, this creates a challenge for designers to develop solutions for better health and care delivery. This paper presents a sandbox of illustrative design themes used to improve health systems based on state of the art research projects. These were collated from presentations at The Second International Meeting on Healthcare Systems Design Research, held at DTU-Technical University of Denmark. Attending groups were mapped based on their research keywords, target journals and methodologies in order to gain insight on the communities research landscape.
