About Us
An emphasis on design and design research in interdisciplinary healthcare projects allows for the rapid development and prototyping of objects, environments, systems and services. Design Research for Health and Wellbeing responds to this need for design thinking, using creative practice-based research methods to help care providers and care users better understand and communicate the lived experience of health care.
Within this context, design integrates all creative practice within the Division of Education, Arts and social Sciences, including fine art, architecture, and illustration, as well as product, communication, and interior design, animation, and digital media.
The creative practice-based research across diverse disciplines responds to issues like non-communicable disease management, preventative care, antibiotic resistance, and aging communities, working towards the creation of agile healthcare services.
