Traditional ideas about design teach us that design is about concrete situations and devising solutions, and being creative within the constraints of production, cost and material use. Speculative design shifts the focus to redefining these conditions, creating space for alternatives, and exploring alternative societies and actions. This session provides a concrete example of speculative design in healthcare and allows you to experience the potential added value of speculative design. You will learn how speculative design connects to futures research and strategy, and how working with multiple perspectives and disciplines strengthens the process of envisioning alternative futures for health and care.
