What is your preferred future life in 2050 in Sweden?


Health Cascade researcher Qingfan An (ESR 13) located at Umeå University, are focusing on co-creation of eHealth tools in a hospital context. Three sessions were held: a co-conception session, a co-envision session, and a co-design session to address the wicked problem of early discharge in COPD care in Sweden. The co-conception session was held on 7th Dec 2022, through the problem mapping process, reasons and consequences for early discharge inn COPD care were identified collaboratively by stakeholders (physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, dietitians, family members of patients, people with COPD). In the co-envision session held on 10th Jan 2023, co-creators used a card deck adapted from Situation Lab’s “The Things From The Future” to explore the lifestyle-based future scenarios desired by all stakeholders. On 24th Jan 2023, co-design session was held using the method of Provotype to provoke and engage co-creators to imagine possible intervention points. If you’re interested, please keep an eye out for the following planned sessions. For more information feel free to contact qingfan.an@umu.se
