You can find our workshop proposal here.
Many healthcare systems around the world are noted as fragmented, complex and low-quality, leaving patients and caregivers with no choice but to engage in “infrastructuring work” to make the systems function for them. However, the work patients do to construct their functioning health service systems often remain invisible, with very little resources and technologies available to assist them.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers, health practitioners, and patients and caregivers to examine, discuss, and brainstorm ways to re-envision our healthcare service systems from the patients and caregivers’ perspectives, to unpack the types of work that they do to reconfigure, adapt and reconstruct the healthcare infrastructure, and to brainstorm possible design ideas that can provide better infrastructuring assistance to patients and caregivers.
