    Supporting designers in the sharing economy through a generative design cards toolkit
    (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2022) Fedosov, A.; Ochsenbein, L.; Huang E.; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Subaşı, Özge; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 240920
    Non-profit approaches in the sharing economy are proliferating in everyday life (e.g., tool libraries, food sharing collectives). They focus on promoting social, economic, and ecological sustainability within local communities. However, prior research uncovered emergent challenges of these communities that prevent their endurance and growth. Despite growing academic interest in studying these communities, designers found it difficult to effectively adopt newly generated knowledge in practice. Addressing the research-practice gap, we developed a translational resource for design practitioners to conceptualize new value-added features for supporting technologies in the sharing economy context. Specifically, we synthesized emergent challenges in non-profit sharing economy communities and key social and environmental sustainability efforts in design research into a familiar format for designers - the card-based toolkit to support generative design activities. Beyond introducing the toolkit, we offer a ""how-to""guide for its adoption in collaborative settings.

    Take back control of your time: design activity for reflecting on time and timekeeping practices
    (The Design Society, 2021) Umulu, Sıla; Şener, Bahar; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Yıldız, Mert; Coşkun, Aykut; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 165306
    This paper reports on the procedure and the results of a design activity carried out to reflect on time and timekeeping practices. The design activity involved a diary study followed by an idea generation workshop in the scope of a graduate level course with the participation of 12 graduate level industrial design students. The paper first explains the procedure of the design activity. Then, it presents the outcomes under two themes: i) timekeeping related insights: the students’ reflections on their timekeeping practices and ideas on how to improve these practices to support wellbeing; ii) pedagogical insights: students' thoughts and instructors’ reflections on the online diary-keeping and conducting the workshop remotely. The findings are believed to be beneficial for inspiring designers interested in designing interventions to support better time management practices; and for design educators interested in conducting remote diary study and/or workshop in distance education settings.

    Systems approach to health service design, delivery and improvement: a systematic review and meta-analysis
    (BMJ Publishing Group, 2021) Komashie, Alexander; Ward, James; Bashford, Tom; Dickerson, Terry; Kaya, Gülsüm Kübra; Liu, Yuanyuan; Kuhn, Isla; Kohler, Katharina; Boddy, Nicholas; O'Kelly, Eugenia; Masters, Joseph; Dean, John; Meads, Catherine; Clarkson, P.

    Objectives: to systematically review the evidence base for a systems approach to healthcare design, delivery or improvement. Design: systematic review with meta-analyses. Methods: included were studies in any patients, in any healthcare setting where a systems approach was compared with usual care which reported quantitative results for any outcomes for both groups. We searched Medline, Embase, HMIC, Health Business Elite, Web of Science, Scopus, PsycINFO and CINAHL from inception to 28 May 2019 for relevant studies. These were screened, and data extracted independently and in duplicate. Study outcomes were stratified by study design and whether they reported patient and/or service outcomes. Meta-analysis was conducted with Revman software V.5.3 using ORs-heterogeneity was assessed using I-2 statistics. Results: of 11 405 records 35 studies were included, of which 28 (80%) were before-and-after design only, five were both before-and-after and concurrent design, and two were randomised controlled trials (RCTs). There was heterogeneity of interventions and wide variation in reported outcome types. Almost all results showed health improvement where systems approaches were used. Study quality varied widely. Exploratory meta-analysis of these suggested favourable effects on both patient outcomes (n=14, OR=0.52 (95% CI 0.38 to 0.71) I-2=91%), and service outcomes (n=18, OR=0.40 (95% CI 0.31 to 0.52) I-2=97%). Conclusions: this study suggests that a systems approaches to healthcare design and delivery results in a statistically significant improvement to both patient and service outcomes. However, better quality studies, particularly RCTs are needed.
