In the autumn of 2021 students of collaborative and industrial design were challenged by a brief set by a by The Nordic Council of Ministers and Region Västerbotten. The students were asked to illustrate how the future of healthcare and social care will look like by 2030 and beyond. You can read more about the course and brief here.
In teams of 3–4, the students worked for six weeks in November–December 2021. The teams produced seven concepts that tackle current problems of the Nordic healthcare system with a vision in 2030. The solutions range from supporting mental wellbeing (MONCOM) and alleviating cognitive impairment caused by dementia (Mimi) to the use of mobile and accessible MRI imaging (AMRI Remote and On Time). Central in them is also the ability for remote use, for example for paediatric diagnotics (BUBA) and being connected to the healthcare staff and family members through technology (Hopealinja and Enva). All projects are introduced in more detail below.
The studies in Collaborative and Industrial Design (CoID) focus on design's role in society. Students develop skills enabling them to work as design experts and leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators in a range of roles within industry, business, communities, education, and public sector.
