Digitalization is transforming the healthcare system, bringing forth both new challenges and opportunities. This is where the Digital Health Design Living Lab (DHD Living Lab) comes into play, driving innovative projects at the intersection of digitalization, health, ethics, and design. Experts from three Zurich universities (ZHdK, UZH, ZHAW), representatives from the healthcare system, patient organizations, and the public collaborate together.

The primary goal of the DHD Living Lab is to develop more appealing, efficient and effective technologies and solutions for the healthcare sector. The design discipline plays a crucial role in this endeavor, providing fresh perspectives and novel approaches to the interdisciplinary, user-centered, and holistic design of tailored, digital applications aimed at maintaining, promoting, and restoring physical, cognitive, and mental health.

During the DHD Living Lab workshop, interactive prototypes and approaches from ongoing research and development projects can be tested and explored (e.g., digital movement games, decision-making aids, or hybrid design research methods in the health tech field). Together, future scenarios will be discussed and explored.
