Workshop Design for Health and Wellness

Posted on

Dates:  25th – 29th June, 09:30 – 12:30 & 14:30 – 16:30

Design is no longer the result of a flash of inspiration, exceptions notwithstanding. To respond to the real needs of people, the designer combines intuition and technical skill to empathize with users, navigate ambiguity, and make users’ latent needs tangible. To do that, the designer has to consider aspects such as functionality, aesthetics, human factors, world views, social implications, production, sustainability, and product life cycles.

This workshop provides an opportunity to answer this call. We will focus on Health and Wellness because of its deep connection with both the functional and emotional needs of users, but the tools explored should be generally applicable. Through a study of the human-centered process, we will develop methods to realize a week-long design project framed by user needs and their context. This will include an immersive experience of lectures, hands-on workshops, fieldwork and, potentially, field-trips. Although the class projects will focus on design solutions for Health and Wellness, at the end of the workshop participants should be able to apply user research methods, ideation, rapid prototyping, product design methods, interaction design, and storytelling to solve real world design problems.

José Colucci is the Director of Research & Development of the Design Institute for Health (DIH). Before joining the DIH, José was a Sr. Director and Associated Partner at IDEO, where he worked for 16 years, Vice-President of Research & Development of ITI, developer of high-resolution, pen-based computer interfaces in Canada; and prior to that, he was the General Manager of the Medical Engineering Division at FUNBEC – Brazil’s largest manufacturer of medical electronics for cardiology.

José has a BS in mechanical engineering, an MS in Industrial Design and a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He was a guest lecturer at Harvard, MIT Sloan School of Management, and Olin School of Engineering. Currently he also has a part-time teaching appointment at the University of Texas at Austin.

“Human/Digital” seminar – June 15th

Posted on

Within the framework of the Graduate Program in Business Intelligence & Analytics, DEI and Porto Business School are organizing  a seminar with the title “Human / Digital”, which will take place at Porto Business School, june 15, at 16:30.

 

Nicholas Negroponte once wrote that the man-machine relationship is one of the most fascinating themes in the history of civilization. We live in a dual world, real-virtual, zero-one, human-digital. But this duality is, at the same time, intriguing: are we really gradually leaving the real world and integrating a virtual world? Or, on the contrary, will we be increasingly resilient so that we do not stop having our feet on the ground?

 

For this seminar we invited three experts who will help us reflect on the digital citizen, the digital consumer and the digital manager.

Program

 

4:15 p.| Reception to participants

 

4:30 p.| Welcome

 

4:45 p.| “Consumidor/digital” // Diana Almeida, Data-driven Product Manager at Booking.com and alumna PG Business Intelligence & Analytics

 

5:00 p.| “Citizen/digital” // Pedro Magalhães, Research Fellow at ICS-ULisbon, Scientific Director of the Manuel dos Santos Foundation

 

5:15 p.| “Gestor/digital” // José Gonçalves, President & Country Managing Director at Accenture Portugal

 

5:30 p.| Debate
