Session Abstract

Disruptive technologies like AI, additive manufacturing, and augmented reality are transforming healthcare, bringing both opportunities and challenges. Their integration into health systems introduces potential for systemic bias and exclusion, making it crucial for health designers to understand these technologies from a systemic perspective. This workshop invites health design researchers and practitioners to delve into the implications of these digital advancements.

We'll start by introducing our strategic approach to health systems design, followed by a presentation on novel digital technologies and their potential impact on healthcare. Participants will be divided into groups to explore and present future health system scenarios influenced by these technologies. This exercise aims to identify and analyze potential benefits and risks, leading to a discussion on actionable design insights that can mitigate negative consequences while maximizing positive outcomes.

The workshop concludes with a collective discussion, comparing insights across groups to synthesize a comprehensive understanding of how digital technologies can be harnessed in healthcare. Expected outcomes include a compilation of future scenarios and design implications, laying the groundwork for a future publication. This collaborative exploration aims to equip participants with a deeper understanding of digital technologies' role in shaping future health systems, promoting an inclusive, equitable approach to health innovation.
