Rethinking Health & Wellness Experience Research (2007-2009) RETHINKING HEALTH AT THE INSTITUTE OF DESIGN The Wellness Experience Research Workshop is an ongoing project that is part of ID's Rethinking Health initiative that began with a generous personal gift from Robert Pew, Chairman of the Board, Steelcase Corporation, for the start-up phase 2007-2008. WELLNESS EXPERIENCE RESEARCH This is an ongoing human-centered design research project carried out with corporate, medical laboratory & personal health record technology and community health partners. Altogether, the workshop aims to prototype a user-research methods toolkit and initial model for understanding the effects and potentials of innovations to improve wellness experience and health knowledge for quality of life. Partners include the DOSSIA Consortium, Pitney-Bowes, Oregon Medical Laboratories and the Cbicago Hispanic Health Coalition. During 2008-2009, the Wellness Experience Research workshop has explored people’s attitudes, activities and knowledge regarding their health and wellness within several contexts, including the workplace, home and family, and healthcare interactions. A parallel goal has been to prototype a portable methods toolkit for ongoing inquiry into people’s lived health and wellness experiences.
