Authors: Sellen, K., Persaud, N., Werle, S., Al Bess, M., Goso, N., Hetu, R., Soliman, H., Bernado, A.,and Umali, N.
Knowledge framework for Design for Health. This initiative is at the frontier of design research methodology and data analysis building on and expanding current movements in knowledge integration. The framework provides a tool to support the exploration and development of ideas about truth and the key role of design in the synthesis of truth from the evidence base, lived experience, governmental concepts in healthcare, and symbolic truths of health and medicine, based on Foucault’s concept of the truth regime. |
