- Cerâmica Bisarro: a tradição da Soenga e a proposta de um produto eco inovadorPublication . Fernandes, Marta; Frade, José Manuel Couceiro Barosa CorreiaCom este artigo pretende-se dar a conhecer a cerâmica tradicional do Norte de Portugal, o barro preto, que é acompanhado pela técnica ancestral de cozedura denominada Soenga que torna este processo muito mais sustentável do que o processo cerâmico que estamos habituados a conhecer. Assim sendo apresenta-se neste artigo a empresa Bisarro, que mantém as técnicas de cozedura ancestrais utilizando-as para modernizar, reinventar e redesenhar peças de cerâmica utilitária aplicando-as ao mercado cerâmico atual, mantendo a consciência e questões sustentáveis muito bem resolvidas. Com a pesquisa obtida propõe-se o desenvolvimento de um projeto integrado nesta empresa e nos seus princípios, de modo a aumentar a sua diversificação de produto reforçando o caráter tecnológico dos seus produtos.
- Co-designing a Care Plan Guide App to Support Early Conversations About End-of-Life Care in DementiaPublication . Neves, S.; Macdonald, A.; McLellan, E.; Poole, M.; Harrison-Dening, K.; Tucker, S.; Bamford, C.; Robinson, L.Talking about death and end-of-life care (EoLC) can be a sensitive topic for people affected by dementia and their families. However, recent research [1] has identified the need for people living with dementia (PLwD) to start planning timely discussions about their future care to help their family and professional carers to confidently make decisions on their behalf when they are no longer able to do so themselves [2]. This paper describes a five-stage iterative co-design approach aimed at understanding the type and nature of these sensitive discussions and developing a resource to support PLwD, their families and carers. The resource took the form of a Care Plan Guide app, as a tool to help initiate early discussions about anticipatory care planning [3] in dementia for PLwD to ensure good personalized care and that important wishes were honoured. The paper highlights the importance of the involvement and active collaboration of families living with the illness. It discusses lessons learned, reflections and recommendations for approaching co-designing healthcare digital resources for sensitive EoLC issues that may have wider applications than for PLwD.
- Co-designing a monitoring system to support patient safety in emergency carePublication . Neves, Sandra; Guarino, Maria PedroGoing to a hospital can be a stressful and anxious experience for many patients, particularly those needing emergency care. These individuals are more likely to wait long hours to be treated, admitted, or discharged. Portuguese emergency departments (EDs) are struggling to treat patients quickly and safely due to the increased number of patients going into Eds (Brazão et al. 2016). This situation highlights concerns about patients’ safety issues and their implications for timely detection of clinical deterioration in patients during their waiting times in EDs. Identifying signs of clinical deterioration at the earliest stages can allow for prompt intervention that can significantly impact on patient outcomes, especially in emergency care settings where patients’ health conditions can deteriorate quickly. However, the available resources are limited, and innovative approaches to support clinical practice are required.
- Cohort Study Good Practices: Design Communication and Capacitation ProcessesPublication . Ferreira, Elga; Penedos-Santiago, Eliana; Netto-Rocha, Constança; Faria-Marques, Daniela; Santos, Estêvão Soares; Dias, Sara SimõesIn the county of Leiria, Portugal, part of the population is known to have morbidity diagnoses (metabolic illnesses and more) and poor health habits on a big enough scale to bring the idea of how low health literacy can affect people’s lives and health services, such as a flood of the emergency systems caused by people attending the emergency room with minor issues. To address it, institutions in Leiria such as the City Hall, ACES Pinhal Litoral (Regional Primary Care Unit Headquarters) and Polytechnic of Leiria decided to conduct a longitudinal and prospective cohort study, where a sample of the population will be followed throughout time to understand if their choices regarding health and sustainable habits are indeed affected by their health literacy levels. This project will contribute to the initial stage of this cohort study, by developing a recognizable brand, whose identity can be maintained throughout all its communication and dissemination media, so that the population can identify, without equivocation, the cohort study to which it refers, and awaken their curiosity to participate. This stage also includes the presentation and dissemination of the cohort study itself to the population under study, followed by a randomized inquiry done by pre-selected interviewers. This project relies on Service Design and Participatory Design methodologies to streamline the development of the study’s elements and to solve common cohort issues, such as: 1) gathering a suitable number of participants that can represent the population; 2) follow-up maintenance of participants; 3) keeping the interviewers and participants engaged with the study, after the first contact. Informal interviews and user group definition will help the comprehension of the study and allow to create personas to characterize the interviewers of the cohort study. These aforementioned methodologies will be supported by the workshop methodology under Participatory Design, acting as a testing ground for the previously developed processes, preparing interviewers to adapt their communication when facing people from different generations, education, and social backgrounds. By carrying out this project simultaneously with the cohort study, it’s possible to evaluate, over time, how the design methodologies can empower and facilitate communication and intervene, changing tactics in case it’s needed. The creation of a replicable experience is proposed allowing the betterment of the overall health of the population. Additionally, assuming the lack of information on how the preparatory phases of cohort studies are designed, it’s also envisaged the creation of guidelines and a good practice manual. It is also of great importance to point out the bridge established between the health and design fields, where design becomes the interface between science and the public.
- Depression to expression: color as visual language to communicate complex emotionsPublication . Puja, Kumar; Lobo, CarlaThis aim of this study is to explore the potency of graphic design as an opportunity to communicate complex emotions and depression using color as a design strategy. The distinctive color identity is formulated by adopting a three-step methodological approach. Firstly, an online survey was conducted focused on understanding individual’s color preferences and color-emotion associations. The survey analysis helped to derive the color identity for six basic emotions. Secondly, mind-mapping of symptoms of each depression type was done to branch out the basic emotions involved and thus, derive its first color-emotion derivative. Next, the value-saturation scale was redefined wherein value represented the intensity of emotion and saturation represented the severity of depression. Lastly, the color symbolism of that particular emotion in Indian culture was cross-referenced and thus, giving the second derivatives. This combination of first and second derivatives give the resultant unique color identities for eleven types of depression solely based on the emotional dimension of color. It was aimed to further explore the innumerable possibilities that can be achieved by experimenting with variation of color attributes. Hence, the research work proposed a methodology, which is in the initial development phase, to define the complex emotional experiences of depression through visual communication.
- Desenho de decalque - translação, interpretação e heurísticaPublication . Santos, João DosDrawing by tracing is composed of the duration of the drawer’s action of tracing on a tracing paper (almost transparent or translucent), positioned over the image (of the object) to be traced. In this text, I attempt to reflect upon the available means for the elaboration of drawing strategies leading to the making of a tracing drawing. These strategies are based on the drawer’s choices, which in turn depend on their abilities as drawer and observer. I propose the tracing drawing as a type of translation and interpretation, which, through heuristics, is revealed as ancillary to other drawings. I also propose the attentional tracing drawing as a contribution to the development of learning drawing strategies,, by contributing to the awareness of the act of drawing by the drawer.
- Design for Sustainability Tools: Categories of classification towards practical usePublication . Vicente, José; Camocho, DavidSince the emergence of early approaches to design for the environment (such as green design or ecodesign), several tools have been developed to support the design process in the integration of environmental, social and, more recently in a comprehensive way, sustainability and circularity criteria. The vast quantity and diversity of tools have required the creation of ways to organize and classify them to facilitate their identification, selection and use by designers, engineers, and other product development professionals, according to the needs of the design practice objectives, and the specificities of the project.This paper aims to analyze the existing knowledge regarding design for sustainability and circularity tools to identify the main categories used to classify these tools. This was done with the aim of synthesizing the most appropriate classification from the point of view of the product designer who will use the tools. To achieve this, the methodology of literature review was employed, which included scientific papers, theses, and reference books in the field.This analysis gathered a wide diversity of classification forms and organized them into 6 overarching categories. It was also possible to verify that certain forms of classification are not particularly relevant for designers when selecting a tool, as they don’t clarify the feasibility of applying the tool. It is possible to conclude that there is still a need for homogenization and consensus in academia regarding the best way to classify these tools so that the classification is scientifically sound and useful for designers.
- Designing for a Multispecies House-hold Development of Pet ́s HabitatsPublication . Venâncio, Clara; Pessanha, LuísThis article makes a brief presentation of the development process of two prototypes that foster the environmental enrichment of two species of companion animals: guinea pigs and cats. The prototypes Domus Petra and Locus Turi were the results of a research project carried out within the scope of a master's thesis in product design. The main goal of the project is to research how product design can promote animal welfare, health and, also, human wellbeing. There were identified cats and guinea pigs’ main characteristics and needs, as well as the problems of the spaces they inhabit when integrated into multispecies households. The animal’s artificial habitats were re-evaluated and redesigned to encourage the practice of normal species behaviours. The focus lays on the relationship dynamics between humans and companion animals: their practices of care; feeding; maintenance of animals and their products; ways of living together; and human-animal-objects interactions. The Domus Petra and Locus Turi prototypes seem to be usable by animals and humans, however, future improvements and developments should be considered. There is a need to explore other approaches to non-anthropocentric design practices, and other paths to include animal perspectives in product development.
- Drawing skills, tracing and attention – towards drawing without handsPublication . Santos, João DosIs there a drawing skill integrating a common ground for the perception of the things in the world? This is one possible question regarding an approach to the function of drawing today. There is no straight answer to this question because there is no univocal definition of drawing. Nonetheless, it is possible to delineate one important skill that is developed through the practice of drawing: attentive look. Attention, as addressed in these lines, is an educated perceptual skill that permeates the ability to see and to draw2. I will argue for the value of traced drawings.I am assuming that the acquired knowledge and understanding of the visual field, integrating different parts in relation to each other and to the mind of the drawer, is this common ground; and that drawing as the mediation of this visual perception is the required skill. I will also suggest that attentive drawing can be measured and made visible using digital technologies, namely EEG interfaces, as an artistic undertaking.
- A eficiência da materialidade - O recurso a ferramentas digitais de simulação e fabricação aditiva na procura de uma maior eficácia dos dispositivosPublication . Gonçalves, Sérgio; Mateus, João Vasco; Hernandis-Ortuño, BernabéA praxis do Design de produtos, condicionada pelas crises sociais e ambientais que o mundo atravessa, deve passar pela procura de uma cada vez maior eficiência dos objetos na sua dimensão ambiental. Embora esta questão esteja a jusante de questões eventualmente mais relevantes na minimização deste problema, e que têm a ver com a legitimação da própria existência dos dispositivos, a otimização do recurso a matérias primas no fabrico de objetos é de fulcral importância. A possibilidade de otimizar os produtos pela redução da incorporação de matéria prima no seu fabrico e adequar o material a uma determinada utilização é central no seu processo de desenvolvimento. Por outro lado, as novas possibilidades trazidas pela fabricação aditiva no sentido de reduzir a quantidade de materiais e processos industriais associados à produção de componentes técnicos complexos permite perspetivar uma melhoria significativa do impacto ambiental tradicionalmente associado à sua obtenção. O presente artigo procura examinar como as tecnologias digitais de análise, otimização e fabricação aditiva poderão constituir uma resposta viável para uma produção mais eficiente do ponto de vista da incorporação de recursos não-renováveis e da minimização do impacto ambiental associado às tecnologias de produção tradicionais.
