Initiate.collaborate: a design for health collaboration toolkit

Abstract The emerging Design for Health (D4H) field has considerable potential to identify and address existing challenges faced by healthcare systems. D4H is a challenging environment for designers (and others who desire to ‘do things differently’) to work in. D4H projects require transdisciplinary approaches, making it more difficult for those who come from different perspectives to work effectively together. This paper reflects on the challenges and opportunities of those working in the field and describes the development of a practical toolkit to support teams embarking on D4H projects.
