Using Co-Design to Create Meaningful Technology
As the name suggests, co-design stands for collaborative design — a process that tends to be a longer-term and deeper form of collaboration with the people who will use, deliver, or engage with technology than other human-centered or participatory design methods. In our latest Human-Centered Design for Health Seminar Series, Anastasia Kouvaras Ostrowski, Assistant Professor
