Accolades for IDE at Design 2024
Design 2024 conference took place in Dubrovnik, Croatia from 20-23 May. IDE was not only well represented but also well received with a trio of reviewer awards and an “Excellence in Design Science” best paper award for PhD candidate, Julian Houwen’s work on designing remote patient and family centered interventions. The paper explores the dynamic nature of family involvement in remote patient management for cardiovascular disease and its impact on lifestyle behaviour changes. Through an interview study with patients and family members, Julian and his co-authors categorise family involvement. They emphasise the need for personalised and adaptable interventions to cater to the diversity of families and propose a modular approach to remote monitoring design.
This annual conference, organised by the Design Society, brought together researchers and practitioners working on industrial design engineering from a variety of perspectives and disciplines including aesthetics, ergonomics, psychology and sociology. With workshops, paper presentations and a debate on navigating the shift from product to systems, the conference offered IDE researchers the chance to showcase and discuss their latest publications and ideas and contribute to the cutting edge of design research.
