Description

Design thinking (DT), a future-oriented problems-based framework, came out of architecture and design schools, and has been adapted to both business and healthcare sectors. DT offers a paradigm shift for disability research. Design thinking concepts, such as empathetic engagement, problem-framing, radical collaboration, and rapid prototyping complement and support the push for person- and family-centered systems change. Lessons from a Bush Foundation grant�s interdisciplinary design-thinking collaboration on sandwich caregiving is shared.
