Technologie de Production
This design originated from solid research and iterative development.
To find design intervention opportunities, the designer conducted research on elderly immigrants and the supporting system. The research insights indicated that a tool that introduces end of life preparation is in need. With a reliable tool, the elderly can proactively explore the end of life topics. Based on design requirements synthesised from the research stage, the designer conducted ideation and brainstorming sessions. The board game idea stood out. The game content and mechanism were adjusted by testing and iterating and finally developed into a feasible game.
The game kit includes a game board, tips capsule cards and pawns. The game board and cards were created on Adobe Illustrator and SketchBook.
Défi de Conception
As the client requests, the solution should target on current problem, be easy to carry out, and be sustainable for further development. I solve this challenge by providing a structured game. The content of this game is adaptable for new input. The game logic is applicable in other digital games, APP, and VR games. In this way, the design outcome fulfils the client request.
Recherche
To find out design opportunities, I first built an empathy understanding of the elderly through qualitative research. I knew about their motivation and mindset from in-depth interviews. Nextly, I built a holistic understanding of the supporting system through literature research and expert interviews. From the practical experience of social workers and experts, I found out the hindrances and enablers in the current support. The conclusion is: The elderly need a reliable and friendly tool to know about end-of-life preparation.
Inspiration
By giving thoughts to the wishes and boundaries, people can achieve a better-prepared trip towards the final stage of life. In the Netherlands, the healthcare system and social culture enable people to prepare for their end of life. However, the immigrants residing here face challenges because of the disparities in health literacy, values, as well as economic and physical condition. Ageing in a different culture feels like walking in a jungle full of obstacles. The elderly feel helpless and fearful. Therefore, I would like to create a path, help them walk smoother and achieve a better-prepared end.
Durée du Projet
The project started in April 2020 and finished in October 2020, in the Netherlands. This project can be tested out with elderly Chinese immigrants and can be adjusted to fit the immigrants from other cultural backgrounds. This project is a graduation project of the Industrial Design Engineering Faculty at the Delft University of Technology. The project client is Pharos, the Dutch Centre of Expertise on Health Disparities.
Flux Opérationnel
This game is designed for multiple elderly players. The players each use a character to play through the game. Players can experience different conditions and mindsets. By answering questions in the tone of the character and playing funny tasks, players get into the context gradually and build an easy atmosphere. When encounter challenges, the player refers to the tips capsule and learn to react towards real-life challenges. The challenges include: Seek medical treatment, accompany, care options, and the last phase living place. Players unlock information about healthy living, hospice service, and last wishes. Players can also share opinions on topics such as sedation and resuscitation. In this way, players get new insights and think about their own preferences. In the end, the players receive a pleasing blessing. The game wraps up in a positive manner. Through the combination of reliable information and interactive game experience, the elderly gain understanding and confidence towards better-prepared ageing.
