Co-Design Beyond Pandemics
Building capacity and resilience in co-design in health
About the project
This project aims to build capacity and resilience in co-design in health. The project will explore how co-design practices evolved to engage the most impacted communities in health service research, delivery, and improvement during and beyond a pandemic. This will be achieved through a research study and a parallel community of practice.
This project is a collaboration between the Health Design Studio at OCAD University, the Design Health Research Innovation Lab at University of Alberta, Health Design Lab at Emily Carr University, SE Research Center at Saint Elizabeth Health, Lab4Living at Sheffield Hallam University, and CoLab for Community and Behavioral Health Policy at the University of Washington.
01
Process
The project has three main PHASES: 1) planning and making research plans and materials, like engaging with the community, 2) analyzing data and sharing findings with the community to create helpful guidelines, and 3) turning this work into practical resources, such as case studies and training materials. The project uses both realist and design approaches. Realist approaches help us understand what works in different situations, while design approaches help us use that understanding in new ways. Both methods value different perspectives and involve the community, which fits with our project's focus on community involvement and learning together.

Co-Design beyond pandemics cop is a collaborative platform to create a space for design researchers and practitioners from diverse geographies and equity-seeking groups to access resources, share practices and build connections.
This platform aims to foster knowledge/experience exchange, collaboration, learning, capacity building, and resource/knowledge mobilization.
