It is sponsored by and KT-EQUAL and Devices 4 Dignity (Department of Health) and will be jointly delivered by Lab4Living at Sheffield Hallam University and the Engineering Design Centre at Cambridge University.

After a briefing about different design methods, three teams will be given real life design problems and asked to apply the methods to develop solutions. The teams of (approximately) six people will be composed of healthcare professionals, engineers, designers and end users.

The workshop will run over two days with the aim of prototyping solutions towards the end of the second day and lead onto potential collaborative grant submissions by the team members to develop the solutions further.
