Future Experiences: The Future of Cancer & Collective Intelligence in the Post-Covid World
The Brief: Exploring health and care futures in the post Covid world, this project will investigate what the future of cancer will look like 10 years in the future. With a speculative and analytical approach it will discover future working and living. Working closely with cancer experts across the world, the designers will work in groups of four for the research phase of this project then expand out into individual work to producing a product, service or experience outcome.
Key Research
In preparation for the andthen workshop we were asked to create potential applications for collective intelligence within our care and treatment domain these were as follows:
Collective Intelligence allows lived cancer experiences to connect with current cancer cases through real-time data collecting to enhance patient and staff
knowledge
Collective Intelligence allows cancer workers to improve communication globally and/or locally thus opening up future career collaborations across disciplines
Collective Intelligence can allow the patient to have more control and freedom in their treatment by connecting with various forms of support
