Autonomous Healthcare Vision and Health Mobility

Healthcare on wheels

Imagine instead of you going to the hospital, what if the hospital goes to you? This speculative design concept is a provocation to current models of care delivery, disrupting the future of healthcare through design visioning.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed many long-standing shortfalls in our healthcare systems across the globe. A radically more efficient, accessible and affordable modes of care delivery is imperative to meet the challenges we will face in the future.

This triggered us to speculate the evolution of society based on emerging societal and technological trends and its consequent impact on healthcare through a speculative vision on Autonomous Healthcare. Through five vignettes of new autonomous care delivery, we provoked thought leadership and encouraged adoption of new care delivery models with our industry stakeholders. One resulting example is the pilot of a Health Mobility Service Concept – now on the roads in Nagano, Japan.
We believe that more dynamic and mobile solutions will pave the way forward for the industry to shape a better and more human healthcare landscape for future generations to come.

Project Highlights

What our designers say

As a team, we used our abilities as designers to not only visualize but to speculate and articulate a vision for tomorrow. This vision serves as a conversation piece that can spark discourse on the new possibilities of distributed healthcare. We aim to introduce new thinking beyond just physical and digital products, provoke thought with new models of care, and evolve our mindsets and relationship with healthcare in the future.

Nigel Geh - Product Designer
This futuristic, yet grounded speculation becomes a key part of enabling timely business transformation - especially during situations like the Covid-19 pandemic. We took this vision to key stakeholders such as designers, business leaders and policy makers, to influence the adoption of distributed healthcare and to start piloting theses new care delivery models.

SeYoung Kim - Senior Strategic Designer
Overall, we really enjoyed our process that we call Agile Design Visioning and especially our MVP approach. We aimed to quickly reach a Minimum Viable Provocation, which we believe is particularly relevant in today's world; everything moves fast, and as designers we need to imagine even faster to deliver timely impact.
