  1. Human Centred Collaborative Design: An Institutional Approach Robert Luke George Brown College

  2. Outline • Context: Canadian productivity • College applied research • Innovation Support Services • Project examples • Students

  3. Canada’s Innovation Gap • 13th out of 17 countries (OECD) • “D” for innovation: “it’s been a D for decades” • Conference Board of Canada, How Canada Performs: A Report Card on Canada • Canada's ‘Capacity to innovate’: C- • Global Insight • Canada’s innovation rated Mediocre • Canada's Science, Technology and Innovation Council (STIC) State of the Nation 2008

  4. College Applied Research • Helps boost Canadian productivity • Canada is second in OECD for HERD; 12th in BERD • HERD: Higher Education Expenditures on R&D • BERD: Business Expenditures on R&D • Firms are not making effective use of postsecondary R&D capabilities • “We’ve gone too far in subsidizing R&D, and not far enough in subsidizing diffusion of innovation.” (Sharpe 2009) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DiffusionOfInnovation.png

  5. Innovation Support Services Help industry to • Validate practicality and usability of new technologies/products/processes • Simulate impact of their use • Adapt those technologies for deployment under diverse conditions Testing practicality and market/user/practice adoption and adaptation

  6. Product Commercialization & Market Development Market Entry & Market Volume Technology Development & Demonstration (Pilot to Full Scale) Fundamental Research Applied Research From discovery to design Multidisciplinary Collaborative Problem Solving • The intentional application of applied research and innovation services to industry needs and contexts • Uses college verticals in a horizontal integration strategy • Complementarity across the R&D continuum http://www.sdtc.ca/en/about/innovation_chain.htm

  7. Human Centred Design Participatory design • Grounded in the understanding of real-world practices of users and user communities

  8. Funding • The College and Community Innovation Program, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada • Colleges Ontario Network for Industry Innovation (CONII), Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation • Ontario Centres of Excellence

  9. Examples • Diabetes Portal • Health eHome • Heart Monitoring Vest

  10. Diabetes Portal Industry partner • Health Media Innovation Lab, St. Michael's Hospital GBC Team Members • Jean-Paul Amore, Michael Sanderson, Curtis Jones, Navi Hayer, Carlos Alcoser, Kimberley Perriera, Amy  Wong • School of Design

  11. Diabetes Portal • A web-based portal for patients to access information on the complex issues around diabetes in a variety of approachable electronic formats • Phase 1: develop multimedia content prototypes for persons 55 year of age and older who have been prescribed insulin secretagogues for type 2 diabetes

  12. Diabetes Portal • Michael Evans, Lori MacCullumHealth Media and Innovation Lab, Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, St Michael’s Hospital

  22. Health eHome Industry partners • Origin Retirement Communities; Saint Elizabeth Health Care; The Town of Markham; St. Michael’s Hospital; McMaster University; Adaptive Technology Resource Centre, University of Toronto; Centre for Global eHealth Innovation; CMHC GBC Team Members • Monica Contreras1; Khalid Danok2; Iris Epstein3; Luigi Ferrara4; Julie Gaudet3; Anna Milan1; and Katrina Senyk1 • 1 Institute without Boundaries • 2 School of Computer Technology • 3 Nursing • 4 School of Design

  23. Health eHome • Part of the Inclusive Design Institute • J. Treviranus (PI) University of Toronto • Partners: George Brown College, Ontario College of Art and Design, Sheridan College, Seneca College, Ryerson University, York University

  24. Health eHome • How can living environments promote safety, health, and quality of life for residents?

  25. Health eHome • Component of the Interprofessional Online Research and Technology Assessment Laboratory (IPORTAL) • 25000 sq.ft. Simulated Practice Centre • Centre for Health Sciences, new Waterfront Campus

  26. Health eHome • Integrating multiple health sciences disciplines with design, construction and engineering technology

  27. Heart Monitoring Vest Industry Partners • Ocorant Inc. • Ross and Doell Industrial Design GBC Team Members • Marsha Jorgensen1; Angella Mackey1; Ken Mantle2; Gita McAllister3; and Jenna Patterson1 • 1 Fashion Techniques and Design • 2 Engineering Technology • 3 Nursing

  28. Heart Monitoring Vest Vest Design Challenge • To design a vest that enables its wearer to place six electrodes in the exact same place on their chest each day for up to 30 days, without the help of a nurse.

  29. Heart Monitoring Vest Design hurdles: • How will the patient know where to place the electrodes? How will the vest design account for multiple variations of the electrode placement?

  30. Heart Monitoring Vest Rapid prototyping • In order to solve the design challenges the fashion design students fabricated weekly rapid prototypes out of paper, cotton, Velcro and rough fasteners.

  31. Heart Monitoring Vest • New prototypes were produced weekly, becoming more complex as new solutions were unfolded.

  32. Heart Monitoring Vest

  33. Others • Advanced Patient Education for Cancer Survivorship (APECS) • OCAD (Funded by SSHRC) • Building Recipes and Understanding Nutrition for Cancer-survivorship Health (BRUNCH) • Princess Margaret Hospital • Real-time Locating System for Improved Infection Control • Infonaut, Inc.

  34. Innovation Literacy • Students gain research, problem solving, leadership and entrepreneurship skills, and the ability to recognize innovation in the product development lifecycle • Highly Qualified and Skilled Personnel • flexible innovators in the workforce
