Kyushu University and Cheng Kung University held a joint design workshop.
In this workshop, we looked at social problems caused by the declining birthrate and aging, especially in the quality of life of the elderly (QOL), from the current viewpoint of the IoT (Internet of Things) era, through a design process model called Double Diamond. We challenged the possibility of innovation design through the cooperation of “Self-help / mutual-help / co-help / public assistance.”
