Pictures and everything about the course in the following link: https://bit.ly/45qz9CN Overview: Integrating engineering design, the social sciences, and the humanities is not new. In this context, design ceases to be only a craft and assumes a strategic role in promoting change and innovation. This relationship originated with the use of applied ethnographic tools in software development. The use of interaction design (IxD) and user experience (UX) has since transcended the computer to the reinterpretation of social interactions. This course aims to introduce theoretical and applied methodologies of cultural anthropology and concrete design strategies. The tools portrayed will focus on making sense of social phenomena in relation to healthcare. AnthroDesign has the ability to give a more ethical framework for innovations involving legal and ethical considerations firmly based on sociopolitical issues and human rights. In this journey, we will look through the eyes of an anthropologist and take action with the hands of the designer.
