• Strategic Creativity Series 04 Susana Cámara Leret Designing with young addicts and healthcare professionals in a rehabilitation clinic requires a deep understanding of the everyday situations they face, especially when the anticipated designs aim beyond the mundane at more speculative and uncharted territories. This publication brings together a wide range of perspectives of that journey, with stories about how the design of a set of smells influenced the youths’ treatment and how the design of fictional ‘companion species’ allow people at the clinic to see and discuss their daily environment in new ways.

• What Remains?: A persuasive story telling game. Camaduro, A. & Visch, V.T What Remains? is a prototype that facilitates the intake of Alzheimer patient in care homes. The prototype generates storytelling and is based on co-creation principles involving the patient, the family Download
• Job Stress: From taboo to business Van de Garde, E., Thompson, M., Geurts, L., Ullerup, H. & Perez, M. Workshop for Service Design Network Conference 2011 in San Francisco, October 2011. Download
• New goals for design, new roles for designers? Raijmakers, Thompson, & van de Garde This explorative paper reflects on experiences of design researchers with such work and discusses implications for both design education and creative industries, in particular regarding facilitation and empathy as key skills in the design of innovative services.

• What Remains? Cadamuro, A. What remains? is a design research project that is part of a larger investigation into how game elements can be used as motivational triggers to stimulate Alzheimer patients physically and socially. What remains? uses co-design tools and turns these during the engagement with participants in the project into a service that remains and persists after the designers leave. Download
• User acceptance in a changing context: why some product-service systems do not suffer acceptance. Schotman, H. and Ludden, G.D.S. Various measures are put forward to improve acceptance, but not all measures focus on changing user habits. This paper argues that PSSs can be more powerful in gaining user acceptance when they are designed to address lost habits, owing to unwillingly changed behaviour. Download
• Metaphors as a common language for empathic conversations in collaborative networks Daam, H.L; Gestel, M. van; Raijmakers, Based on extensive experience with collaborative workshops in the Grey But Mobile project, this paper explores how metaphors can play a role to gather empathic knowledge, and suggests a workshop programme to prototype such use of metaphors.

• The in-between: an experimental venture into the position of the designer Camara Leret, S.; Raijmakers, B. Increasing interdisciplinary collaborations between art, design and science, draw  attention to the need of elucidating the position of the designer. Such stance is hereby identified as an in-between position, characterised by its exploratory nature, which contributes to the experimental practice of design as a whole. This interstitial position for design, is furthermore identified as an empowering one, which can open up doors to novel opportunities and outcomes, by enabling designers to engage within the processes that construct meaning.  Download
• Getting a GRIP on work-related stress: designing services with users and other committed stakeholders Garde-Perik,E. vn de; Snelders,D.; Thompson, M. The paper discusses implications for the design of co-created multi-stakeholder PSS, by introducing the Grip Service Model, which allows committed partners to bring in their expertise, and to foresee and exploit their personal/commercial opportunities. The GRIP approach to the design of PSS can be seen as a combination between a classical User Centred Design process, and a collaborative process of New Service Design.  Download
• Design and semantics of form and movement Garde-Perik, E. van de, Trevia, F., Henriksson, A., Geurts L., Ullerup,H. After 1,5 years of research the GRIP project decided to develop the relaxation space, which offers employees an adaptive environment that reacts to their presence by creating a personal environment, varying in size, sounsdscape and animated light. The environment stimulates paced breathing, meditation and helps employees to become more aware and in control of their personal response to stressors and relaxation.  Download
• Design strategies for human relations in services Garde-Perik, E. van de, Trevia, F., Snelders, D. This paper investigates the degree of control that designers might have over human relations in services, and looks into the capacity of design to promote discussion and social support, and its capacity to make objects act as ‘quasi- others’ in social encounters. Three design interventions are presented that have made changes to the material circumstance in which contacts among users and providers take place.  Download
• Getting a GRIP on Work Related Stress: Design & Evaluation of a Nature Inspired Relaxation Space Van de Garde Perik, E, Trevia, F., Henriksson, A., Geurts, L., Ullerup, H. The paper presents the design rationale and subsequent evaluation of the relaxation space 1.0. Experts with backgrounds in design, research and healthcare have evaluated the design of the relaxation space, which resulted in very positive responses regarding the low effort required and the high quality of the relaxation experience provided by the design.

• Demand Responsive Transport as a Social Innovation: The Case of Skewiel Mobiel Schotman, H. and Ludden, G.D.S. This paper discusses how a demand responsive transport system, set-up as a social innovation, improves social connectedness, instead of delivering mobility alone.  Download
• Ambulatory mobility and physical activity monitoring of elderly; a pilot study S.T. Boerema, M.M.R. Vollenbroek-Hutten, H.J. Hermen a method to objectively monitor mobility and physical activity of elderly using ambulatory wireless technology during daily living, and studied the monitored physical activity compared to a sedentary population of healthy office workers Download
• Let's move together! Towards a social, mobile city Geel, L. van, Dols, S., Lu, Y.  This concept aims to make public transportation more accessible for elderly.
