︎ Diet/MoveByDesign- Making The Healthy Choice, For Everyone
What gets in the way of making a healthier decision?

The
Point of Decision Design (PODD) enables designers and creative thinkers to identify key elements that ultimately
leads someone to make a final choice. With HealthByDesign, the decision-making process can influence a healthier
outcome, which affects future considerations for greater
lifestyle impact.
Students were given exercises and instruction on how to practice altering the point of decision using personas. Personas resemble real-world interviews and scenarios to aid design strategies in response to different problems.
In addition to developing creative strategies to affect a decision, design intent were linked to research that enhance desired health outcomes. The proposals were evaluated and analyzed along the design continuum, which is a spectrum of scale: information, product, interior, architecture, urban realm, policy. Each proposal showcase a summary of research, images, and descriptions along the design continuum.
