Design Methods for Wellbeing (TU Delft & Tongji)

Value-driven design for wellbeing identifies and operationalizes core values to guide design decisions. It combines TU Delft's structured value realization methods with Tongji's emotional design techniques to ensure ethically grounded experiences.

To map emotional design aspects, you shape user experience by evaluating visceral, behavioral, and reflective dimensions. This approach ensures emotional resonance is validated with stakeholders through experiential prototyping throughout the design process.

You engage stakeholders in co-creation by running participatory workshops, co-design sessions, and experiential prototyping. This collaborative approach validates value realization and emotional resonance across discovery, ideation, and evaluation phases.

Yes, emotional design works for health-education products by aligning autonomy and care values with cultural resonance. The framework iteratively tests user experiences to balance emotional design with specific cultural contexts.

The best way to start a wellbeing design project is to map stakeholders and articulate core wellbeing values. This initial framing defines the project scope and guides downstream ideation, prototyping, and evaluation activities.
