Co-Design & Participatory Design
Co-design and participatory design places an emphasis on the methods of doing research and knowledge generation, and is distinct from participatory design and participatory research. Specifically, by engaging participants early in the design or program planning stages to draft the research or program aims and research objectives. However, co-design ensures equality in the program or research design process, whereas participatory design approaches ensures active involvement of stakeholders in determining research or program outcomes. This is a new methodological approach in participatory medicine.
