The Futures Healthcare Fair: The artifacts of the futures
What signals of change do you see for the future? Are you optimistic, pessimistic, or neither- why?
Join for a creative and hands-on session and become both inventor and merchant of the artefacts of the futures of healthcare. You will become familiar with the Futures Bazaar methodology as a Forecasting and Ideation tool, where everyday items are transformed into futuristic objects that aim to provoke thought, amuse, and inspire.
Just as you might travel to different places to have new experiences and see how others live, creating a Futures Fair is a way to explore each other’s imaginations. This collective effort is the first step to co-create alternative future scenarios. You’ll explore the potential impacts of these futures on healthcare, identifying innovative opportunities and challenges they present.
Come and experience this activity of futures thinking, and explore the futures of healthcare!
Special Requirements:
• Access to ChatGPT from your mobile device or laptop.
• One object you don’t need anymore. It should be something that does not take up much space in your backpack or purse. Be mindful that this object will be hacked or destroyed during the workshop.
