The DHD LL, with its human-centered design methods, places people's concerns at the forefront, forming the central starting point for exploring questions and approaches related to health, illness, and care. Personally, I am motivated by the unprecedented inclusive and co-creative form of collaboration, which encourages rethinking new as well as existing topics from diverse perspectives. The DHD LL provides me with the space in teaching and research to create a reflective and discursive yet practically relevant bridge between ethical implications, AI-supported processes, subjective personal experiences with health & illness, and system-relevant regional care challenges. My focus is on reflecting on and integrating the various perspectives of disciplines and stakeholders on the topics of health, illness, and care, and in strengthening narrative approaches for research and teaching with the person at the center.
