Innovation opportunities in the Polyclinic of Palermo Policlinico Giaccone Share Understanding the user experience in the hospital to bring incremental innovations to its clinic services 3 things to know Flexibility and adaptation An iterative approach throughout the project allowed us to adapt the analysis on the hospital context, its rules, and emerging unexpected opportunities. Observe, understand, create bridges Understanding behaviors and expectations of users, doctors and professionals was essential to respect the equilibrium between different perspectives in the hospital context. Deliver innovation pills Experientia proposed small solutions that could have a great impact on users (patients and HCPs) and that could be more easily integrated into the complex system of a University Hospital. Gallery In depth Service mix: Prototyping Participatory design Service design Behavioral modeling Ethnography Challenge We carried out a user centered design project within the University Hospital Polyclinic Paolo Giaccone of Palermo with the aim of generating innovative ideas to be deployed in its clinics in the area of cardiology, oncology, opthalmology and haematology. Following a participatory process, we involved the clinics’ medical staff in research and generative activities, detected two concepts and prototyped one of them. Research We conducted contextual interviews and shadowing for one week in 5 clinics in the Polyclinic, with physicians and nurses, their heads, and other primary actors in the clinic under study (e.g. postgraduate doctors, psychologists and administrative staff). This research allowed us to understand the functioning of the complex hospital system in the specific context of outpatient visits, aiming to propose solutions benefitting both HCPs and patients. Design Based on the workshop results, two design concepts were presented, one focused on effective communication between health professionals and the other on the welcoming and orientation of the patient. Considering the boundaries of the project, we decided to further develop the first concept, to illustrate it with a use scenario, and to integrate with a high level prototype aimed at showing functionalities of the main hospital software that could be implemented in order to facilitate interdepartmental communication. Impact The solution aims at facilitating collaboration – both between healthcare professionals within the same ward, and with other hospital facilities – through the optimization and integration of the functions of the Hospital Intranet and the creation of opportunities for meetings between healthcare professionals.

Low2No: shaping the future of sustainable living Sitra, the Finnish Innovation Fund Share In the former container port area of Helsinki, a building block named Airut (“messenger” or “herald” in Finnish) has risen to showcase innovative solutions for green developments worldwide. In collaboration with the engineering firm Arup, the architect studio Sauerbruch Hutton and Galley Eco Capital, Experientia has been a key contributor of this mixed-use development block, which houses around 500 residents, together with small-carbon-footprint services. 3 things to know Creating value through service design We designed energy demand management solutions and services and coordinated “mixed use” service offerings. The core of the service was enabling participatory solutions, such as games, competitions, workshops and websites for all its users. Behavioral change We analyzed drivers of behavioral change like environmental & life constraints, motivation and belief, social pressure and constraints, cultural framework, architectural and interface affordances, and designed fifty initial ideas for tools and services to facilitate behavioral change in Jätkäsaari Award winning Airut and Low2No have already won two awards – the 2011 Italian national prize for innovation in services and an acknowledgement prize in the 2011 Holcim awards for sustainable construction. Gallery In depth Service mix: Prototyping Information architecture Participatory design Service design Ethnography Useful links: Italian National Prize for Innovation in Services Blog post 2011 Holcim awards for sustainable construction Blog post Context The climate crisis requires new ways of designing and living our built environment, particularly in colder countries like Finland. Sitra, the Finnish innovation agency, launched an international competition for a low carbon housing and commercial building complex in Jätkäsaari, a reclaimed goods harbour to the west of central Helsinki, that aims to facilitate behavioural change towards more sustainable lifestyles. Challenge The competition was won in September 2009 by an international team led by global design, engineering and planning firm, Arup, providing engineering and sustainability services. The team also included Berlin-based Sauerbruch Hutton as lead architects and consumer behavior-change strategists Experientia. The building complex covers 22,000 square metres and provides new residences, office and retail space. Emissions are reduced through building design and performance, mobility systems and food production Research As the experience design partner, Experientia’s role has been to nudge the behavior of the people that visit, live and work at Airut, in a lasting sustainable direction. This nudge is being achieved through actively involving potential future residents and entrepreneurs in the development of their future environments, through the design of impactful, sophisticated and sustainable service offerings, and through the creation of behavioral change programmes. Design These interventions help to reduce energy demand and carbon emissions by enabling residents and workers to make better choices about their consumption while enjoying a very high quality of life. They are, in other words, “soft infrastructure” offerings that will complement the block’s “hard infrastructure” for energy and carbon management, including geothermal preheating and cooling, building integrated photovoltaics and a carbon neutral bio-heat product provided by the district heating network. Our specific deliverables have included a behavioral change framework, an award-winning service platform design, and a smart meter user interface design. Experientia has also worked on the planning and design of services, to create, within the Low2No project, a “Food Hub” (offering services related to the purchase, consumption and sharing of regional, organic food, an ethical and sustainable alternative to the products commonly offered in the Finnish market); an “Eco-laundry” (using highly efficient practices and detergents with a low environmental impact); and a communal, wood-fuelled sauna (an eco-friendly response to the presence of a private electric sauna in most Finnish homes). Impact Construction has been completed and the block is now occupied. From now, the sustainable ideals that govern its day-to-day life act as a model and example for the rest of Helsinki, Finland and the world. It has already won two awards – the 2011 Italian national prize for innovation in services (awarded to Experientia), and an acknowledgement prize in the prestigious 2011 Holcim awards for sustainable construction (awarded to the full design team). italian National Prize for Innovation in Services Blog post 2011 holcim awards for sustainable construction Blog post Related projects All Services Behavioral design Research and assessment Strategy Cities & InfrastructureSocial innovation ToNite: social innovation and urban regeneration in Turin, Italy Social innovation Turin Public Libraries, redesigning the cultural experience Social innovation COE, Strengthening access to justice through non-judicial redress mechanisms Go back to our portfolio
CityOpt: Engaging citizens to facilitate energy demand responses
![](https://www.experientia.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cityopt_big-1024x528.jpg)
CityOpt: Engaging citizens to facilitate energy demand responses European Commission FP7 Share CityOpt, a research project funded under the FP7 European Commission framework, is getting citizens involved in testing new tools to reduce energy consumption during peak loads, with the goal that this pilot program will set a new trend in protecting locations with fragile electricity supplies. 3 things to know Encouraging behavioral change The CityOpt app helps people reduce domestic energy consumption during energy peak loads and nudges them towards more eco-friendly behaviors. Incentivizing energy reduction Their savings were rewarded with points, which participants could “donate” to a local community project of their choice, helping to maintain people’s engagement with the app. Real time monitoring An office block in Vienna, Austria, uses the CITYOPT app to identify the best scenario to integrate energy supply sources with fluctuating temperatures into an efficient micro-energy network.. Gallery In depth Service mix: Policy development Envisioning Business strategy design Prototyping Information architecture Participatory design Service design User experience testing Context One of France’s most fragile regions, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, is perhaps best known for its vineyards, lavender groves and sparkling coastal cities like Nice. It is however also one of France’s most fragile regions for electricity supply. Particularly in winter, when electrical heating sees electricity use rise, the locals experience frequent blackouts, as the local energy provider, EDF, tries to manage the supply. This is why Nice Côte d’Azur has been selected as a pilot city for the CITYOPT project, an initiative that aims to create new methods and tools to deal with energy consumption, and to involve local citizens in designing and testing them. CITYOPT is a pilot programme funded by the European Commission that explores and tests new tools for reducing energy consumption during peak loads. Research Experientia has led the user research activities for the pilot program. User experience methodologies have engaged local citizens from the area in interviews, workshops and design activities. These have defined what people really need to help them control their energy use, and to create a mobile app that the pilot participants will be able to use to do just that. The entire project has applied a user experience (UX) methodology, to make sure that the tools and methods that the project proposes for energy management resonate with the people who will have to use them. It’s not just Nice Côte d’Azur: other pilots are planned for Helsinki, Finland and Vienna, Austria, where similar UX methods are also being applied. Right now, the Nice pilot looks at the residential level, and explores how people’s everyday behaviors can be nudged to better support the energy use of the entire region. Model Changing individual behaviors to help the entire region The Nice Côte d’Azur local population plays a crucial role in reducing domestic electricity consumption during peak loads. To help people change the way they consume electricity, the pilot provides selected locals with the CITYOPT mobile app (aka the CITYOPT Operational tool). The app informs people about upcoming network peak loads, and then uses playful persuasion to get them to commit to lowering their energy consumption at a specific time. How the app was created – a participatory process The Experientia design team also focused on the visual design of the mobile application. In workshops for design idea creation, designers and local stakeholders came together to brainstorm innovative ideas that could potentially be included in the app. A second participatory workshop, again involving local stakeholders, compared these ideas to the expectations and needs of local people, which had been uncovered in the original interviews and workshops with people from the region. The feasibility of the different ideas was discussed, and the final features for the CITYOPT app were selected. Designing, sketching and coding is a long road from ideas to app. First Experientia’s design team, with the support of the local project partners, worked on three wireframes of the app, which defined the information architecture and interaction model for how the app would work. Later on, colors and styles were added, taking it from outline to a fully-fledged design. Experientia then developed the front-end, web-based code, while the consortium partners – CSTB and EDF – implemented the back-end, repositories, hardware interfaces and statistical algorithms. Nice Côte d’Azur Métropole was responsible for localizing the application in French and recruiting local dwellers to participate in the pilot test. Impact The project was piloted with 200 households in Nice using the CITYOPT app during the first wave of testing. During the demonstration test, leader Experientia explored how people use the app, whether they take part in the demand-response scenarios, and what conditions and driving factors are most likely to convince people to participate. The test research was supported by quantitative and qualitative activities like online surveys, contextual interviews and contextual observations. The actual consumption data was also measured through pre-installed smart-meters, and used to evaluate the effectiveness of the CITYOPT system. The CITYOPT project has provided us with real data on effective ways to convince people to reduce their energy use at a level that can help improve the consumption of an entire region. It’s now a matter of scaling up the project to the entire region, and beyond, and providing a body of information that can be used by any region looking for effective ways to reduce energy use. Meanwhile, the other CITYOPT pilot programmes will demonstrate that Nice is not a solitary example, and that user experience methodology can offer real impact on people’s behaviors, and on behavioral change for more sustainable lifestyles.

Mapping the SPID registration journey, to improve the citizen experience Department for digital transformation, Presidency of the Council of Ministers Share Driven by the necessity to improve and expand the national system of digital Identity called SPID, the Department for digital transformation, Presidency of the Council of Ministers selected Experientia to conduct a heuristic evaluation to assess the various end-to-end digital registration flows and qualitative research with Italian customers who had registered in the previous 6 months. The objective was to understand the critical needs and pain points in the overall service experience in order to provide UX guidelines and an updated strategic roadmap for improving current processes. 3 things to know A single “key” to access the public administration The government ambition was to provide citizens with a single access method to all the services offered by a multitude of organisations in the public administration. SPID applications grew more than twofold during the first COVID-19 lockdown. A multitude of registration options Our heuristic evaluation assessed 3 different registration processes for the 9 official SPID providers on both desktop and mobile. Some providers offered up to 6 different sign-up flows. People just wanted to avoid queueing The COVID-19 pandemics and the social distancing rules encouraged SPID citizens to sign-up using remote options even for ID validation. One of the strongest motivation to avoid analog ID validation was to avoid queuing in public offices.

This calls for a radical change in perspective on how care can be better delivered to the elderly. Challenge To prepare and plan for that change, The DesignSingapore Council’s Asian Insights and Design Innovation (AIDI) programme embarked on a Rethinking Health and Wellness for the Elderly project to look into developing design solutions that better meet the needs of the elderly in Singapore, and asked Experientia to carry out an extensive research and analysis project , including a workshop with participating public agencies and services from the Singapore healthcare system. Research The project started with an understanding of global trends in elderly healthcare services. This was then followed by a design ethnography study through interviews and shadowing – to gather deep qualitative insights into the habits and behaviours of the elderly and to identify trends, behaviors and gaps in the interaction between elderly people and the healthcare system. From the observations, we learned about how the elderly think, act and feel towards managing their health at home and their needs and wants. Experientia developed 8 personas to begin the process of designing for behavioural change and explore solutions like ageing-in-place, peer-to-peer support and community platforms to solve some of the elderly healthcare issues. Participatory workshops allowed stakeholders from the public to be part of this process generating 12 main user-centred design concepts. In two multi-day innovation workshops with healthcare and public service stakeholders, representatives from the healthcare industry and public sector joined Experientia and DesignSingapore Council in Singapore. Here we introduced the challenges the participants face on a daily basis, showing video clips from the research to reveal the human faces behind the research. The stakeholders developed service concepts that would suit the unique characteristics of Singapore. Design Experientia team designed an interactive map of findings, a rich database resource that invites stakeholders to explore and be inspired to innovate and design relevant solutions for the ageing population. The concepts were useful to guide Singaporean healthcare agencies to create strategies, policies and services. The results of the project were compiled in a handy publication for further use in Singapore and freely available for anyone. As part of the project, Experientia also worked with Singaporean agencies and ministries to devise community-focused concepts for elderly residents in the Kampung Admiralty residential block.

Turin Public Libraries, redesigning the cultural experience CSI Piemonte Share CSI Piemonte partnered with Experientia to redesign the new digital experience for Turin public libraries: an ecosystem of more that 15 local libraries spread across the Turin area. Weekly design thinking workshops and co-creation activities with the local libraries team allowed us to gather all the different perspectives of a complex reality diversified among the territory. 3 things to know One website, more that 15 local libraries The website of the Turin public libraries (“Biblioteche Civiche Torino”) gathers all the information connected to more that 15 local libraries spread across the territory. Every library has its own audience, events, reading proposals, services and articles. Library directors highlighted the importance of each library: every user sticks to his neighborhood library rather than being a frequent visitor to all libraries. For this reason, creating sub-homepages for each library was important to support users in their usual behavior using the service. Design thinking workshops Design thinking methodology was applied in order to achieve a final website that was cohesive and could meet all the different needs among the complex and diversified contexts of the territory. Weekly meetings with the librarys’ selected tea allowed a step by step approach and the possibility to validate each part of the website with the stakeholder in charge of that service: events, programs and projects, children section, historical and local collections. A piece of an ecosystem The website is a part of a complex ecosystem composed of a catalog online and a digital lending platform. The two services (catalog and digital lending) are not located within the Turin public library website but instead in different domains. These three platforms have to recall each other’s contents and give the perception of a solid ecosystem. Information architecture methodology and content organization were necessary in order not to lose any pieces during product integrations. Gallery In depth Service mix: Prototyping Information architecture Participatory design Useful links: Biblioteche civiche torinesi External link Context The Turin Public library website had to be updated in terms of information architecture and prioritization of informations, as well as visual presence and new look and feel. The portal is the final stage of the “Rethinking Turin Civic Libraries” project, launched in 2019 on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Central Civic Library and supported by Intesa Sanpaolo. Research An extensive desk research allowed the team to spot best practices and common design patterns used by the most important library websites. A detailed content audit was necessary to be sure that each information of the “old” website would have been revised during the redesign. Weekly meetings with stakeholders and two specific workshops (directors of local libraries and kids&teens audience) were the key stages to came out with important insights that led the design choices. Design The redesign of the website was supported by information architecture and wireframes activities. The responsive website is designed with a mobile first approach and uses common design patterns, usability rules and accessibility. See here for the final outcome of the project.
