Abstract

Participatory Design (PD) approaches aim to engage various stakeholders to democratise the design process and influence the development of technologies. However, the use of PD approaches is challenging in low-resource settings. This paper presents the lessons learned from conducting future workshops with caregivers and healthcare workers as part of a project aiming to co-design health interventions to promote healthy nutrition in low-resource settings in Peru. Reflecting on these workshops, we present a number of barriers and facilitators highlighting the physical, social and temporal factors that affect participation in low-resource settings. Tailoring and adapting design methods do help reducing the level of complexity and fostering engagement and participation in PD activities in low-resource settings.
