This project focused on crafting thought provoking scenarios for ‘the future of wellness and prevention’ in healthcare. Scenario building was a tool to build solid futures based on trends collected from multiple sources. We created images to showcase these scenarios and give a sense of what these world would be like.
We selected and analysed trends that we thought were relevant to the future of healthcare. The list was further compressed by selecting the top few emerging trends based on the rating scale.
Some trends were categorised as 'givens'. This implied that they would be constants in the future worlds that we were building, these were trends that would influence the uncertainties and therefore, shape the way they projected themselves.
The 'uncertainities' were trends that would either show up in positive or negative light in the future scenarios. What this means is that the trend will exist in the future scenario but will have either have or not have social acceptance.
We plotted the uncertainties on a 2x2, which was be the platform for the world building process. The two scenarios we further developed are the ones highlighted in the image above.
The scenario definition for a world where genomic editing is widely accepted but people are not willing to share their data.
