Description

King and colleagues publish the plan for a project that will co-design a communication aid for aged care. The project will study the co-design as carefully as the product. Communication failures between residents, families, and staff are a complaint. Involving users in the fix is recommended, yet evidence on how taking part creates impact is thin. Their 2026 protocol describes a study inside a cluster randomized trial of an experience based co-design program.

The study will compare what residents, families, care workers, and managers experience during workshops, using surveys, interviews, focus groups, field notes, and observation. Findings will be checked against a model of how co-design should change services. The program's reach and upkeep will be tracked through the RE-AIM framework. A group of care recipients and family shaped the protocol. The aim is an account of which parts of co-design earn their cost.
