Over the past four years, The NOVELL team has been working to build the NOVELL Redesign method to innovate hospital facility and service redesign. By creating a Living Lab of key stakeholders that includes stroke survivors, designers, policy makers, and researchers, The NOVELL team has developed a new, virtual rehabilitation hospital and service idea for stroke rehabilitation. In Phase 1, key stakeholders defined what is important in rehabilitation environments providing a rigorous framework for subsequent phases of the project. Through a series of iterative design workshops in Phase 2, the NOVELL team used these values to develop design alternatives, modelled in Virtual Reality, and a new vision for service redesign. In Phase 3, representatives from each stakeholder group evaluated these modelled alternatives according to how well they met the predefined values.
