Too often, promising research results remain unexploited. We use design to make sure your results do have social impact.
Designers at 8D are not only creative makers; they are also skilled in design thinking, generative action research, co-creation and prototyping.
In every role we play, our goal is the same: ‘How can we use this project result to improve lives, now and in the future?’
We collaborate with researchers affiliated with and/or funded by:

What are the possibilities of AI in healthcare? And more importantly, how can we approach this responsibly? The board game AI+ Hospital sparks an in-depth discussion on this topic. Read more about the development process and discover why a ‘traditional’ board or card game is an incredibly effective tool for solidifying and transferring theoretical knowledge.
Supported Communication (SC) is the use of alternative forms of communication for people who do not speak or speak with difficulty. With Stichting Deelkracht, we are investigating how a serious game can support parents and professionals in finding a suitable form of SC, together with the child.
There is a lot of knowledge about SC, but this knowledge does not always reach parents and professionals. Moreover, the communication problems are very diverse. This makes it difficult for parents and professionals to actually start with SC. Read here how we want to change that.
Can mimicking movements in a video game help people train their balance? If so, what requirements should such a product meet? Together with researchers from the University of Twente and RadboudUMC, we are exploring the answer to this question.

At least, that’s what we think. Together with partners, we like to create informative white papers and webinars. These are freely available, without leaving contact details. We do love to hear if our knowledge base has given you new ideas and what information you are still missing as a researcher.
