Background
The 4D PICTURE project aims to help cancer patients, their families, and healthcare providers better understand their options. It supports their treatment and care choices, at each stage of the disease.

About 4D PICTURE

The key aim of the project is to is to improve the cancer patient journey and ensure personal preferences are respected. In Denmark the focus lies on redesigning care for breast and prostate cancer patients with incurable cancer.

The 4D PICTURE project aims to help cancer patients, their families, and healthcare providers better understand their options. It supports their treatment and care choices, at each stage of disease, by drawing on large amounts of evidence from different types of European data. Kolding School of Design together with Vejle hospital is working on redesigning the way supportive care offers, like rehabilitation, psychological help or sexological for example, are offered to patients and relatives.

The project integrates health care research, data science, epidemiology, biostatistics, innovation and design research, health economics, implementation science, social sciences and humanities.

We follow an iterative process using design thinking, service design techniques and design research, further developing the Metro Mapping methodology for use in breast and prostate cancer and melanoma, in heterogeneous healthcare systems.

Following Kolding School of Design's tradition, we also make use of generative and co-creative methodologies and techniques.
