N2 - Wellbeing and health are closely connected as one affects the other (Howell et al,2007; Diener and Chan, 2011). Wellbeing forms a complex notion with both anexternal (e.g. poverty, physical impairment) as well as an internal dimension (e.g.mental issues, happiness). Participatory and co-design approaches present afundamental shift in the traditional designer-user relationship. The co-designapproach enables a wide range of people to make a creative contribution in thesolution but critically also in the formulation of a problem, a task that has beenpredominantly led by designers previously. In this chapter we explore the current use of participatory design and co-design approaches for wellbeing. Following anintroduction to the theory, we provide an overview of the main areas whereparticipatory and co-design approaches are being applied in relation to wellbeing. We also present two case studies where such approaches are employed for enhancing the wellbeing of people living with dementia and Parkinson’s disease. Following this we discuss the challenges and benefits for the use of co-design and participatory methods in wellbeing research projects and provide the reader with several recommendations.
