Improving shape, comfort and well-being for women who have had a partial mastectomy or breast tissue removal.

预计每8名女性中就有1名在一生中被诊断患有乳腺癌，但并不是所有这些诊断都会导致完全切除乳房的手术。随着乳腺癌治疗的日益成功，全乳房切除是最后的手段。我们认为，对于乳房部分切除对身份认同和福祉的影响，我们知之甚少。这个项目将适用于接受过部分乳房切除手术的女性。设计思维和以人为本的设计将为讲习班和偏远地区的活动结构提供信息。在一个学习和适应的循环中，与参与者的互动以及由此产生的原型乳房形式或服务，将是迭代的，而不是引导参与者或遵循固定的论点路线。目的是使用共同设计的过程--让最终用户参与产品或服务的设计，并在设计周期的不同阶段向他们反馈--确保声音被听到和反映，用户需求是所创造的产品的核心。

1 in 8 women are expected to receive a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime, but not all these will diagnoses will result in full breast removal surgery. With increasing success in the treatment of breast cancer, full breast removal is a last resort. We feel that little is understood about the impact on identity and well-being that partial breast removal has. This project will work with women who have had partial breast removal. Design-thinking and human-centred design will inform the structure of activities in workshops and remote packs. Rather than leading participants in a direction or following a set line of argument, interactions with participants, and the prototype breast forms or services that are developed from this, will be iterative, in a cycle of learning and adaptation.The intention is to use a process of co-design -- involving the end user in the design of the product or service and returning to them for feedback at various stages in the design cycle -- ensuring that voices are heard and reflected, and user needs are at the heart of the product that is created.
