The design fiction story was built using a modified foresight methodology. The following steps were completed:
Using the theme “Doctors Unmasked: being human in medicine” as a focal point the Futures Platform™ database was used to identify a list of 14 emerging change and trend phenomena to explore.
A webpage was created to allow Doctors Health of Queensland members to review the phenomena and access a survey to answer two questions relating to each phenomenon.
What is your estimate of the probability that this phenomenon will impact by 2050? (1-Low, 2-Medium, 3-High)
What will be the intensity of impact of this phenomenon on the role of doctors if it arrives? (1-Low, 2-Medium, 3-High)
The results of the survey were used to create a rating of phenomena:
A table showing the survey ranking results for the 14 emerging change and trend phenomena assessed for this insight & foresight project.
4. The numerical ratings were used to create a visualisation of the results:
A bubble chart visualisation showing the relative positions of the emerging change and trend phenomena rated in this insight & foresight project.
5. Using the phenomena focus levels to determine relevance and importance the following design fiction story was created.
