Co-Designing AI Interventions: A Participatory Approach Using System Mapping and Theory of Change Modelling
Year: 2025
Type: book-chapter
Abstract: In a workshop setting, Participatory Systems Mapping and Theory of Change modelling were employed for the purpose of analysing clinical workflows and assessing the integration of an AI-based prediction system. These methods aimed to visualise challenges, systemic dependencies and causal pathways in clinical practice using visual maps, while actively incorporating the insights and expertise of healthcare professionals. The results demonstrate that these methodologies are valuable for the analysis of complex clinical processes and illustrating intervention impacts. While map complexity and limited space posed challenges during face-to-face collaboration, the approach provided actionable perspectives for aligning AI interventions with practical needs in healthcare settings.
