The Asian Insights & Design Innovation unit conducted a design ethnography study in 2016, with three objectives:
- Uncover insights on how persons with disabilities live, work and interact with society;
- Innovate and reimagine social services;
- Provide fresh ideas and perspectives to better support persons with disabilities and their caregivers.
The Path To… Better Life by Design: Designing for persons with disabilities presents the global trends, insights and design concepts that arose from the study.

The service ecology map lets us investigate relationships that affect all or part of the service and helps people understand the personal relevance of services.
