Health Ecosystem Value Design® 2.0
See, know and act on the wider conditions, forces, inequities and lived experience of a focal health condition, illness or disease
Deploy Umio's breakthrough framework and process for creating impacts in ecosystems of whole lived experience with health, disease and illness
A breakthrough research and design framework centred on health experience ecosystems
Health Ecosystem Value Design® (HEVD) is an advanced, comprehensive framework for understanding and creating positive health and care impacts through an ecosystem- and experience-centred approach.
It supports a shift to a more holistic, integrated and processual model of health, care and wellbeing, and its design and co-creation in experience ecosystems. Here are the key features:
Seven Foundations: Built on seven foundations, each helps to deepen our understanding of the complex forces that form diverse lived experiences of health conditions.
Core Real Lived Experience Model: HEVD's foundation experience model identifies four domains —bodily-motor, perceptual-cognitive, social-cultural, and material (resources and technologies)-spatial (environmental) - that interact to generate and differentiate actual lived experiences with health, disease and illness.
Revealing hidden possibilities for health, care and wellbeing co-creation and impact in any context and place
Systematic Method: The framework contains a 12-step method with supporting templates and guidelines for enterprises and practitioners to learn, design and act with wider impact in focal experience ecosystems of their choice.
Design and Co-creation Spaces: HEVD defines evidenced, action spaces for strategic design, partnering and co-creation. Each contains novel opportunities and directions for transitioning real lived experiences with health/disease from prevention to treatment to recovery.
Overall, HEVD provides a breakthrough philosophy and process for health, care and wellbeing learning, design and creation in experience ecosystems. It drives a more real, dynamic and interconnected approach that can better see and address the origins, differences and recurrence of disease, illness and health conditions at multiple levels - individuals, families, communities, places and populations - in any context.
10-Step Health Ecosystem Value Design® Process
Sometimes you have to look back ... to go forward
Towards a deeper explanation of the production of dis-ease and health inequities
HEVD 2.0 provides deep insights into complex health, disease, illness, environmental and related phenomena. By understanding how and why lived experiences form, differ and persist in a focal context (e.g., diabetes, chronic pain, obesity, heat disease, anxiety, etc.) using an experience ecosystem frame, HEVD 2.0 reveals hitherto hidden patterns and opportunities. This helps enterprises to obtain a powerful new integrated and processual perspective, discover novel possibilities, generate novel ideas, and design novel offerings that power real health impacts and outcomes.
“A much-needed paradigm shift in co-creating transformational change toward an enhanced state of all our wellbeing. Outstanding, remarkable and masterful."
Venkat Ramaswamy, co-creation thought-leader and co-author of The Future of Competition

Umio founder Chris Lawer's book, Interactional Creation of Health: Experience Ecosystem Ontology, Task and Method introduces our comprehensive framework for understanding and improving health through an experience-centred ecosystem approach. Written during lockdown, Chris proposes a shift from traditional health models to a more integrated and whole view, focusing on the dynamic interactions within various domains of lived or real experience.
"Interactional Creation of Health" aims to provide a new paradigm for health systems, encouraging a more dynamic and interconnected approach to health that can better address the complexities of lived experiences. This framework is designed to be applicable across various contexts, from individual health experiences to broader community and population health initiatives.
