Design Fictions: A Toolkit for Imagining Alternative Digital Health Futures

Dr. Paula Rowland will be piloting a toolkit that we co-developed at the next AMS Leadership Academy on April 22, 2026.

Design Fictions is a story-driven toolkit that uses vignettes and structured prompt cards to help participants collaboratively enter, question, and re-imagine digital health worlds.

Participants engage with fictional worlds to surface the assumptions, values, and relations that shape what is understood as possible, inevitable, or desirable.

You can view the toolkit here or download it for your own use here.
