This paper will profile the Alzheimer 100 project and illustrate design practice utilised in a health context. More specifically the paper will discuss: 

·         Co-design: The approach used by design consultancy thinkpublic to involve a dementia community throughout the project;

·         Key design-led methods used: Including the establishment of a dedicated project website, film-making and a Co-design Day;

·         The project’s results: Including a film, signposting service concept and range of product and service prototypes;

·         The project’s legacy: Spanning multiple levels including a legacy at a policy level; and

·         The project’s key learnings: Which provide important insights into how design can work effectively in a health context. 

Designers and design-led methods can bring innovative solutions to healthcare, but just as importantly, its approach places key healthcare stakeholders at the heart of developing these solutions. Projects such as Alzheimer 100 provide us with practical case studies to deepen our understanding of how designers, design-led methods and approaches can be applied to meet challenges facing healthcare today.
