“…Several reviews and overviews have already been done on the topics of Open Design (Bakırlıoğlu & Kohtala, 2019;Boisseau et al, 2018;Menichinelli, 2016) and of design, making, open approaches and the Maker movement for healthcare (Campos & Cipolla, 2021;Corsini et al, 2020;Maffei et al, 2018). We thus narrowed down the field and focused on the specific topic of design for DIY healthcare devices, focusing on Jose Gomez-Marquez's research at Little Devices Lab and practice at MakerHealth (Dellal et al, 2018;Gomez-Marquez & Hamad-Schifferli, 2019, 2021Gomez-Marquez & Spinrad, 2012;Phillips et al, 2018).…”

“…These phenomena have had an impact on design in other sectors too, such as biology with the DIYBio/Biohacking movement (Delfanti, 2013;Keulartz & van den Belt, 2016;Landrain et al, 2013;Wohlsen, 2011), a further expansion and development of the Maker movement in biology (Tocchetti, 2012), or healthcare -that is patients facing technologies. These can range from patient-centered innovation to makers designing healthcare devices (Gomez-Marquez & Spinrad, 2012) to more recent fabrication of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during the first months of the Covid-19 pandemic emergency (Campos & Cipolla, 2021;Corsini et al, 2020;Maffei et al, 2018). DIY and making in healthcare did not evolve from the Maker or DIYBio/Biohacking movements, but in parallel to them, in certain cases preceding them (Gomez-Marquez & Young, 2016;Mahler, 2017).…”

Digital technologies and open source have had a direct impact on design tools and culture but also, indirectly, on several sectors where they are applied. Examples are biology with the DIYBio/Biohacking movement, a further extension and development of the Maker movement, or healthcare, from patient-centered innovation to makers designing healthcare devices. What are the main elements emerging from the intersection of design, open source, DIY, healthcare and biology? This article explores this research question with an interview with the researcher and practitioner Jose Gomez-Marquez, the Little Devices Lab co-director at MIT and co-founder of MakerHealth. The semi-structured interview was then analysed, resulting in a short non-alphabetically ordered dictionary of the main elements of DIY design in healthcare devices: 1) Open Science & Open Design; 2) Documentation; 3) Protocols; 4) Lead Users; 5) DIY & Current Systems; 6) Knowledge Transfer.

“…Overall, the maker COVID-19 response initiatives strongly relied on the sharing of open designs and a self-organized production and dispatchment of the DIY equipment, via online and social media (Corsini et al, 2020;Zastrow, 2020). When a certain material was not locally available alternatives were explored, either by modifying the design, adapting material that was already available or hacking different parts of the product design (Fabfoundation, 2020).…”

“…The volunteer-driven, self-organized activities of the maker community have significantly contributed to the response phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and also drew attention to the latent innovation potential of the general public (Corsini et al, 2020). Since the rapid emerging of local makerspaces, hackerspaces, fablabs and the calling out of a global maker movement (Dougherty, 2012) experts have assigned this new culture of local manufacturing certain social transformation power (Diez, 2012;Smith, 2017;Millard et al, 2018;Bosse et al, 2019;Unterfrauner et al, 2020).…”

“…COVID-19 has had an enduring impact on the mindfulness of spending habits, particularly as they pertain to sustainability, increased demand via digital access, a reorientation of brand loyalty, prioritization of companies who support the caring economy, and a 'homebody' economy with increased purchases of goods used within the household (Arora et al 2020). Although the impact of COVID-19 on small businesses has been immensely damaging (Bartik et al 2020), there is some evidence that smallerscale, peer-to-peer consumption has increased ) and that 'Makers' have stepped up to support community needs Ravi et al 2021;Corsini et al 2020).…”

Ecological Limits of Development

Embracing the reality of biophysical limits to growth, this volume uses the technical tools from ecological economics to recast the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as Ecological Livelihood Goals -policy agendas and trajectories that seek to reconcile the social and spatial mobility and liberty of individuals, with both material security and ecological integrity.Since the 1970s, mainstream approaches to sustainable development have sought to reconcile ecological constraints with modernization through much vaunted and seldom demonstrated strategies of 'decoupling' and 'dematerialization'. In this context, the UN SDGs have become the orchestrating drivers of sustainability governance. However, biophysical limits are not so easily sidestepped. Building on an ecological-economic critique of mainstream economics and a historical-sociological understanding of state formation, this book explores the implications of ecological limits for modern progressive politics. Each chapter outlines leverage points for municipal engagement in local and regional contexts. Systems theory and community development perspectives are used to explore under-appreciated avenues for the kind of social and cultural change that would be necessary for any accommodation between modernity and ecological limits. Drawing on ideas from H.T. Odum, Herman Daly, Zigmunt Bauman, and many others, this book provides guiding research for a convergence between North and South that is bottom-up, household-centred, and predicated on a re-emerging domain of Livelihood. In each chapter, the authors provide recommendations for reconfiguring the UN's SDGs as Ecological Livelihood Goals -a framework for sustainable development in an era of limits. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of ecological economics, socio-ecological systems, political economy, international and community development, global governance, and sustainable development.
