“…Co-design was used as the design approach in 9 studies [ 6 , 45 , 48 , 53 , 56 , 58 , 64 , 70 , 72 ]. User-centered design was used in 8 studies [ 49 , 51 , 55 , 60 , 61 , 63 , 68 , 71 ], and participatory design was used in 7 studies [ 14 , 46 , 47 , 50 , 62 , 66 , 67 ].…”

“…None of the studies included the participants as “listeners,” whereas 16 studies featured participants in the role of a “cothinker” [ 43 , 44 , 46 - 49 , 51 , 54 , 55 , 57 , 61 , 62 , 65 , 66 , 69 , 71 ], providing their opinions on ideas or evaluating test sessions of innovations developed by the researchers. In addition, participants served as “advisers” in 11 studies, offering solicited or unsolicited feedback to researchers and designers [ 14 , 52 , 53 , 56 , 59 , 60 , 63 , 64 , 68 , 70 , 73 ]. In 6 studies, participants functioned as equal “partners” with researchers and designers [ 6 , 45 , 50 , 58 , 67 , 72 ].…”

“…In total, 6 studies reported on the added value of tailoring and testing existing designs with service users and people with lived experience [ 51 , 55 , 61 , 64 , 69 , 71 ]. Vieira da Silva and Bueno [ 51 ] adopted a user-centered design approach for the development and testing of the Compass app, which aimed to support people with mental health problems in their daily lives.…”

Background Mental health care faces challenges that not only necessitate innovation but also require the involvement of service users and people with lived experience in developing and evaluating mental health care services. As the development of digital interventions is becoming more prevalent, design approaches are increasingly finding their way into mental health. There is evidence that these approaches can successfully integrate user experience into mental health services. However, there is no clear overview of the studies conducted and the lessons learned concerning the involvement of service users and people with lived experience. Objective In this systematic review, we aimed to provide an overview of the involvement of service users and people with lived experience in mental health care services through design approaches and to synthesize the advantages of design approaches in mental health care. Methods The following 5 databases were searched for relevant abstracts: PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase. In addition, 2 health design journal archives, Design for Health and The Journal of Health Design, were searched. To categorize the results, we collected the reported added value from the included articles and conducted a thematic synthesis in which the themes were developed from the retrieved data. The themes were discussed, revised, and checked until saturation was achieved. Results We included and categorized 33 papers. Most studies involved service users, primarily adults, and used various design approaches. Most of these studies aimed to design or evaluate digital interventions. Service users and people with lived experience were involved in different roles but never as decision makers. Studies that used co-design approaches exhibited the highest levels of involvement. Various added values were reported, including tailoring and testing interventions and digital interventions, improving engagement and collaboration, gathering the needs of stakeholders, and empowering participants as resourceful actors. The challenges reported were maintaining participants’ continued participation throughout the study, managing the iterative nature of design, providing a safe space, balancing insights from design and medical science, and navigating design processes in medical environments. Conclusions This systematic review provides an overview of the studies that used design approaches to involve service users and people with lived experience in mental health care innovation. Design approaches have advantages in mental health care innovation, offering added value and having manageable challenges. Future studies using design approaches in mental health care should involve participants as partners and decision makers and report on collaboration in a systematic and clear manner.

“…This leads to the conclusion that co-design, where potential participants in a VR scenario should be involved from the outset in its design and evaluation, should be employed in the creation of novel scenarios. For example, (García et al, 2021) involved schizophrenia patients in the design and testing of a system for the embodiment of auditory hallucinations in VR. possible that this concept is imposed on participants in experimental studies through the questions that they are required to answer (Slater, 2004).…”

We created a virtual reality version of a 1983 performance by Dire Straits. To understand the responses of participants we carried out two studies which used sentiment analysis of texts written by the participants. Study 1 (n = 25) (Beacco et al., 2021, Disturbance and Plausibility in a Virtual Rock Concert, IEEE Virtual Reality) had the unexpected finding that negative sentiment was caused by the virtual audience, where e.g., some were fearful of being harassed by them. In Study 2 (n = 26) notwithstanding some changes, the audience again led to negative sentiment – e.g., a feeling of being stared at. For Study 2 we compared sentiment with questionnaire scores, finding that the illusion of being at the concert was associated with positive sentiment for males but negative for females. Overall, we found sentiment was dominated by responses to the audience rather than the band. We relate our findings to the concept of Plausibility, the illusion that events and situations in the VR are real. We conclude with the need for co-design of VR scenarios, and the use of sentiment analysis in this process, rather than sole reliance on concepts proposed by researchers which may not reflect the experiences of participants.

We created a virtual reality version of a 1983 performance by Dire Straits, this being a highly complex scenario consisting of both the virtual band performance and the appearance and behaviour of the virtual audience surrounding the participants. Our goal was to understand the responses of participants, and to learn how this type of scenario might be improved for later reconstructions of other concerts. To understand the responses of participants we carried out two studies which used sentiment analysis of texts written by the participants. Study 1 (n = 25) (Beacco et al. in IEEE Virtual Reality: 538–545, 2021) had the unexpected finding that negative sentiment was caused by the virtual audience, where e.g. some participants were fearful of being harassed by audience members. In Study 2 (n = 26) notwithstanding some changes, the audience again led to negative sentiment—e.g. a feeling of being stared at. For Study 2 we compared sentiment with questionnaire scores, finding that the illusion of being at the concert was associated with positive sentiment for males but negative for females. Overall, we found sentiment was dominated by responses to the audience rather than the band. Participants had been placed in an unusual situation, being alone at a concert, surrounded by strangers, who seemed to pose a social threat for some of them. We relate our findings to the concept of Plausibility, the illusion that events and situations in the VR are really happening. The results indicate high Plausibility, since the negative sentiment, for example in response to being started at, only makes sense if the events are experienced as actually happening. We conclude with the need for co-design of VR scenarios, and the use of sentiment analysis in this process, rather than sole reliance on concepts proposed by researchers, typically expressed through questionnaires, which may not reflect the experiences of participants.
