User-driven Innovation: are users better than designers?

I was reading the Make blog today and got interested by this picture:

It immediately reminded me of the first year’s student this last fall where they had the task of redesing a medical ventilator. I ended up reading the NY Times article and I think it’s quite interesting.

Hi,

The school I’m talking about is UmeÃ¥ Institute of Design (http://www.dh.umu.se). I’ll ask the students who worked on this project to see if they have material to share with you.
