What the Project Is About
uma collective GmbH advises organizations navigating the complex tension fields of the health and social sector. With genuine involvement of those affected, solutions are co-created that truly benefit people and strengthen the entire sector. Change is designed in a participative, creative, and impact-oriented way—because real transformation happens when everyone’s voice is heard and valued.
Main Benefits of the Approach
The project’s core strengths lie in promoting involvement and co-design, optimizing treatment pathways, and supporting innovations from idea to implementation. Here’s what stands out:
- Patient Experience: Putting those receiving care at the center of improvements.
- Integrated Treatment Pathways: Streamlining processes for better outcomes.
- Strengthened Employee Health: Fostering wellbeing among healthcare workers.
- Ideas Accelerator & Coaching: Boosting innovation with hands-on support.
How the Work Gets Done
Spaces are created for genuine co-design—so solutions don’t just come from the outside but grow organically from within the system. This approach leads to sustainable results that aren’t just developed by the people but are actively supported and felt. It’s about building ownership and momentum together.
Highlighting Key Projects
Among the initiatives, the Swiss PPIE Network stands out, offering workshops to develop a Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement network across Switzerland. Another exciting project is Innovation Sociale, an innovation booster focused on co-designing human services. Both projects emphasize collaboration and creativity to push the sector forward.
