We propose the fruitfulness of practicing a closer relation informed by interventionist design re- search (appreciating a problem through attempts at solving it) and actor network theory (reality is enacted and constructed through our engagement). Through three concrete design interventions with cardiatric healthcare, we illustrate how diverse agendas of sociological inquiry and practical de- sign considerations are intertwined and come to enact healthcare in specific ways. We suggest this as a strategy of multiple becomings, wherein as- semblages of patients, health professionals, dis- eases, information technology, prototypes, and de- sign researchers together perform shifts between promoting new practical design solutions and rais- ing novel questions on the socio-material com- plexities of healthcare.

The debate on using ethnography in design, models the problem as a matter of mediating between users and designers. This fails to take 'use' serious and renders the problem epistemic i.e. a matter of creating a better understanding or description of the user. Inspired by later developments in Science and Technology Studies I engage an ontological reconceptualization and turn to consider and practice the relation as performative -thus making ethnography, design and users' practices converge. I show this by the case of how the concept of 'medication management' has been performed differently on a combined CSCW and participatory design project in healthcare. It is suggested that through design interventions with working prototypes; prospective analysis and participatory design can be fruitfully assembled in situations of use.
