Go See the Doctor: Designing for Healthcare

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

In this presentation User Intelligence illustrates the immense complexity of the health care industry, making it a tough industry to design a successful product or service for. We recognize the shift of the industry, towards a more patient centered approach in the development of new products, processes and services. However, patient centrism seems to be sought after by copying a user centered approach from other industries. User Intelligence argues that this is too much simplified, and will leave out too many stakeholders, which in the end will negatively affect the result of a design project. The health care industry deserves an approach in which the complexity of the industry is respected and incorporated. An example of an approach adapted to the specific needs of the health care industry is illustrated by a project on the emotional well being of prostate cancer patients.
