Human-centered design is about understanding human needs and how can respond to these needs. With its systemic humane approach creativity, human-centered play an essential role in dealing with today's care challenges. 'Design' refers both the process of designing outcome that process, which includes physical products, services, procedures, strategies policies. In this article, we address three key characteristics design, focusing on implementation health care: (1) developing people their...

In this article, we focus on the design method of mapping patient journey in order to support inclusion perspective into care service innovations. Increasingly, designers health use approach, however, its is relatively poorly documented. To ground activities method, conducted an in-depth case study integrated with impact improved satisfaction – gastrointestinal diagnose video endoscopy technology. The results revealed four distinct method: (1) Analyse system; (2) Experience yourself, observe...

Patient education is crucial in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Novel technologies such as augmented reality or mixed expand possibilities for providing visual support this process. Mixed creates interactive digital three-dimensional (3D) projections overlaying virtual objects on real-world environment. While only overlays objects, not just but anchors to real world. However, research technology patient domain scarce.The aim study was understand how patients perceive...

ABSTRACT Introduction In haemophilia, ever more effective treatment options leading to minimal bleeding make information provision about the disease and its symptoms when alert team increasingly important. However, little is known how current perceived what needs are. Aim Gain in‐depth insights into experiences regarding of caregivers young children with perspectives their healthcare providers (HCPs). Methods A qualitative study was conducted including 15 semi‐structured interviews seven...

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early diagnosis is pivotal importance for patients with cardiac arrhythmias ischemia to minimize consequences like strokes myocardial infarctions. The chance capturing signals or substantially high when a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) can be recorded at moment patient experiences symptoms. However, until now, available diagnostic systems (Holter monitors other wearable ECG sensors) have...

The world is ageing rapidly. Between 2000 and 2050, the number of people aged ≥65 will double as a proportion global population, from 7% to 16%, respectively. By for first time in human history, there be more older than children (aged 0–14 years) population. More distinctive tremendous increase oldest old ≥85. This challenges society adapt, order maximise health functional capacity well their social participation security. Ageing multidimensional process change physical, mental domain,...

Immersive Virtual Reality (VR) laparoscopy simulation is emerging to enhance the attractiveness and realism of surgical procedural training. This study analyses usability presence a Operating Room (VOR) setup via user evaluation sets out key elements for an immersive environment during laparoscopic training.In VOR setup, VR headset displayed 360-degree computer-generated (OR) around simulator procedures. Thirty-seven surgeons trainees performed complete cholecystectomy task in VOR....

Current ergonomic solutions in the operating room focus on patients and surgeons. The work environment of scrub nurse has not been studied before. In this article is described potential problems are addressed. Practical short‐term provided our design vision for future rooms presented. Neck back result from attempts to create an unobstructed view field reaching instruments instrument tables. Height‐adjustable foot stools, better monitor placement ergonomically designed tables will help...

Laparoscopic procedures are mostly performed in operating rooms which have been designed for conventional surgery. The ergonomic layout of these is not suited endoscopic This study reports on the current state ergonomics Dutch laparoscopic Number trolleys, presence ceiling-mounted booms, and number, positioning size monitors were recorded. floor surface lowest highest positions tables documented. Positioning surgical team during surgery assessed. Twenty-nine hospitals participated this...

Background Care personalization is key to the well-being of people with dementia according person-centered care. With development internet things, a large quantity personal data can be collected securely and reliably, which has potential facilitate care for dementia. Yet, there are limited assistive technologies developed this purpose, user acceptance low in nursing homes. Therefore, through data-enabled design approach, digital platform was helping team home personalize care, specifically...

Personalisation is a crucial element in providing person-centred care for people with dementia. This paper presents the development and evaluation of design toolkit to facilitate work designers healthcare professionals personalising dementia care. toolkit, named “Know-me”, was grounded findings Ergonomics Aging, Co-design, Data-enabled Design, derived from literature review field during four-year doctorate project. “Know-me” designed be easily accessible, flexible, engaging, concrete...

For most patients with an incomplete spinal cord injury, gait rehabilitation plays a key role in functional recovery. Gait is usually assessed by physiotherapists and physicians through observational analysis or specialized personnel laboratory analysis. However, prone to misjudgment, complex time-consuming. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) could be interesting alternative bring objective closer the actual healthcare providers. This article focuses on identifying requirements of IMU-based...

Researchers have been exploring how to manage Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) in a personalised way, meanwhile, assistive technologies developed collect variety personal data. This urges more research investigating the combination of: data collected by care team, which are mainly qualitative; technologies, majority quantitative. Previous studies, however, yet explore if quantitative qualitative could facilitate team better understand each resident with dementia...

The cost of laparoscopic simulators restricts the wide use simulation for training basic psychomotor skills. This paper describes scientifically-based development an inexpensive and portable Ergonomic Laparoscopic Skills (Ergo-Lap) simulator with multiple tasks.The design this Ergo-Lap related task panel was based on scientific research regarding representative skills ergonomic guidelines surgery. A user-centred approach followed. Fifty-three surgical participants variable experience (14...

This paper describes a blockchain-enabled system aimed to facilitate urban walking as lifestyle choice. work-in-progress is based on an provisional classification of blockchain's social affordances into four core features. These features are used design materials enable 'walking contracts' between humans and non-humans triggers for walking.
