Participatory design & health information technology

(Studies in health technology and informatics) Summary: Health Information Technology (HIT) continues to increase in importance as a component of healthcare provision, but designing HIT is complex. The creation of cooperative learning processes for future HIT users is not a simple task. The importance of engaging end users such as health professionals, patients and relatives in the design process is widely acknowledged, and Participatory Design (PD) is the primary discipline for directly involving people in the technological design process. Exploring the application of PD in HIT is crucial to all those involved in engaging end users in HIT design and, in collaboration with a wide range of people, a broad repertoire of methods and techniques to apply PD within multiple domains has been established. This book, Participatory Design & Health Information Technology, presents the contributions of researchers from 5 countries, who share their experience and insights into applying PD in the development of HIT. The book begins with a review of PD and HIT research, followed by 10 papers, each of which describes important lessons for HIT designers interested in user participation. The papers are grouped under the themes of participatory processes; participatory reflections; participatory business; and participatory inspirationPreface / Anne Marie Kanstrup, Ann Bygholm, Pernille Bertelsen and Christian Nøhr -- Developments in participatory design of health information technology: a review of PDC publications from 1990-2016 / Anne Marie Kanstrup, Jacob Madsen, Christian Nøhr, Ann Bygholm, Pernille Bertelsen -- Prehopital patient records: facilitating constructive dialogue and co-construction through PD / Preben Holst Mogensen and Susanne Wollsen -- Infrasturing multicultural healthcare information systems / Katrien Dreessen, Liesbeth Huybrechts, Erik Gronvall and Niels Hendriks -- Participatory containing design: "living with" videoconferencing in rehabilitation / Margunn Aanestad, Anne Merete Driveklepp, Hilde Sorli and Morten Hertzum -- Lessons learned from participatory design in dementia care: placing care partners at the centre / Niel Hendriks, Karin Slegers and Andrea Wilkinson -- This is not participatory design: a critical analysis of eight living laboratories / Ann Bygholm and Anne Marie Kanstrup -- From prototype to product: making participatory design of mHealth commercially viable / Tariq O.
