Short Description:

This research focuses on evaluating a to-be-developed product on behalf of Diaderma B.V. and is called "early diagnostics of skin wound". Diaderma B.V. focuses primarily on the development, the validation and the market introduction of advanced telemedicine applications for monitoring and prevention of skin diseases. Together with their technologists they are the developers of a new teledermatology application. First B.V. is a partner in the project, their core activities are design, development and realization of applicable products. The research group Psychology & Communication of Health & Risk (PCHR) of the University of Twente will perform a needs assessment with all relevant stakeholders for this project. This research plays an active role in the inventory of all value needs at all stakeholders (this includes potential users) and the translation of these value needs into attributes and requirements. The identification of these values, attributes and requirements allows us to advice the developers of the application in an early stage of development what the exact needs and wishes of the stakeholders are regarding the product.
