session 2: Involving end users in the design process
The ease of use and acceptance of a medical product by patients and caregivers is essential for a successful medical device. Therefore it is important that your product matches the needs of the stakeholders and fits in the work processes and use scenarios of your end-users. An efficient way to match those needs is to involve patients and caregivers closely in the design process of your medical device. In each development stage of the design process different tools and techniques are available for stakeholder involvement.
The primary focus of this workshop is on the early stages of the development process. We focus on stakeholder mapping and persona mapping, which are powerful tools to get better user insights. In addition, we treat methods such as process mapping and patient journey mapping that are powerful methods to tailor the workflow and the service around the product to the healthcare environment.
course aim
In this workshop we are going to find answers on the following questions:
- Which methods are available for patient and caretaker participation in the stages of the design process of your medical device?
- How can you embed these methods in the design process effectively?
