Abstract
This thesis examines how user-driven innovation, with patients as an active resource, can be translated into the development of an ICT-based communication solution for chronic conditions, exemplified by severe obesity. The work is motivated by the growing burden of lifestyle-related disease, the need for long-term follow-up, and an emphasis on empowerment and patient education. Theoretical framing includes the Technology Model, STS (Science, Technology, Society), and a maturity model. The study employs qualitative methods—focus groups, semi-structured interviews, and video observation (with ethical considerations)—alongside interaction design approaches such as contextual design, paper-based prototyping, usability testing, and heuristic evaluation. Requirements and design were structured using Use Cases and UML, and an electronic prototype was developed with a technical partner, drawing on web 2.0 and open-source ideas. The report documents the full development process and concludes with assessments of methods and models and proposals for further work toward positioning patients as co-producers of health services. Detailed evaluation results are not provided in this excerpt.
Denne afhandling undersøger, hvordan brugerdreven innovation med patienterne som aktiv ressource kan omsættes til udvikling af en IKT-baseret kommunikationsløsning for kroniske sygdomme, eksemplificeret ved svær overvægt. Baggrunden er en stigende forekomst af livsstilssygdomme, behov for langvarig opfølgning og et fokus på empowerment og patientuddannelse. Afhandlingen rammesættes teoretisk af Teknologimodellen, STS (Science, Technology, Society) og en modenhedsmodel. Undersøgelsen anvender kvalitative metoder som fokusgrupper, semistrukturerede interviews og videoobservation (med etiske overvejelser), samt udviklingsmetoder fra interaction design, herunder contextual design, papirbaseret prototyping, usability-test og heuristisk evaluering. Krav og design blev systematiseret gennem Use Cases og UML, og der blev i samarbejde med en teknisk partner udviklet en elektronisk prototype med inspiration fra web 2.0 og open source. Rapporten beskriver hele udviklingsforløbet og afslutter med vurderinger af metoder og teoretiske modeller samt forslag til videre arbejde mod at gøre patienter til medproducenter af sundhedsydelser. Uddraget indeholder ikke detaljerede resultater af evalueringerne.
