Designers are increasingly collaborating with data scientists to apply smart data technologies to understand large-scale user behavior during their design research. This is useful in specific impact domains with vulnerable users and unfamiliar contexts, such as healthcare design. Patient journey mapping is the most common design tool for...

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the Netherlands, often caused by having too much exposure to UV radiation from the sun. An effect of this is that the part of the body that is exposed the most to the sun is also the body part where skin cancer is seen more often; the head. When the skin cancer gets removed surgically, the defect...

In this graduation thesis I investigate how to design for patient empowerment in the context of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients in their follow-up phase (the first 5 years after treatment). This project is set up with the Erasmus MC and was initiated to elaborate on their current service called the Healthcare Monitor (HM). The HM is a...

Problem In the current care pathway for patients suffering from a Myocardial Infarction (MI), a paradox has been identified in long-term chronic care: modification of cardiovascular risk factors reduce mortality and prevent recurrent cardiac events. However, MI survivors rarely change their lifestyle and relapse often in old habits. The...

The current pandemic has drastically changed the primary care field. Suddenly, GP practices had to implement more digital or ‘care at a distance’ methods to keep interacting with patients. This was reflected by the strong increase in telephone consults and practices that used video calling for the first time. However, the sudden digital...

Design in healthcare projects is complex because of the high number of stakeholders and the involvement of end-users in the design process. This causes collaboration issues and information asymmetry which are barriers in communication and information exchange. The purpose of this research is to gain insight into the design process in healthcare...
