Abstract

This paper presents the requirement elicitation and development of an innovative telemedicine service for stroke patients, following a user centered design approach. The aim was to develop a usable service which will have a high chance of adoption by the end users. As a starting point for the development, an existing telemedicine service was used that is already in practice for other diagnosis groups, consisting of four modules (information, monitoring, exercising, communication). Additional requirements for the service for stroke patients were established during semi-structured interviews with stroke patients and focus groups with healthcare professionals. Results showed that the functionalities of the existing telemedicine service fits the needs of end-users in stroke rehabilitation quite well, however the clinical content needs some adaptations, especially the exercise module. Requirements from both user groups seemed quite similar and are adapted in the service. The new service fits the needs of all end users, however it should be validated more extensively throughout the organizations.
