Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a project on treating diabetic patients with foot ulcers at home. There is a great potential for a better treatment of patients with ulcers at home while obtaining substantial cost-savings. The project investigates whether pervasive computing has something to add in a telemedical setting, where the patient and the district nurse are communicating with the expert at the hospital. Methods of user-centered design are applied and presented. The overall design principles for enabling cooperation between patients and district nurses at home and ulcer experts at the hospital are presented, and the current status of the technical implementation is outlined. |
