Connected Health for Patients Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer
(2020) MAMM01 20181Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology
- Abstract
- Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed diseases among men,
both in Sweden and the US. It is a consuming disease that tears on both the
patient and his relatives. The different stages of disease are many, as are the
different treatment options and drugs. New diagnostic techniques are constantly
being developed and more imaging methods become available. As new digital
techniques evolve, so does the possibilities to involve the patients in their health
care. Providing the patients with a tool that could help follow disease changes
over time could be an important part towards recovery. What this tool and
technical solution could contain is something that is researched in this report.

technical solution could contain is something that is researched in this report.
A high-fidelity prototype for such a solution was created using established methods
of human-centered design. The prototype contains design for some of the
features discussed throughout the report, such as; viewing and comparing of
diagnostic images, mood tracking, comparing test results and sharing updates
with family and friends. The prototype was evaluated with a heuristic evaluation
and a SUS score. This evaluation provided useful feedback on how to make
this a functional product in the future, with a positive result to the prototype. (Less)
