The development of the designed tools for understanding of robotic surgery (2)

Patient-centered approach to visualize the medical information

Abstract

We report the collaborative research about healthcare and patient-centered design. Applying the methods of service design, communication tools between medical staff and patient were developed. As a communication tools, digital book of briefing document, 3D-models and article of patients’ voice were developed for explaining robot surgery. To understand the patients’ view, we observed in the hospital as a fieldwork. The rapid-prototyping method were required to design the tools.
