Healthcare technology projects often fail due to overlooking human factors. This study integrates human-centered computing principles into project lifecycles to improve complex system design, enhancing knowledge management.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Health Informatics
  • Systems Engineering

Background:

  • Healthcare technology projects frequently fail due to inadequate consideration of human elements like workflow, organizational change, and usability.
  • Existing approaches often focus narrowly on user interface design, neglecting broader human-centered computing principles.
  • Human-centered computing encompasses users, functions, and tasks, extending beyond mere interface improvements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To integrate a human-centered methodology with a Project Design Lifecycle.
  • To apply this integrated approach to the design of a knowledge management system for Biomedical Engineers at NASA.
  • To demonstrate the value of a human-centered approach in complex system development.

Main Methods:

  • Identification of system problems and generation of system requirements.
  • Specification of a replacement prototype using an integrated human-centered methodology and Project Design Lifecycle.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful integration of human-centered methodology with Project Design Lifecycle.
    • Development of a prototype for effective organizational memory and knowledge management.
    • Identification of unique properties, structures, and processes contributing to prototype design.

    Conclusions:

    • A human-centered approach, encompassing users, functions, and tasks, is crucial for successful healthcare technology projects.
    • Integrating human-centered methodologies with project lifecycles enhances the design of complex systems.
    • This approach provides valuable insights and improves organizational memory and knowledge management systems.
