This study developed an information technology (IT) cooperation system to improve support for disabled children. The system enhanced communication and collaboration, proving effective and user-friendly for families and professionals.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Rehabilitation Technology
- Assistive Technology
Background:
- Conventional communication methods show deficiencies in coordinating care for disabled children.
- Effective collaboration among parents, care, education, and welfare professionals is crucial.
- An IT-based system was proposed to address these cooperation gaps.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an IT-based cooperation system (CIDC) for disabled children's life situation.
- To determine if the CIDC system enhances the effectiveness of rehabilitation and habilitation work.
- To assess user satisfaction and system usability among families and professionals.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual development and evaluation of the CIDC system.
- Pilot testing with 8 families, involving 5-12 users per e-room.
- Data collection through user experiences and satisfaction assessments.
Main Results:
- Parents reported high satisfaction and facilitation of their work.
- Professionals noted advantages but some concerns about increased workload.
- System usefulness was high, though utilization varied; parent-controlled systems showed higher engagement.
Conclusions:
- The CIDC system is effective, user-friendly, and easy to implement.
- It significantly improves communication and collaboration for disabled children's care.
- Further development with parent associations is planned to expand its reach.
