  3. 2. Same needs but different meanings. A comparison and analysis of the individual assistive mobility transfer device needs of four different categories of users

    Författare :Pamela Lindgren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; user-centred design; user studies; assistive technology; user needs;

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this licentiate thesis is to contribute to the knowledge about user needs for individual mobility assistive technology (AT) transfer devices. Two qualitative user studies, which were part of a design project, constitute the empirical data. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The visible patient. Hybridity and inpatient ward design in a Namibian context

    Författare :Catharina Nord; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :architectural theory; hospital design; healthcare building design; inpatient ward design; hybridity; embodiment; illness and disease; illness experience; patient-focused design; patient-centred design; healing environment; therapeutic environment; gl; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Even if one is confident that the staff provide the bestpossible treatment, being admitted into hospital is still astressful situation. In recent decades, architecturalresearchers have elaborated on aspects of the patient'sperspective where the design of the physical environment maypositively enhance the healing experience. LÄS MER
