Integrating Users Logic Into Requirements Engineering for Connected Healthcare co-Design

Abstract

The ongoing transformation in healthcare requires the creation of agile systems to meet the growing needs of patients. An approach to develop such systems requires the elicitation of end-users’ perspectives to software development life circle. The current requirements development process does not emphasis on the importance of end-users’ participation in the requirements elicitation phase. The present study proposes an approach utilizing Service-Dominant (S-D) logic framework to contribute to the co-design of connected health services. Value co-creation practices when combined with requirements engineering best practices can contribute towards the development of usable software for connected healthcare systems.
