|---|---|---|
Interpersonal social interaction, building relationships and the communication with others are key needs of every human being. In particular, people who are suffering from a serious illness will often experience a strong desire to communicate how they feel, their worries and sorrows, or important experiences to gain support from people they trust like friends & relatives. In this work we discuss the requirements for the design of unobtrusive technologies to support the communication between patients and their relatives. We also present design concepts and prototypes based on these requirements. These devices are especially useful when illness inhibits the patient from using conventional methods of communication or if the patient doesn't wish to burden their loved ones with the depth of intimacy they crave. |
