User-centered design in developing countries: a case study of a sustainable intercultural healthcare platform in Ethiopia |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
User-centered design (UCD) is a well-established development methodology that focuses during the whole design process on users' goals and context. This is especially important in software development projects in developing countries, where the development and use situations typically greatly diverge. We are currently conducting a joint research project pursuing technology-enabled maternal and child healthcare in rural areas of Ethiopia. In this paper, we report our findings and lessons learned from employing a UCD approach to address challenges stemming from lack of education, lack of training, and mostly illiterate users.
