Abstract
User-centered design recognizes the importance of considering the specific needs of clients and professionals when designing technical support. In some cases, creating a better ecosystem may indeed require facilitating collaboration between clients, professionals, or both. By focusing on collaboration between these stakeholders (inter-client, inter-professional, and client-professional), technology solutions can be designed to better meet their needs and facilitate effective communication, collaboration, and mutual understanding. In this talk, I will present a series of our research projects that highlight the importance of considering the specific needs of clients, professionals, and their collaboration when designing technical support. These examples include stakeholders in PrEP medication, migrant workers in healthcare, peers in physical activity, peers in co-creation, and judges in COMPAS. Through these cases, I will demonstrate how we use a variety of mixed research methods and design approaches to understand and meet the needs of clients and professionals. These methods also provide valuable insights into the dynamics of communications and interactions between clients, between professionals, and between clients and professionals, and help us align their goals and objectives. In addition, I would discuss the implications of the adaptability of the design approach, particularly in participatory design workshops that promote the participation of clients and professionals. By engaging clients and professionals in design workshops, whether synchronously or asynchronously, we can gain a deeper understanding of their communication and collaboration dynamics, ultimately enabling us to provide better services.
