User-Centered CASE Tools for User-Centered Information Systems

The goal of this research is to design and evaluate a new generation of CASE tools, capable of clearly supporting all the styles of work adopted by teams of developers and capable of promoting Usability concerns to Information Systems building. Our research approach is based on (a) creating usable and effective models of the developers behavior, and (b) building innovative, unconstrained collab...

Medical Monitoring for Independent Living: User-Centered Design of Smart Home Technologies for Older Adults

Formally involving users in the design of eHealth solutions can be beneficial. However, within the eHealth domain, the design process is often technology driven. In contrast, we present the need for and benefits of a user-centered approach to technology development. In addition, we argue that smart home environments, such as Georgia Tech’s Aware Home, Philips’ Home & CareLab and TNO/DUT’s Exper...
