title: Participatory design with health consumers.
abstract: Participatory design methods can help create usable and useful systems by involving users directly in the design process. Traditional participatory design approaches have been adapted to work in health contexts and we present practical lessons we learned while designing with health consumers. These lessons are intended to be practical suggestions for system designers and researchers who want to create better technology by working as partners with health consumers during the design process.
