Product & Service Design platform
Description
From the University of Twente, the initiative was taken in 2011 to bundle the research related to the field of Industrial Design in the Product & Service Design Platform. On 12 December, the second symposium of this Platform will take place. This symposium is organised in cooperation with the Industrial Design Centre (IDC, Twente). During the symposium, the first copy of the 'Research Overview 2013', a book providing an overview of the research currently underway at UT in this field, will be presented to Erwin Seydel

15.00 h Parallel sessions
Lisette van Gemert, Saskia Kelders, Geke Ludden and Thomas van Rompay:
This workshop is a co-production of Industrial Design and Behavioural Sciences. In this workshop, we highlight in the context of eHealth how technology can entice its users. The aim of this workshop is to show and further explore how a socio-technical approach can promote user-centricity of technology. Technology offers many opportunities to make eHealth interventions more attractive, in practice, however, the charismatic properties of technology are not sufficiently exploited. The result is: high drop-out rates (in distance care), one-sided reach (only highly educated women) and boredom (little stimulating technology).
