Abstract
When product designers develop advanced medical appliances, they have to deal with medical treatment procedures. If treatment procedures are ignored by designers, final products might conflicts with the hospital practice. Therefore, the development of procedures and product requirements should take place before or parallel with appliance design. However, the development can only be realized when access to the knowledge of users of the appliances is available. This paper discusses the application of a participatory design game to facilitate the participation of users in the development of a treatment procedure including appliances. The game has proven its usefulness in a case study.
