  Participatory research in the health sector is fraught with obstacles. In particular, choosing appropriate methods to involve the heterogeneous stakeholders in the health system can be difficult. Not only are time constraints and hierarchies between professional (and non-professional) healthcare actors a challenge, but also dealing with patients who may have different physical and psychological limitations. Accordingly, not all qualitative methods are applicable to all stakeholder groups. Limitations such as speech or visual impairments can make it difficult to participate in focus groups or design workshops. In this workshop we will discuss experiences with participatory methods in the health sector and explore how established methods can be made more inclusive so that they can be adapted to a wide range of stakeholders.

  Bhattacharjee, S. (2023)Promoting Health and Fitness among Office Workers: A Design-Case-Study

  , Siegen
  [BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]

  This thesis work report presents a Design-Case Study methodology applied to the development and evaluation of a workplace health promotion solution within the unique context of employees in a public organization. The study explores the intricate dynamics between technology, health, and the modern workplace from a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective. Thematic analysis of interviews with eight participants reveals three central themes: the impact of workplace challenges on personal life, the role of motivation through awareness, and the necessity of understanding diverse user requirements. Design implications derived from these themes provide actionable guidance, emphasizing the importance of tailored interventions that acknowledge workplace needs, integrate nudging functionalities, ensure privacy-aware design, prioritize motivation, and leverage team-based approaches. User feedback during the evaluation phase uncovers usability challenges and user perceptions, highlighting the iterative nature of design. The thesis will contribute to HCI by highlighting the human-centered aspects of workplace health promotion and providing practical insights for organizations seeking to enhance employee well-being. The findings emphasize the importance of ongoing user engagement, responsiveness, and a commitment to user-centered design in the pursuit of holistic workplace well-being.
