TTeC 2006 User experience design guidelines for telecare services (in development) Torbjørn Sund ETSI STF 299 (Telecare User Experience)

TTeC  ETSI: European Telecommunications Standardisation Institute  ICT standards organization, private not for profit  Created 1988, is now an internationally recognized multinational SDO  Global membership (670+ Members, 80% industry, 20% overseas)  Worldwide industrial hits (fixed, mobile, broadcast)…  Favours partnerships (regional/technical)  Founding partner and home of the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership project) (EU/US/China/Japan/Korea)  Broadcast (EBU/CLC)  Interoperability services (test specs, test suites, interop testing-”PlugTests”)  All deliverables available free of charge What is ETSI?

TTeC  STF: Specialist Task Force  An STF is a team of experts working together over a pre- defined period to draft an ETSI standard or technical report, under the guidance of an ETSI Technical Body and with the support of the ETSI Secretariat.  The task of the STF is to accelerate the standardisation process in areas of strategic importance and in response to urgent market needs.  STF work is normally done by the experts in common sessions in the ETSI premises of Sophia Antipolis.  Experts for STFs can be proposed by ETSI Members or supported by ETSI Members. What is an STF?

TTeC ETSI focus on standards  Technical interoperability:  Between systems (end-to-end interface, protocols)  Between building blocks (system architecture)  Between components (component design)  Reduce costs  Component-based development  Shorter development cycles  Easy integration  Expand markets  Enable competition  Faster learning  Create trust and confidence in products  Testing:  Conformance tests  Interoperability tests  Market validation  Systems integration  Project coordinator

TTeC Open process  Open meetings:All stakeholders may participate in the standards development process  Consensus:All interests are discussed and agreement found  Due process:Balloting and appeal process may be used to find resolution  Open IPR:IPR holders must identify themselves during standards development process  Open access:Open access to all deliverables  Open World:Same standard for the same function world-wide  Open interfaces:Allow additional functions, public or proprietary  Open markets:Interoperability, users are not locked in with one supplier or service provider

TTeC ETSI activities in Telecare  ETSI Technical Report:  Title: Telecare services; Issues and recommendations for user aspects  Objective: To “set the scene” so that that human factors aspects are duly considered in Telecare  Finished by: August, 2005  Available at:  Contents: Introduction to telecare Characteristics of telecare solutions Drivers, enablers and obstacles Stakeholders’ requirements and goals Human Factors recommendations for telecare solutions Conclusions and recommendations

TTeC ETSI activities in Telecare  ETSI Guide (under development):  Title: User experience guidelines; Telecare services (e- Health)  Objective: human factors and user experience design guidelines for every lifecycle stage of Telecare  Started: February, 2006  To be finished by: End of 2007  Information:

TTeC ETSI and e-health  The EU Commission has encouraged ETSI to continue its e-Health work and has already promised funding for  Creation of starter group to prepare a Technical Committee  Need for standardization:  Basic level: by mid 2004, a European Health Identity Card (EHIC) shall be introduced (already achieved).  National level: by 2005, EU member states are required to develop national and regional e Health strategies.  Interoperability level: by 2006, national healthcare networks should be well advanced in their efforts to exchange information, including client identifiers.  Networked level: by 2008, health information and services such as e-prescription, e-referral, telemonitoring and telecare, are to become commonplace, accessible over both fixed and mobile broadband networks.

TTeC Telecare is…  ICT-enabled delivery of health and social care services to individuals within the home or a wider area, involving  clients, carers and coordination agents.  A Business-to-Consumer (B2C) service model, including:  information and communication services;  safety and security monitoring;  personal monitoring;  electronic assistive technologies.  NOT telemedicine, a service offered to and used by healthcare professionals!  a Business- to-Business (B2B) service model

TTeC Evolution of Telecare Services  1st Generation  Social alarms - dispersed panic alarm with pendant and pull cords  Addition of passive sensors for auto alerts  An existing care intervention package  2nd Generation  Telecare systems - adaptive, personalised but event driven  Exhibits aspects of reasoning  An emerging care intervention package  3rd Generation  Well-being analysis - pre-emptive, long term trend analysis  Migrates Telecare from a crisis safety net to an assessment tool  Will enable intervention outcome measures and optimisation

TTeC Rationale for our work Telecare must move from the research phase to the commercial phase / real world, considering:  Intuitive and simple user interfaces  Reliability  Security and privacy issues  Interoperability  Business models A user centred approach is required!
