User-Centered Design of the C3-Cloud Platform for Elderly with Multiple Diseases : Functional Requirements and Application Testing

• The number of patients with multimorbidity has been steadily increasing in the modern aging societies. The European C3-Cloud project provides a multidisciplinary and patient-centered “Collaborative Care and Cure-system” in the management of elderly with multimorbidity, enabling continous coordination of care activities between multidisciplinary care teams (MDTs), patients and informal care givers (ICG). In this paper, we report how various components of the infrastructure were tested to fulfill the functional requirements and how the entire system was subjected to an early application testing involving different groups of end-users. MDTs from participating European regions were involved in requirement elicitation and test formulation, resulting in 57 questions, distributed via an internet platform, to 48 test participants (22 MDTs, 26 patients) from three pilot sites. The results indicate an overall high level of satisfaction for all Information and Communication Technologie (ICT) components among the users. The early testing also provided user feedback important to consider for technical improvement of the entire system.
