Abstract

This paper discusses the question of the awareness and representation of product design aspects in the user-centred design's ISO process model applied in research projects in the realm of the Active and Assisted Living (AAL) Programme. Experience has shown that product design aspects are to date not as well integrated and applied in projects' everyday working practice as the realms usability engineering, user experience design and user interface design already are. This paper proposes refinements for the applied process as a basis for further elaborations.

Keywords: design process, engineering design, human centred design, user centred design, project management
