The SCRIPT project as an
interdisciplinary Consortium of experts employs an exciting and innovative methodology
to design, test and evaluate two robotic devices for home-based rehabilitation
of hand and wrist at the chronic stage of stroke. We are applying a mixed of
health services and user-centred design methods to engage potential users of
the robotic technology during the process of design.

Furthermore, user requirements have been
identified through scoping of knowledge and evidence, Use cases of the SCRIPT
system have been created as the basic building blocks of a usable system and Wireframes
or visual presentation of the SCRIPT User interface have been produced. The
findings of all these research activities which reflect clinical aspect as well
as usability engineering aspect of the project will be incorporated into the empirical
findings of the first phase to create a framework for the SCRIPT system.
The
first SCRIPT prototype will be tested with users using a participatory
evaluation method and by encouraging them to think aloud about usability
problems. The outcome of the evaluation will be reported to developers,
modification will be made to the design for the next iteration of the
prototype.
