USER ORIENTED DESIGN
                “If you don’t go, you don’t know”

THE PROBLEM

• Design   is a contextual activity

 • What    works here doesn’t work there

• You   don’t know what your users know

• What   you think your users need is not what they need

• What   users think they need is not what what they need

HOW CAN WE DO IT?

• Go

• Listen

• Watch

• Play

• Iterate
TAKE 1
Group SMS communications
• Most health workers
 don’t have Internet
 access at their
 workplaces...

• ...neither
        they have
 computers

• But most of them have
 cell phones
GROUP SMS
TAKE 2
Interacting with the system
EXPLORING
 SYMBOLS
   #?
Verbose syntax?
Abbreviated syntax?
Symbol syntax?
LET USERS FIND OUT
PLAYING WIZARD OF OZ
 •   Test how users interact with
     your system before it actually
     exists

 •   Make users believe that there’s
     a system already built and you
     want them to help you test it

 •   Put someone behind the
     curtains to interact with them
     as if he/she was the system
TAKE 3
Reporting structured data
UNSTRUCTURED VS. SEMISTRUCTURED VS.
   STRUCTURED WAYS OF SHARING
          INFORMATION

 •   Unstructured: “We are dealing with cholera     Simple,
easy,

     outbreak will call you later”                     flexible



 •   Semistructured: “at Rachaburi, we are         Simple,
requires

                                                      FEATURE

     seeing Cholera URGENT”                         EXTRACTION,

                                                    some
training

 •   Structured: “H5N1, Birds:200, Lab:No,            Complex
for

                                                  human

to
get

                                                         right

                              cases:15




                                  Received report
                                   of 15 diarrhea
                                  cases in Thurdor

REPORTING WHEEL
REPORTING WHEEL
WHEEL DESIGN GOALS

       •   Instructions must be in users’
           native language

       •   The wheel has to explain itself,
           to minimize the need for
           training

       •   Have you ever tried to write
           instructions and make them as
           short as possible? Quite a
           challenge!
USERS HAVE THE ANSWER

• Findpotential users and
 conduct usability tests over
 the first prototype with their
 help

• Givethem a minimal
 explanation about what the
 wheel is trying to solve, not
 how it works
WIZARD OF OZ, THE SEQUEL
COLLECT FEEDBACK
• Amazing feedback just
 from the initial reactions

• “Why  can’t I report
 what’s in the left?”

• “What do I have to do
 with the report I built?”

• “What   will happen if I
 call that number?”
ITERATE!
ITERATE!
SUMMARY
• Don’ttry to guess: you
 won’t get it right

• Leave your preconceived
 ideas of what works at
 home, at home!

• Listen, watch, ask, be   humble

• People   like to play

• Iterate...forever
THANK YOU!
       QUESTIONS ?

  1. - There’s not such a thing as a Good or Bad things: there are things that work for some people in some places under some circunstances
  2. The windmill powers a bicycle dynamo, designed to power a bicycle’s headlamp. William ran the bicycle dynammo through a transformer, which provided enough power to charge a 12 volt battery. That battery in turn powers four lights, two radios and a mobile phone charger in William’s home.
  3. Most of them don't have access to Internet or even a computer at their workplaces, but in general they do have a cell phone and the ability to send SMS.
  4. -Focusing on usability: design a simple and usable command syntax for Geochat

  7. -Wizard of Oz for usability testing before the system exists
  8. -Focusing on usability: design a simple and usable command syntax for Geochat
  9. -Third step: writing SMS is hard, and some health workers don't know how to do it. Even if they knew, for example in Cambodia there are just a few phone models which support Khmer, and they're not very popular. So they have to learn English disease names (most of them are too difficult to  spell!) or code numbers by heart. The whole process becomes too error prone and uncomfortable for users: either they are forced to learn words in a foreign language which are easily misspelled, or they have to enter code numbers which have no semantic value for them. Moreover, if they mistype a single digit, they may end up reporting a totally different disease from the one they wanted to!

  11. Play Wizard of Oz: ask her to send a report by calling a number (which supposedly belongs to the system). Record a video of the whole experience for later analysis.
  12. Record initial reactions, fears, uncertainties, doubts and feedback. The feedback collected from the first couple of users was amazing, and very eyeopening!
