Workshop with Prof. Dr. Lauri Wessel

This workshop is about you and helping you excel with your digital health project through learning the basics of the design science research methodology (DSRM). It will help you advance your project because DSRM guides you toward grounding your work in scientific literature, developing prototypes on that basis and evaluating your work in real-life settings. At this stage, a ‘project’ could be anything ranging from a rough idea of what could be improved in the health care domain, over a product you would want to develop or even a more thought through initiative that you are planning (paper, grant proposal, spin-off venture, etc.). In this workshop, we will jointly work on an action plan that you can subsequently use to manage all these projects. I encourage participants to bring their ideas (for example, product, service, or even desirable outcome) to the workshop so that we can use the workshop to form teams and advance your ideas. At the end of the day, you will have understood how DSRM works and will be able to apply it to work in your area of interest.
