Co-Creating Neurorehabilitation Technology Alongside Lived Experience Experts: A Participatory Design Workshop
Co-Creating Neurorehabilitation Technology Alongside Lived Experience Experts: A Participatory Design Workshop
This research presents and evaluates a participatory design workshop that involved stroke survivors (lived experience experts) and caregivers early in the development of neurorehabilitation technology.
The study evaluates a participatory design workshop involving stroke survivors and caregivers to co-create neurorehabilitation technologies, demonstrating how lived experience inputs shift design priorities from technical assumptions to user-centered needs such as fear, fatigue, and independence.

arXiv:2611.12202v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Involving patients' lived experience (LE) early in neurorehabilitation technology design can improve the relevance and effectiveness of solutions, yet LE experts are often involved only when finished prototypes are tested. We present and evaluate a participatory design (PD) workshop for early LE involvement, examine how LE contributions influence design processes and

ectives, such as opening a blister pack, produced task-specific solutions, whereas broader objectives generated device concepts, including sensory feedback for cycling and a stimulation-equipped cooking splint. Satisfaction was high among attendees and LE experts. All workshop tools and protocols are shared to support adoption. The workshop offers a practical foundation for involving LE experts early in neurorehabili
