Summary of the Workshop:
The hipper study has been conducted among elderly recovering from hip surgery in several rehabilitation units based in nursing homes in the Amsterdam area . An action research approach was chosen in order to develop a treatment framework in which sensor monitoring is embedded, used to enhance coaching of selfmanagement that could be used in everyday practice. Therefore therapist working with these clients were recruited to actively participate to the development of the treatment framework and the development of the sensor monitoring system.
One of the main challenges of this study was to ensure that the therapist became an active member in developing their way of using sensor monitoring in rehabilitation. In this workshop, the methodology used to develop this framework will be presented and discussed followed by a “co-create session” as used in the hipper project. This method is following a structured approach assuring therapist are actively involved in developing the way of working with new technology. This workshop strives to give an insight about the way this is conducted in the study and inspire future projects. After the session, experiences of the participants are shared together with the researchers experiences and results of the Hipper project.



Maximum number of participants:
About 30 people.

Brief description of intended participants:
this workshop is open for everybody who is interested in developing a new practice framework. However very suitable for researchers involved in developing new technology., Therapist working with new forms of technology.
