目的：我们采用跨学科研究设计来研究中风幸存者在中风和技术方面的生活经历，以便为技术开发人员提供对即将设计的用于家庭手部和腕部康复的机器人技术的潜在用户的价值观、想法和感受的洞察。方法：有目的地选择十名中风幸存者及其家庭照顾者。在第一次家访时，他们被介绍了文化探索。第二次拜访时，以调查包的内容为提示，对他们进行了一对一的采访。使用主题分析对生成的数据进行分析。进行了第三次家访以评估早期原型。结果：用户需求被分类为他们的关系网络、他们对技术的态度、他们的技能、他们的目标和动机。用户需求用于设想系统的需求，包括提供有关系统性能、动机方面和可用性的反馈。参与者对系统要求的看法是在参与式评估期间获得的。结论：这项研究表明，在技术发展之前，与潜在用户接触以确定用户需求并随后根据用户的观点设想系统需求非常重要。
Purpose: We drew on an interdisciplinary research design to examine stroke survivors' experiences of living with stroke and with technology in order to provide technology developers with insight into values, thoughts and feelings of the potential users of a to-be-designed robotic technology for home-based rehabilitation of the hand and wrist. Method: Ten stroke survivors and their family carers were purposefully selected. On the first home visit, they were introduced to cultural probe. On the second visit, the content of the probe packs were used as prompt to conduct one-to-one interviews with them. The data generated was analysed using thematic analysis. A third home visit was conducted to evaluate the early prototype. Results: User requirements were categorised into their network of relationships, their attitude towards technology, their skills, their goals and motivations. The user requirements were used to envision the requirements of the system including providing feedback on performance, motivational aspects and usability of the system. Participants' views on the system requirements were obtained during a participatory evaluation. Conclusion: This study showed that prior to the development of technology, it is important to engage with potential users to identify user requirements and subsequently envision system requirements based on users' views.
