Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
Teledermatology (TD) is an application of telemedicine i.e. clinical healthcare using IT-technologies, for skin disorders. This past decade, several publications have studied its feasibility and medical interest. As any innovative system, challenges in telemedicine now stand on large-scale deployment, appropriate user identification, economical and organizational models. Ahead any technological solutions and in the perspective of TD implementation in the French medical healthcare landscape, a key factor may be to design a robust and relevant system fixing the need and the priorities to decision-makers or industry-service. Regarding a design engineering approach, we performed an original study considering TD as any complex system and innovative service to design. This approach of a healthcare system using innovation conception tools and system functional analysis, will identify specific users, use-scenarios and the main functions, which have to be carried out by TD.
