Smart Documentation with Tele-Board MED

Documentation is a field of active research both for the community of design thinkers and medical practitioners. One major challenge is to combine the advantages of analogue and digital documentation. Since documentation needs are particularly similar in the fields of design thinking and behaviour psychotherapy, an intense collaboration has emerged among these disciplines. The design thinking tool Tele-Board has been adapted for documentation purposes in behaviour psychotherapy, yielding a first medical application of the new tool Tele-Board MED. In the course of tool adaptation, additional features have been developed such as an automatic protocol function. These new features are not only useful for therapists but beneficial for design thinkers too. This chapter explains why collaborative work on documentation tools is particularly promising at the intersection of design thinking and behaviour psychotherapy. We outline the development and empirical evaluation of the new protocol function. Furthermore, this chapter discusses how Tele-Board MED supports documentation in behaviour psychotherapy on the one hand and documentation of design thinking projects on the other hand.
