Clinical requirements engineering

Published: 15 May 2005 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, I make a case for integration of requirements engineering (RE) with clinical disciplines. To back my case, I look at two examples that employ a clinical RE approach, first, that of introducing email into the life of a brain-injured individual, and second, introducing digital darkroom tools into my life. The former uses a Brownfield approach by starting with an existing clinical process, cognitive rehabilitation, and then defining an RE process that fits. The latter uses a Greenfield approach that postulates a new clinical RE process that focuses on the problems some of us have using digital darkroom tools.
