Abstract:
The rapid rise of telehealth has revolutionized healthcare access, particularly for those in rural and under-served areas. This paper presents the interdisciplinary research and development of a telehealth project aimed at enhancing the experience of palliative care patients. The project, spanning three years, involved multiple stakeholders, including software engineering researchers, healthcare researchers, clinical experts, a telehealth industry partner, and a government entity. We address the core challenges encountered during the project, particularly in managing interdisciplinary collaboration, and share strategies that we found useful to enable valuable, human-centered outcomes.
