Abstract

The Participatory Design community has come a long way in terms of raising attention to include future users in the design and development of new technologies and in relation to making PD approaches applicable in real life projects. Based upon a case study of a - in many ways - successful project in the Danish healthcare sector we discuss issues in relation to participation and representation in projects with diversified user groups.
