DEVELOPING COMMUNITY-PLATFORMS FOR CANCER PATIENTS-THE COSMOS-PROJECT.

Online communities can –theoretically- be described as a solution for meeting cancer patientsinformation and interaction needs. But how can such a platform for cancer patients be designed,implemented and introduced practically? Investigating this lies at the heart of the COSMOS1-Project.In order to gain insight into the situation of cancer patients we have conducted several field studies.On the basis of the identified information and interaction needs we have derived requirements for usercentric socio technical system design for cancer patients. Since already existing offers on theEuropean/non-English-speaking internet have not met these prerequisites we have started to developand implement a virtual community for cancer patients. Hereby two topics are of special interest.First, how can a community platform for this target group be built systematically or in other wordshow should a process model look like for the development and the introduction and second, whatspecifications has a possible technical infrastructure to meet in order to fit the needs of the cancerpatients.[...]
