Dignity is a key value within healthcare. Technology is also recognized as being a fundamental part of healthcare delivery, but also a potential cause of dehumanization of the patient. Therefore, understanding how medical devices can be designed to help deliver dignity is important. This paper explores the role of empathy tools as a way of engendering empathy in engineers and designers to enable them to design for dignity. A framework is proposed that makes the link between empathy tools and outcomes of feelings of dignity. It represents a broad systems view that provides a structure for reviewing the evidence for the efficacy of empathy tools and also how dignity can be systematically understood for particular medical devices.
尊严是医疗保健中的一项关键价值观。技术也被视为医疗保健服务的一个基本组成部分，但同时也是导致患者非人性化的一个潜在原因。因此，了解如何设计医疗设备以帮助实现尊严非常重要。本文探讨了共情工具的作用，将其作为一种在工程师和设计师中培养共情能力的方式，使他们能够进行尊严设计。文中提出了一个框架，该框架建立了共情工具与尊严感结果之间的联系。它代表了一种广泛的系统观点，为审查共情工具功效的证据以及如何针对特定医疗设备系统地理解尊严提供了一个结构。
