Abstract

In this paper, we explore the complex phenomenon of premenstrual disorders (PMDs) and how we can begin to design care technology that can help alleviate the negative experiences of PMDs. We do this by developing a set of design criteria and design openings based on interviews with experts and literature reviews. These are then qualified and challenged by deploying a design probe into the practices of four couples over the course of a menstrual cycle, each ending with a co-design session. The contribution is a delineation of a design space based on this probe study, where we outline the challenges and merits of treating PMDs as a relational phenomenon.
