ABSTRACT
To design an application that supports an individual's self-care activities, we must understand how they are currently using health information. However, little is known about the support people need for using health information. In this work, we conducted semi-structured interviews to find out how people use health information. We found that people use health information to understand their disease, to establish their role in managing the disease, and to achieve their actual management goals. From the results, we extracted a set of functional requirements for a personal health management system. Our system is unique because it provides personalized information, utilizes visualizations to display the effects of uncontrolled diabetes, and engages the patient's social network.
