Gathering requirements for a personal health management system

Published: 07 May 2011 Publication History

Abstract

Applications are being designed to make health information available to the healthcare consumer. However, little is known about the support people need in using health information. We conducted semi-structured interviews to find out how people use health information to manage the chronic illness type-2 diabetes. We found that diabetics want to be motivated to treat the disease seriously and that the patient's social network takes on additional work that is unrelated to their existing social role to support the patient's health-related activities. Based on our findings, we propose a set of formative requirements to be included in the design of a personal health management system.
