Designing Self-care Technologies for Everyday Life: A Practice Approach

Published:18 April 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

The number of self-care technologies in HCI is growing; too often though, these are medically-oriented, failing to integrate in everyday life. In this study I focus on the self-care of Parkinson's using a practice lens. Understanding everyday practices will enable me to derive design considerations for creating technology that integrates well in everyday life, which may benefit other chronic conditions as well.
