Abstract
Consumer health information technology (CHIT) applications have the potential to improve overall care quality for older adults. The design and development of CHIT applications requires an understanding of the current and future personal health information management (PHIM) activities occurring in home and community settings. Building a better understanding of critical PHIM activities, such as how older adults track and log health information, is essential in the design of technologies that support these activities. This paper presents findings from a contextual inquiry of how older adults currently use artifacts in logging and tracking personal health information (PHI). Context and privacy management emerged as key themes in data analysis. Design implications for future CHIT applications are discussed.
