PROJECT TITLE :

The Personal Health Technology Design Space

ABSTRACT:

Interest is increasing in personal health technologies that utilize mobile platforms for improved health and well-being. But, though a wide variety of those systems exist, each is designed quite differently and materializes several different and a lot of or less specific design assumptions. To enable designers to create informed and well-articulated design call, the authors propose a style space for personal health technologies. This space consists of ten dimensions connected to the planning of information sampling ways, visualization and feedback approaches, treatment models, and regulatory constraints.
