However, heterogeneity of information models and the employeecentric nature of most healthcare systems make information exchange, with a focus on the interests of patients, non-trivial. For example, it is not clear how the free-text and patient initiated interaction features of emerging patient empowering telemedicine can integrate to the many employee centric systems with heterogeneous information models. From the perspectives of enabling patients’ read/write initiatives across health related standards, from a unified interface, we conduct analysis of the following information domains that support: (A) healthcare employees and are specific to formal procedures inside a healthcare scope; (B) patient and care givers and are also specific to formal procedures in a healthcare scope; (C) any group and are...

Kristensen; M. Kyng; E. Christensen 1. University of Aarhus, Aarhus N, Denmark 2. Denmark During emergency response, use of wired bio-sensors creates problems for the response workers. It is difficult to transport patients and checking of data requires that you to be next to the patient. This presentation reports on a work in progress regarding the development of a wireless bio-monitor system that supports distribution and use of biosensor data by all involved parties during emergency response. The system is being developed in close cooperation between doctors, paramedics and information technology specialists using qualitative methods including ethnographically inspired field work and simulations of future work. The system consists of small bio-monitors with sensors and a unique identifier which is placed onto the victims. The bio-monitors communicate wirelessly with one ...

We consider the concepts of subsystems and aggregates as developed in the DELTA project, which may assist us when using the two construction strategies. We discuss some of the difficulties which may arise, and make a preliminary proposal for an aggregate concept, usable in both SIMULA and DELTA.

We are particularly grateful to the two patients, members of the Finnish Parkinson's Association, who accepted to participate in the workshop and enabled researchers to get a perspective on the challenges of their lives. We also want to thank all the Programme Committee members for all their work during the reviewing process as well as the organisers of NordiCHI 2014 for providing useful facilities.

Grounded in a project related to chronic dizziness among older people, we outline four challenges. These challenges, we argue, have to be carefully addressed when PD processes include the home. Research approach -- A PD project developing rehabilitation technologies for elderly people in private homes has been used to reflect on home-based PD projects compared with more traditional, workplace-oriented PD projects such as Utopia. Findings -- We identify four challenges in home-based PD. The challenges are 1) Negotiating knowledge about the home, 2) Ill, weak users, 3) Divergent interests of participants and 4) Usable and sustainable post-project solutions. These challenges are used to reflect upon differences between a home-based PD process, such as ours with non-workers, and work-place projects, such as Utopia. Through this reflection, the paper contributes to a more general discussion on PD in non-work settings with weak users. Research limitations -- The paper is grounded in one project where the elderly participants are heavily affected by their illness. Furthermore, they have no or very little experience with ICT, e.g. computers or mobile phones. Take away message -- Differences do exist between traditional PD projects in work settings, such as Utopia, and home-based PD with weak users especially in relation to knowledge about settings and how to reconcile differences in interests. The home as a place for (technology-assisted) treatment and PD must be carefully analyzed, and diverse interests and roles should be negotiated among all stakeholders.
