Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Patient Support Systems
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Patient needs in health crises are complex, requiring accessible information and support.
  • Existing health support systems may not adequately address the multifaceted needs of patients during critical times.
  • The University of Wisconsin developed an interactive system to bridge these gaps.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development process of an interactive information technology based on needs assessment data.
  • To introduce the Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System (CHESS) for patients in health-related crises.
  • To highlight the application of CHESS for breast cancer patients and their families.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing needs assessment data to inform system design.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Developing an interactive information, social support, and problem-solving system.
  • Focusing the application on breast cancer patient and family support.

    • Main Results:

    • An interactive system, CHESS, was successfully developed.
    • The system integrates information, social support, and problem-solving functionalities.
    • The program is tailored for breast cancer patients and their families.

    Conclusions:

    • Needs assessment is crucial for developing effective patient support technologies.
    • Interactive systems like CHESS can significantly aid patients during health crises.
    • CHESS provides a valuable model for supporting specific patient populations, such as those with breast cancer.
