Summary
Shared calendars aid home health management for chronic conditions like diabetes and asthma. These tools help families organize tasks, appointments, and integrate health needs with daily life.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Chronic Disease Management
Background:
- Home health management requires integrating complex health needs with daily life.
- Shared calendars are potential tools for organizing family health tasks and appointments.
- Understanding user strategies and challenges is crucial for effective health management tools.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the role of shared calendars in home health management for chronic conditions.
- To compare calendar use strategies between individuals with diabetes and mothers of children with asthma.
- To identify challenges and successes in using calendar systems for chronic disease management.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative study using maximum variation sampling.
- Interviews conducted with 20 adults with diabetes and 20 mothers of children with asthma.
- Analysis of participants' use of scheduling tools, event capture, intersecting artifacts, and system failures.
Main Results:
- Participants utilized shared calendars to organize health-related tasks and appointments.
- Strategies included integrating health events with non-health activities within the family calendar.
- Challenges involved managing competing demands and failures in the calendar system.
Conclusions:
- Shared calendars can be valuable tools for home health management in chronic illness contexts.
- Effective integration of health management into family life requires tailored scheduling strategies.
- Further research can optimize calendar systems for supporting families with chronic conditions.
