Patient-centered design for a personal health record system

AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2005:2005:1140.

Abstract

Our objective for this project was to design a user interface (UI) for a patient-centered personal health record system that models how patients view their health information. We assessed user needs, examined how patients label and categorize health information, and evaluated two user interfaces that we designed for the Patient-Centered Health Record (PcHR) system. Our design process focused on discovering useful content and ensuring that the UI was intuitive, easy to use, and helpful for users.
