    Patients and EHRs tele home monitoring reference scenario
    ( 2005)
    Pieper, M.

    Stroetmann, K.
    This scenario focuses on patients as users of Electronic Health Records (EHR) relevant information. The concrete field of applications is telemonitoring at home, a field where many new approaches and devices are showing up on the market in various countries, an indication of the perceived relevance and market potential of this type of patient involvement. After an introduction to key aspects of patients as users of EHRs, we describe the main application scenario. Generic considerations of telemonitoring at home, as well as the concrete context and application, the telemonitoring equipment presently in use, and screen shots of EHR patient data as seen by the physician (which will later be used for evaluation and validation purposes of patients' access to their vital data) are presented and discussed. We conclude with a vision of the empowered patient using his ERR data to improve his medical condition and quality of life.

    Participatory insight to universal access

    Participatory methods can, in principle, be applied for a variety of purposes to gain insight into the context of use of an artefact or the way in which tasks are performed by end users. Consequently, participatory methods are equally valid for problem identification, clarification of the issues relevant to a particular topic, but also for the detailed evaluation of devices, products and interfaces. Typically, participatory methods facilitate rich empirical, data sets useful for design teams and evaluators. In our case, participatory met, hods have been used to facilitate access to medical data by patients at home. To this end, a variety of participatory approaches are available, the more important ones being: questionnaires, face-to-face or telephone interviews based on a formal questionnaire or on an interview guide, user trials, task analysis and group discussions such as brainstorming sessions or focus group meetings.
