    Guidelines to Incorporate a Clinician User Experience (UX) into the Design of Patient-Operated mHealth
    (ACM, 2017-05) Tunnell, Harry; Faiola, Anthony; Bolchini, Davide; Human-Centered Computing, School of Informatics and Computing
    This interactivity demonstration paper highlights how a patient-operated mHealth solution can be designed to improve clinician understanding of a patient's health status during a first face-to-face encounter. Patients can use smartphones to retrieve difficult-to-recall-from memory personal health information. This provides an opportunity to improve patient-clinician collaboration. To explore this idea, a mixed method study with 12 clinicians in a simulated encounter was conducted. A smartphone personal health record was prototyped and used for an experimental study. Communication, efficiency, and effectiveness was improved for clinicians who experienced the prototype. Study outcomes included a validated set of design guidelines for mHealth tools to support better patient-clinician communication.
