Abstract
Patients have six main temporal information needs, and they use a variety of information sources and reasoning strategies to meet these needs. They also confront important challenges in using temporal information. Based on our results, we offer design principles for systems that support patient and family member temporal reflection. We recommend that such technologies: (1) minimize user burden; (2) leverage existing dissemination channels; (3) include both clinical and non-clinical information; (4) meet informational, emotional and social needs; and (5) facilitate collaborative sense-making among patients and family.
