Abstract :
The goal of aging in place is to allow seniors to remain in the environment of their choice with supportive services as needed, helping them attain independent living at old age. In TigerPlace, a retirement community helps residents in `aging in place´. The senior residents´ medical records and telemedicine data are stored in separate systems. Date-time stamped sensor data collected from their daily activities is also stored but not linked with their health records. Employing a human-centered evaluation framework to facilitate the decision making process, we conducted task and functional analyses, which provide descriptions of user characteristics, required functionality and basic tasks for an effective relational data representation. In this paper, we report the preliminary results from the above analyses, and a few prototypes resulting from the human-centered integrated display of health data. This project aims to offer a holistic and comprehensive view of all available scattered health information of the residents through a single interface that could add efficiency to the clinical decision making process.
