    Currently, care and rehabilitation practices move, to a greater extent, out of hospitals and into private homes. This accelerating trend challenges healthcare systems and their patients. Heterogeneous settings such as private homes together with the diverse nature of the inhabitants and their conditions create both technical and usability constraints and possibilities that can inform development of home-based care and rehabilitation applications. This workshop likes to investigate and discuss challenges, requirements and possibilities related to home-based healthcare applications, seen from a patient perspective. For example, how do we design for acceptance and engagement among patients and their families living with these systems on an everyday basis? How can barriers related to patient engagement, motivation and the feeling of 'being cared for' be handled by developed systems in heterogeneous environments such as private homes? Or, how can User Driven Innovation (UDI) and Participatory Design (PD) be used to create systems that are aesthetically and functionally accepted by persons subject to homebased healthcare and rehabilitation? This Workshop will be a one full-day workshop. We expect high-quality, non-previously published work to be submitted. Accepted papers should be four pages long, and formatted according to the format of the main conference, Pervasive Health 2010. The workshop will be a mix of traditional presentations and discussions. Position papers should include a statement of no longer than 200 words containing a research question related to the submitted paper. The research questions will be published on a discussion group on Facebook before the workshop to stimulate an on-line debate. The debate will inform the discussion at the workshop. The objective of the workshop is to bring together researchers, designers and practitioners - to present, discuss and contribute to a framework related to the design of pervasive healthcare, from a patient perspective. The workshop likes to contribute to the design of pervasive healthcare applications and systems for the home. The focus will be on studies and applications that discuss a home care environment and outcome of such work, addressing individually or in combination socio-technical aspects of healthcare in the home, technological aspects of healthcare in the home, and methodological challenges of how methods such as UDI and PD can be used to develop tools and applications that embrace the challenges related to motivation and engagement. Both theoretical investigations and work based on empirical efforts are welcome. Examples of successful and less successful projects alike are invited creating a framework related to the design of successful applications for self-managed care in private homes.

The paper discusses, on the basis of a field study, the involvement of family members in the care of elderly living independently in their own homes. It argues that it is prudent to include family members when designing pervasive healthcare for the home of the elderly. That is, it may be fruitful to include them as a category to be designed for as well as a group to be included in the participatory design process.

    • Pervasive healthcare in lived experience: Thinking beyond the home

      Research Article in PH-Home WORKSHOP (PervasiveHealth 2010)

Among them are an ageing population and a rising incidence of chronic health conditions. This situation requires a radical re-examination of how people manage their health and their healthcare in ways that challenge the relationship between people and healthcare services. Combining this observation with the opportunities afforded by pervasive information and communication technologies, we argue that design research should reach beyond simply locating devices and services to offer healthcare `in the home' and should examine this broader agenda. Rather than focussing design discourse on the specifics of one location, we should adopt a holistic view, beginning from people's lived experience. In this position paper we describe the User-Centred Healthcare Design (UCHD) project, 5-year collaboration between universities and NHS Trusts in South Yorkshire, UK. We suggest that new models of healthcare that re-define the institutional and social context of care are required if we are to meet the challenge of chronic illness. We describe our progress to date on the UCHD project, our commitment to placing patient experience at the centre of design, and our initial experiences of using an experience-based co-design method to improve outpatient services in a Sheffield hospital.

    • The self-management of chronic illnesses: Theories and technologies

      Research Article in PH-Home WORKSHOP (PervasiveHealth 2010)

We present the most acknowledged self-management theories and strategies, with an accent on those that can be relevant for supporting ICT solutions for Healthcare. Finally we review five projects about sensing technologies, mobile devices and ambient information displays for self-care and behavior change.
