Ahmad, Dina, Komninos, Andreas and Baillie, Lynne (2008): Future Mobile Health Systems: Designing Personal Mobile Applications to Assist Self Diagnosis. In: Proceedings of the HCI08 Conference on People and Computers XXII 2008. pp. 39-42.

“In Europe we live in an increasingly ageing society and solutions that help that ageing society to self care in context are a major goal for the EU and UK governments. Given this climate coupled with the fact that more than 80% of people aged 35-54 own a mobile phone (National Statistics, 2003) we believe that developing an easy to use application for self diagnosis may be of great use to this age group as they grow older. In our paper we present how we designed one such mobile application, targeted to 40-55 years olds with declining eyesight. Our system enables users to undertake self diagnosis via their mobile phone. This article reports our findings on the challenges of interface design for this particular age group.”

“Our work aims to address the problems of designing health assistant applications that run on mobile devices. We discuss the lessons learnt through the design of a mobile application for use by 45-55 year olds, who will be the likely users of such assistive technologies within the next decade.”
