It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

Laverman, M., Schonk, J. H. M., Boog, P. J. M. van der and Neerincx, M. A. (2010): Personalized and contextualized information in self-management systems for chronically ill patients (PERISCOPE). In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 327-330.

Motivation -- It is becoming necessary to seriously consider self-management in the treatment of chronically ill patients. A number of self-management applications have already been developed, but an explicit theoretical model is lacking. The PERISCOPE-project aims to provide (1) a conceptual framework for self-management systems aimed at lifestyle changes, (2) guidelines for implementing personalization and contextualization to enhance self-management skills of chronically ill patients, and (3) an overview of how human factors influence the design and implementation of self-management systems. In our approach we pay particular regard to lifestyle changes. Research approach -- The conceptual framework for self-management systems will be constructed based on key literature and interviews with care professionals. The Situated Cognitive Engineering framework will guide the development of a prototype self-management system aimed at lifestyle changes and the formulation of guidelines for personalization and contextualization. Last, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be used to examine (1) the influence of human factors on personalization and contextualization and (2) the impact of personalization and contextualization on the self-management skills of patients. Findings -- We have thus far developed a conceptual framework for self-management systems. Take away message -- The development of a conceptual framework and the understanding of the influence of human factors and design principles on patients' lifestyle management will be of great benefit to the development and improvement of self-management systems.
