Background
Health journaling is a process recommended by 89% of doctors and is a way for patients to take ownership of their healthcare. It helps them see patterns, empowers patients with more knowledge to understand how to take better care for themselves, and the record-keeping creates more efficient discussions at medical appointments. Through digital processes, I wanted to explore how might we help patients keep track of their symptoms so they can make the most of their healthcare interactions?
My Responsibilities
• Interview users to look for opportunities to improve the experience within healthcare appointments
• Create and test a prototype to get a better understanding of how to make tracking simpler
Key Outcomes
• A sense that visually logging processes could increase speed by removing the need to know exact descriptive locations or names of body parts or organs
• Users saw the potential of data visualizations to better understand what impacts their health
• Users recognized the capability of shared health journaling for a family member to share the responsibility of care for that person
