Abstract
This paper discusses the results of a Work Domain Analysis (WDA) applied to the management of diabetes. The goal is to develop a conceptual framework to help diabetic patients understand and manage their disease. The results of the WDA will be used to design and implement mobile and desktop information displays that will be used by the patient and their health care team. This poses additional challenges in demonstrating if and how Ecological Interface Design can be used to design medical information displays on various mobile devices. When applied to this medical domain, the usefulness of the WDA to the design of medical information displays becomes restricted because of the complex, interconnected processes involved and the limited amount of sensor data available. Alternatively, the Work Domain representation can be used as a teaching resource or used to define requirements for future monitoring technologies.
