Investigating health management practices of individuals with diabetes

Mamykina, Lena, Mynatt, Elizabeth D., Kaufman, David R.·2006·Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Abstract

Chronic diseases, endemic in the rapidly aging population, are stretching the capacity of healthcare resources. Increasingly, individuals need to adopt proactive health attitudes and contribute to the management of their own health. We investigate existing diabetes self-management practices and ways in which reflection on prior actions impacts future lifestyle choices. The findings suggest that individuals generate and evaluate hypotheses regarding health implications of their actions. Thus, health-monitoring applications can assist individuals in making educated choices by facilitating discovery of correlations between their past actions and health states. Deployment of an early prototype of a health-monitoring application demonstrated the need for careful presentation techniques to promote more robust understanding and to avoid reinforcement of biases.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The application's ease and simplicity played an important role not only in enhancing motivation to use the application but also in the learning process because keeping track of performed actions in self-management activities is notoriously difficult.

    “Such characteristics played an important role not only in enhancing motivation to use the application but also in the learning process because “keeping track of performed actions in self-management activities is notoriously difficult” [48].”
  • Previous studies claim that a supporting tool for people with diabetes should facilitate the learning process based on personal experiences on top of necessary knowledge provided by diabetes education.

    “It is also claimed in previous studies that a supporting tool for people with diabetes should facilitate this learning process [48,58].”
  • Accuracy of data obtained by a sensor is critical in terms of giving proper credit to users.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
