The purpose of this paper is t o describe the studies undertaken in order to improve and simplify user interface (UI) design of a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) device, specifically the BL Healthcare Access Tablet. Current icon designs for UIs of the RPM devices are not well designed to reflect the needs, experiences and limitations of the end-user. Complex and unclear UIs and instructions make compliance with self-management schedules often poor. The issue of compliance, with the need for effective communication between chronic disease patients and healthcare professionals emphasize the need for the appropriate UI and communication technology. Improvement is made from the perspective of the user experience (UX) / UI redesign. Usability studies were conducted, followed by the UI redesign and icons design with the aim to address the UX design. A mobile application concept for the RPM is developed, that could be used on existing tablets and smartphones, thus eliminating the need for the current costly hardware.

This paper describes the studies undertaken in order to improve and simplify communication of health information for a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) devices, specifically the BL Healthcare Access Tablet, to older adults. Current icon and information design of the RPM devices are not well designed to reflect the needs, experiences and limitations of the older adults. In addition to this, compliance with self-management schedules is often poor due to complex and unclear instructions and information design. The issue of compliance, with the need for effective communication between chronic disease patients and healthcare professionals emphasize the need for the appropriate information design and c o m m u n i c a t i o n technology. Communication o f h e a l t h i n f o r m a t i o n w a s improved from the perspective of the user experience (UX) design and information design. For the purpose of Communication Design Quarterly 2.1 November 2013 7addressing the UX redesign, usability studies were conducted, followed by the information redesign and icons design. Although medical peripherals, such as an electronic thermometer, are required to measure the patient information, a mobile or tablet application can easily be used to record, send and view this data. A concept for the RPM mobile application is developed, that could be used on existing tablets and smartphones, thus eliminating the need for the current costly hardware.

“…In the education field, many works have been produced that recommend the usage of social web tools for freshmen education (Kamel-Boulos & Wheeler, 2007;Sandars & Schroter, 2007). In the working domain, the utility of Web 2.0 has been demonstrated in professional organization and collaboration (Schleyer et al, 2008;Eysenbach, 2008), volunteer recruitment (Seeman, 2008), patient self care and selfempowerment and research (Seeman, 2008), remote patient monitoring (Czejdo & Baszun, 2010) among other application areas. On the other hand, some researchers have also identified threats regarding the usage of Web 2.0 in the medical environment, such as unwanted behaviors in patients -for example, the avoid-ance of consultations with physicians (Hughes et al, 2008) or inaccurate online information (Seeman, 2008;Hughes et al, 2008).…”

Information technology and, more precisely, the internet represent challenges and opportunities for medicine. Technology-driven medicine has changed how practitioners perform their roles in and medical information systems have recently gained momentum as a proof-of-concept of the efficiency of new support-oriented technologies. Emerging applications combine sharing information with a social dimension. This paper presents DISMON (Disease Monitor), a system based on Semantic Technologies and Social Web (SW) to improve patient care for medical diagnosis in limited environments, namely, organizations. DISMON combines Web 2.0 capacities and SW to provide semantic descriptions of clinical symptoms, thereby facilitating diagnosis and helping to foresee diseases, giving useful information to the company and its employees to increase efficiency by means of the prevention of injuries and illnesses, resulting in a safety environment for workers.
