Health Status and Prospective PHR Use.

This poster reports a study that combines qualitative and quantitative approaches to investigate the effect of health status on user needs in Personal Health Records applications. Results show distinct user differences according to health status and that being well, unwell, or disabled will have an influence on users needs in relation to a PHR. In this taxonomy, users are classified according to technology preferences, interoperability and portability needs, and privacy and security concerns.
