Symptom Tracking for Chronic/Complex Illness
Tracking symptoms is important for many health conditions, but for those with chronic and complex illnesses, it can mean the difference between effective and ineffective treatments. Along with my collaborators Sasha Spala and Anna Sheaffer, both PhD students at Tufts University, we conducted a short research project for the course HCI for Disability, focusing on redesigning symptom trackers to work for those with complex health conditions. We collected survey data to create a design (see below), and evaluated its effectiveness via user interviews. If you’d like a demo of the iOS app prototype we created, reach out!
