Individuals with multiple chronic conditions (MCC) experience the overwhelming burden of treating MCC and frequently disagree with their providers on priorities for care. Aligning self-care with patients' values may improve healthcare for these patients. However, patients' values are not routinely discussed in clinical conversations and patients may not actively share this information with providers. In a qualitative field study, we interviewed 15 patients in their homes to investigate…

“You Can See the Connections”: Facilitating Visualization of Care Priorities in People Living with Multiple Chronic Health Conditions

Analysis of interviews with MCC participants showed that developing visualizations of connections between personal values, self-management tasks, and health conditions helped individuals make sense of connections relevant to their health and wellbeing.

Aligning Care with the Personal Values of Patients with Complex Care Needs.

Five themes common across the three groups that captured patients' views regarding values-aligned care focused on the importance of care teams exploring and acknowledging a patient's values, providing access to non-physician providers who have different perspectives on care delivery.

“Taking care of myself as long as I can”: How People with Dementia Configure Self-Management Systems

This discussion broadens the notion of self-management to include future-oriented, sociotechnical, self-determinate design and advocates for expanding the way technologists, designers, and HCI scholars view people with mild to moderate dementia to recognize them as inventive creators and capable actors in self- management.
