This three-year $563,797 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program aims to design health data-tracking technologies tailored for children. Led by the University of California Irvine, the award supports examining challenges in tracking children's health data through smartwatches, fitness bands, and patient monitors.
The project consists of three stages. First, interviews will study data literacy, tracking experiences, and technology use among children, parents, and healthcare providers regarding general wellness, asthma, and rare diseases. Second, co-design work will explore parental and child data needs, workflows, and representations. Third, stakeholders will experience and provide feedback on prototype designs in real-world settings. Results will inform further improving designs to better serve children of varying ages, health conditions, and collaboration needs between children, parents, and providers. Outcomes will disseminate broadly to patient and health organizations.
