T1  - Designing an e-service for stroke patients - How can visualization support the management of the individual care process?
N2  - Background: An important factor in approaching the challenges of chronic diseases, requiring long-term management and high costs, is the active participation of the patient in the care process. Objectives: Facing the problem of lacking patient-tailored, comprehensive health management software, the aim of this thesis is to generate ideas for a graphical user interface (GUI) to support stroke patients in the management of their individual care process. The objectives are to prototype a GUI for a patient e-service and to evaluate its usefulness and usability with stroke patients. Methods: A scenario-based, user-centered design method was used to envision ideas for the user interface. Static prototypes were realized with the tool Pencil and for the implementation of a dynamic prototype web programming techniques were used. For the evaluation of the prototypes the methods of focus group discussion and cooperative evaluation were applied. Results: The situation of a representative stroke patient and his interaction with the e-service were described in scenarios. Graphical user interfaces of the involved system views were derived from the scenarios and illustrated with static wireframe prototypes. A welcome screen, a care process timeline overview, and a diary with data sharing functionality were designed. The diary functionality was further examined by implementing a prototypical web application. During the evaluation, feedback for further improvements was gathered, and assumptions about the user information and functionality needs could be verified. Conclusion: The developed prototypes represent a suitable graphical user interface and visualizations to support stroke patients in the management of their care process. An overview of appointments on the welcome screen, a diary to document and monitor health, a timeline overview of all time-related health information and a selected sharing functionality were found to be important features of a personal health system for stroke patients.
