Managing Diabetes – Design Challenges
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Managing diabetes often calls for significant lifestyle and behavior change. Creating programs to help patients and family members make these changes requires a sophisticated understanding of how minds actually work. Diabetes management is a major cognitive design challenge so I am always on the look our for fact-based insights into how the minds of diabetics work.
Late last year the IIT Institute of Design held a Diabetes Innovation Fair including three sessions on platform strategies, persuasive technologies and wellness experience research. They just released videos of each session.
All three sessions offering valuable insights for cognitive designers.
