From: Home blood pressure data visualization for the management of hypertension: designing for patient and physician information needs

Design Phase

Confirmatory Phase

Representation of BP Data

Clinical Guidelines and Goal Ranges

Supplemental Features

Final Prototype Evaluations

How should home and clinic blood pressures be represented in graphic form?

How can we represent different blood pressure goals consistent with clinical guidelines?

What type of linguistic summarization would be useful to physicians and patients?

After we design these features, are they useful to patients and physicians?

How should home blood pressures be distinguished from clinic blood pressures?

Can we make goals customized to the individual patient?

How can the medication history be presented?

Does the visualization meet patient and physician information needs?

How can we effectively summarize numeric and graphic data?

How can we represent the rationale for individualized goals?

How should we include data about whether and when the home blood pressure monitor was validated against clinic blood pressure?

Will they encourage patient education, activation?

  

Should a hide/reveal function be used for home blood pressures?
