Collaborative design for remote monitoring tools

To leverage wearable sensor data (multivariate and time oriented) in a web application that:

• Facilitates remote consultations with patients, or
  • Remotely monitors patient health, or
  • Remotely monitors athlete health and recovery

Such a data analytics interface has potential to be useful in many clinical areas, and as such, we leverage the great diversity of interests of the members of DSI-Health 

To empower domain-expert users (DSI-Health community members) to engage with their patients’/athletes’ wearables data,
to remotely monitor health and recovery of patients/athletes. Our project progress comes from: 

• DSI-Health community workshops
• Focus group findings
• Artifact validation-testing by usability experts
• Artifact user-testing by focus group of relevant end-users

Our collaborating domain experts include: specialists in mental health, physical rehabilitation, multiple sclerosis, athletics, long-covid, and clinical implementation researchers 

Through focus groups with our collaborators within DSI-Health, we work to:

• Design an appropriate interactive application for remote monitoring of athletes and/or of patients
• Establish the necessary user workflows, tasks, and tool requirements necessary to make remote monitoring tooling capable of supporting clinician needs across the healthcare domain
• Publish the specifications of such a tool in a top-tier venue within the community (e.g., JAMIA, IEEE VIS, ACM CHI)
• Open a channel for collaboration with clinical stakeholders that allows for the implementation of such a tool in their specific research domain for in-the-wild validation
