Rethinking the Technology User Model for Health
The technology user model needs to evolve and go beyond the mobile executive if mobile devices will find a fit in people's lives. What resources are there out there to think about user-models? Some that we have discussed:
peer-to-peer disease management
cognitive outsourcing
self-care
citizen public health
adherence tool (top down)
I think we should think through these and build forecasts/scenarios around these. We should look at new i-phone apps and decipher the user-model they used.
