Abstract

Diaries are used to record aspects of lives --- activities, events, experiences, feelings, thoughts, and physiological measures. Smart diaries can reduce the user's burden by automatically registering some of these aspects. Existing systems have two weaknesses: (a) they are not extensible, and (b) their design is not theory-driven. We introduce LifeMaps, a cloud-based automated, extensible, theory-driven smart diary. Because it is inspired by theory, "The Deep Structures of Lives," it organizes data to conform to the way we experience our lives and may lead a deeper understanding of lives.

Recruiting Older Adults in the Wild: Reflections on Challenges and Lessons Learned from Research Experience
PervasiveHealth '18: Proceedings of the 12th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare

It is important to understand the older adults prior to the design process. The understanding can better facilitate design conversations between the researchers and the older adults. In this paper, we discussed our experiences of building a relationship ...

Looking for the unusual: how older adults utilize self-tracking techniques for health management
PervasiveHealth '16: Proceedings of the 10th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare

Self-tracking applications for health management have become popular both in industry and in academia. Half of older adults in the U.S. track health indicators, but they rarely use technology for that purpose. We conduct a qualitative study to ...
