What kind of display would help my child explain their health information back to me?
This article examines how young transplant recipients and caregivers want kidney function information presented. Taking part in one task and assuming responsibility for a whole routine are different milestones for families to discuss.
Who was studied?
Young kidney transplant recipients and their caregivers taking part in user-centred design work.
Age / stage: Youth
Read with three questions
- What does the article establish about how young transplant recipients and caregivers want kidney function information presented?
- Whose feedback informed the prototypes, and what would need testing in everyday use?
- How closely does the population described here match the family or setting you have in mind? The population to compare is young kidney transplant recipients and their caregivers taking part in user-centred design work.
Keep the limits in view
Participant feedback can guide design choices. It does not establish improved health outcomes or independent self-management after using the design.
