A closer look at health information seeking by older adults and involved family and friends: design considerations for health information technologies.
Older adults are the largest consumers of healthcare. As part of a broader study of personal health information management (PHIM), the investigators interviewed older adults in King County, Washington, and their involved family and friends (FF), regarding health information (HI) sources they seek and utilize. The authors indicated that design considerations include: facilitating access to quality provider-vetted HI, incorporating older adults and FF in the design process, and creating shared spaces for communication of HI among older adults, FF, and providers.
