Using qualitative methods to create a home health web application user interface for patients with low computer proficiency.
The researchers undertook a multi-phased approach to create a consumer-facing home health web application in Rhode Island. This included reviewing the evidence base to identify design recommendations and then creating a paper prototype and wireframe. They performed qualitative research to iteratively test their proposed user interface with two user groups, home health consumers and hospital case managers and t]hen refined their design to create the final web application.

vizHOME--a context-based home assessment: preliminary implications for informatics.
The focus of this paper is on the first phase of the vizHOME study, specifically on the exploration and documentation of the individual’s performance of self-management tasks including such things as medication management and use of a monitoring device. The researchers learned from the participants that while the tools may perform satisfactorily in usability assessment, they may not meet the needs of many users.
