  1. Asthma Management System Design Team Stuart Bartow  Raef Haggag Mara Hemminger Chase Ighani Daniel Lidor

  2. Introduction • What is Asthma? • Restricted airways • Intrinsic vs. extrinsic • Track via PEF and FEV readings • (e.g. via Peak Flow meter)

  3. Introduction • What products exist already? • Most show personal red/yellow/green zones • Most chart recent FEV/PEF readings • Some allow auto-loading of FEV/PEF values; very few allow both manual and auto-loading of FEV/PEF values • Few allow data manipulation • Few are portable • Few allow users to record/track asthma-attack info • Few track the presence of current or past triggers (e.g. pollen counts, temperature, humidity, other personal triggers)

  4. Introduction • Goals for AccuLung System • Provide a mobile resource for tracking asthma symptoms and history. • Provide a graphical view of user’s asthma history. • Track environmental conditions related to asthma triggers. • Help prevent imminent asthma attacks. • Application Requirements for AccuLung • PDA with color display • Wireless capabilities • Digital Peak Flow Meter with IR port

  5. Methodology • Researched existing products; ordered one • Interviewed asthmatics for design ideas • Designers created own designs • Conglomerated all these ideas into one master design • Implemented system • Performed usability tests with asthmatics • Changed design based on feedback • Received critique from professor and fellow classmates • Changed design based on feedback • Created website and project paper

  6. Live Project Tour

  7. Usability Procedure • Users: • 4 asthmatics and 5 non-asthmatics • Tasks: • Set up a patient profile • Record data from a Peak Expiratory Flow test • Check recent test result trends – graph results - compare • Save History, medications list and other information • View current environmental conditions • Pollen Count • Temperature • Humidity • Air Quality Index

  8. Usability Findings • Choose meaningful colors for navigation buttons and environment readings • Environment button is hard to locate • Empty ‘Enter Manually’ input box crashes the system • Plus designers found some input boxes (FEV, PEF) misleading • PEF/FEV graph values are too small to read; • Also add ‘Export’ button to PEF/FEV graph page • Add ‘personal best’ to home page’s PEF/FEV graph

  9. Choose Meaningful Colors: Navigation Buttons

  10. Choose Meaningful Colors: Environment Values

  11. Environment Button Hard to Locate

  12. Empty Input Box Causes Crash(Plus Designers Found Boxes Misleading)

  13. PEF/FEV Graph Values Too Small; Add ‘Export’ Button to Graph Page

  14. Add Personal Best to Graph

  15. Future Plans • Show more values on the same graph as PEF/FEV values: • Environmental Triggers • Medications • Multiple user tracking • Record asthma triggers • Develop physician version

  16. Acknowledgments • Dr. Shneiderman, course instructor • Adam Perer, course teaching assistant • Usability study participants • Dr. Scharfstein, professional point-of-contact • Fellow student project reviewers
