Short Paper: Evaluating a graphical interface of patient smartwatch data to integrate with electronic health records
ABSTRACT
Background:
Wearable technology, such as smartwatches, are able to capture valuable patient-generated data and can help inform patient care. Electronic health records are a logical and practical platform to include such data, but it is necessary to evaluate the way the data is presented and visualized.
Objective:
The aim of this study is to evaluate a graphical interface that displays patient data from a smartwatch, mimicking the integration within the environment of electronic health records.
Methods:
Twelve health care professionals evaluated a simulated interface using a usability scale questionnaire, testing the clarity of the interface, colors, usefulness of information, navigation, and the readability of text.
Results:
All aspects of the interface received satisfactory scores, with the majority of participants ranking elements of the interface in the positive range. The highest rated features of the interface were the quick turnaround times (7.1/8.0), readability of the text (6.8/8.0), and the use of terminology/abbreviations (6.75/8.0).
Conclusions:
Collaborating with health care professionals to develop and refine a graphical interface for patients’ smartwatch data revealed that key elements of the interface were acceptable. The implementation of smartwatch and other mobile data within electronic health records should consider the opinions of key stakeholders as development progresses.
