Designing a personalized health dashboard: an interdisciplinary and participatory approach.
ABSTRACT
Background:
Within Dutch Child Health Care (CHC), a 360⁰CHILD-profile is designed to enhance prevention and transformation towards Personalized Health Care. From a personalized preventive perspective, it is of fundamental importance to timely identify children with emerging health problems interrelated to multiple health determinants. While digitalization of children’s health data is now realized, the accessibility of data is a major challenge for CHC-professionals, let alone for parents/youth. Therefore, the idea was initiated from CHC-practice to develop a novel approach to make relevant information accessible at a glance.
Objective:
This paper describes the stepwise development of a dashboard, as an example of using a design model to achieve visualization of a comprehensive overview of theoretically structured health data.
Methods:
Developmental process is based on the nested design model with involvement of relevant stakeholders in a real-life context. This model considers immediate upstream validation within four cascading design levels: Domein Problem and Data Characterization, Operation and Data Type Abstraction, Visual Encoding and Interaction Design, Algorithm Design. This model also includes impact oriented downstream validation, which can be initiated after delivering the prototype.
Results:
A comprehensible 360°CHILD-profile is developed: an online accessible visualization of CHC-data based on the theoretical concept of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. This dashboard provides caregivers and parents/youth with a holistic view on children’s health and “entry points” for preventive, individualized health plans.
Conclusions:
Describing this developmental process offers guidance on how to utilize the nested design model within a health care context.
