Abstract
Interest and research in personal health record (PHR) systems has recently increased, leading to the availability of a variety of PHR systems on the market that target everyone from the general public to disease‐specific patient groups. Few studies, have dealt with PHR needs of families. No studies have specifically targeted pregnant women regarding PHR systems design despite increased interest in health matters exhibited by pregnant women. In this project, we first developed five facets ‐ Appointment, Diary, Health Data, Finance, and Resources ‐ of personal health information organization and management. We then incorporated two time visualization tools ‐ calendars and timelines ‐ to provide access to information based on time and content. The Agileviews framework of Marchionini, Geisler and Brunk was adapted to structure agile, multiple point access to information in the interface designs. The result is three distinct interface prototypes of the PregHeR system: Calendar View, Timeline I, and Timeline II. This project adds to current research in PHR systems design through the organization of information into content‐based facets and by emphasizing personal user needs in the design of personal health record systems interfaces.
