Abstract
We report the process used to create artefacts for self-reporting Parkinson’s Disease symptoms. Our premise was that a technology-based approach would provide participants with an effective, flexible and resilient technique. However, after testing four prototypes using Bluetooth, NFC and microcontrollers we accomplished almost full compliance and high acceptance using a paper diary to track between-day fluctuations over 12 weeks. This diary is tailored to patients’ condition, does not require any handwriting, allows for implicit reminders, provides recording flexibility and can be encoded automatically. We share five design implications for future Parkinson’s self-reporting artefacts: reduce participant completion demand, design to offset the effect of tremor on input, enable implicit reminders, design for positive and negative consequences of increased awareness of symptoms and consider the effects of handwritten notes in compliance, encoding burden and data quality.
