Alignment of concerns: a design rationale for patient participation in e-health

Tariq Osman Andersen, Jørgen P. Bansler, Finn Kensing, Jonas Moll, Karen Dam Nielsen

Abstract

E-health promises to enable and support active patient participation in chronic care. However, these fairly recent innovations are complicated matters and emphasize significant challenges, such as patients’ and clinicians’ different ways of conceptualizing disease and illness. Informed by insights from medical phenomenology and our own empirical work in telemonitoring and medical care of heart patients, we propose a design rationale for e-health systems conceptualized as the ‘alignment of concerns’.
