1. 1. How are Mobile Medical Technologies Really Used In the Wild? Aisling (ASH-Ling) Ann OKane BASc MSc PEng 4th Year PhD Student in Human-Computer Interaction UCL Interaction Centre Department of Computer Science University College London
2. 2. Devices used for the self-management of medical conditions that have to be carried on the person Increasingly relied on as healthcare moves out of clinical settings, especially for chronic condition self-care What are Mobile Medical Devices?

3. 3. Devices include blood glucose monitors, insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, mobile apps, etc. These mobile devices are brought with people throughout their day, every day Type 1 Diabetes Technology Images from http://bit.ly/1RQH0Mo, http://bit.ly/1NsNGQi, http://bit.ly/1U54IbG, and http://yhoo.it/1NvlNq6
4. 4. Everyday Type 1 Diabetes Tech Use They are used all day, everyday and everywhere: at work, in the car, and in the bar!
5. 5. Situated Qualitative Studies of T1D Tech Images from orkposters.com and flickr user brianjmatis Conducted contextual interviews in coffee shops and cafes, collected diary accounts of use, and observed a meet-up in a hotel bar with 41 people with Type 1 Diabetes
6. 6. Context Influences Use and Adoption
7. 7. Despite health concerns, adults choose when, where, and how to perform self-care based on context and user experience Everyday life influences how mobile medical devices are adopted, carried and used Using situated studies can uncover real world use, non-use, and misuse to influence design Engaging with industry partners in the UK and beyond to implement these studies more broadly The Potential of Situated Studies
8. 8. Future Research: Bespoke Technologies EPSRC Doctoral Prize at UCL leverage DIY hacker advances and disseminate bespoke devices to T1D non-hackers, safely
