Abstract

People living with chronic conditions are increasingly turning to digital technologies to track their health, coupled with reaching out to their peers to make sense of fluctuations in their health. However, there is a lack of appropriate technologies to support reflecting on shared personal health information. This paper reports on a study investigating how technology could be designed to support people living with HIV in reflecting on shared personal health information. Participants used two design provocations to reflect on changes in their health. Results showed that the design provocations encouraged reflection, with higher levels of reflection appearing to require greater use of peer information. We contribute a new understanding of how reflection on shared health information takes place and consider the next generation of digital technologies for people living with HIV.
