Designing For Positive Health Affect: Decoupling Negative Emotion And Health Monitoring Technologies, Tammy R. Toscos, Kay Connelly, Yvonne Rogers
Designing For Positive Health Affect: Decoupling Negative Emotion And Health Monitoring Technologies, Tammy R. Toscos, Kay Connelly, Yvonne Rogers
Tammy R Toscos
Through various health-focused technology projects, we discovered that the emotional response to technology was related to uptake and sustained use of health monitoring technologies. In this paper we present a case study of how we synthesized constructs of social cognitive theory, technology as experience, and diabetes management guidelines as a framework for making design recommendations for blood glucose monitoring technology that address the emotional response of users. We suggest applying this theoretical lens for design may help attend to emotional responses of users in an effort to decouple strong negative emotions that are paired to health monitoring technologies that provide …

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) are community based centers created to provide comprehensive primary and preventive care to individuals unable to access care in the commercial medical system (e.g. related to poverty, and/or race-ethnicity). The Affordable Care Act (ACA) proposes offering Medicaid coverage to many such individuals, thus, FQHCs should receive many new Medicaid enrollees. The ACA has triggered a number of new ideas to improve affordability, health status and patient experience, commonly known as the “triple aim.” These initiatives include quality incentive programs, payment reform, and the promotion of medical homes and accountable care organizations (ACOs). These are in …
Faculty And Librarian Collaboration In Online Instruction: Harnessing The Learning Management System, Shannon F. Johnson, Tammy R. Toscos
Faculty And Librarian Collaboration In Online Instruction: Harnessing The Learning Management System, Shannon F. Johnson, Tammy R. Toscos
Tammy R Toscos
Tammy Toscos, Nursing Informatics Professor, and Shannon Johnson, Health Sciences Librarian, will share their experiences harnessing the Learning Management System for information literacy instruction and how this has affected IL instruction delivery at IPFW. They will discuss their use of online technology to expand the traditional bibliographic instruction into new realms, increasing the number of students they reach and allowing for more in-depth instruction to take place.

Barriers To Physical Activity: A Study Of Self-Revelation In An Online Community., Tammy R. Toscos, Sunny Consolvo, David W. Mcdonald

The importance of regular physical activity to overall health has been well established, yet adults in the United States are leading increasingly sedentary lives. Research suggests that lowering perceived barriers to exercise is an effective strategy for encouraging physical activity. This article describes the top barriers that emerged from a qualitative analysis of message board traffic from a three-month healthy lifestyle intervention that promoted physical activity and healthy eating. The findings further elaborate known barriers to physical activity-two of which are not reported as key barriers in prior research-and illustrate the value of a grounded approach to studying health and …

Best Intentions: Health Monitoring Technology And Children., Tammy R. Toscos, Kay Connelly, Yvonne Rogers
Tammy R Toscos
In this paper we describe findings from two studies aimed at understanding how health monitoring technology affects the parent-child relationship, examining emotional response and barriers to using this type of technology. We present suggestions for the design of health monitoring technology intended to enhance self-care in children without creating parent-child conflict. Our recommendations integrate the study findings, developmental stage specific concerns, and prior HCI research aimed at children’s health.

Before You Write: Six Keys To Success – A Pilot Online Information Literacy Course For Graduate Nursing Students, Shannon F. Johnson, Tammy Toscos
Tammy R Toscos
In this article, the authors share their experiences with the creation and implementation of an online self-paced information literacy instruction for graduate students of nursing. Before You Write: Six Keys to success is a non-credit required online course attached to the Indiana University - Purdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW) graduate nursing program. The rationale behind the creation of the course was to help graduate students recognize areas where their information literacy skills may be lacking or have become outdated and provide them with tools to increase their proficiency, while still early in their first semester of the program. It consists …

OBJECTIVE: The study objective was to evaluate how the use of a pervasive blood glucose monitoring (BGM) technology relates to glycemic control, report of self-care behavior, and emotional response to BGM of children with type 1 diabetes and their parents. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Forty-eight children aged less than 12 years (mean 8.8 years) with type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned to one of two study groups, a control group (conventional care without technology) or an experimental group (conventional care with technology), and followed for 12 months. Families in the experimental group were given the Automated Diabetes Management System (ADMS), …
