Abstract
HCI research shows that cardiac patients dislike the passive role imposed by current home monitoring technology. In this paper, we explored how cardiac patients reacted to taking on a more active role of being a diagnostic agent. We developed and implemented a technology probe for these patients to report symptoms and other health metrics to health providers daily and studied their interaction over eight weeks. Our preliminary findings unfold three themes namely; patient reflection or obsession, patient roles and responsibility towards healthcare staff, and opportunities for nurses to use reports at the hospital in the process of collaborative interpretation. We add to earlier studies, by focusing on the daily, patient-initiated reporting and present topics for further studies.
