Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to establish a foundation for participatory design (PD) between IT professionals and people with chronic diseases resulting in IT-supported compensation in daily life. This paper presents results from a qualitative study working on understanding everyday life with diabetes. The participants in the study are eight families with one or more diabetic members. The paper reports on their lives with the condition based on interviews and 'reflective probes' from the families. The analysis outlines perspectives, activities, locations and information related to daily life with diabetes. Design implications are in line with the term 'design for more' a central prerequisite for working with IT-support for diabetes providing an ambient perspective to technology assisted living.
