With each word I shift deeper into catatonic noodle mode. "Blindness, loss of limb, kidney failure, heart attack, stroke." The result in both of these diseases is that the blood sugar goes too high." And in the end, over years, the pancreas often has trouble making insulin. That's a disease where the pancreas makes insulin but the body doesn't respond to it normally. When that happens, you can't make insulin, so to survive you have to take it by injection.
Type 1 occurs because your own immune system attacks your insulin producing cells. "Well," she begins, "there's type 1 and type 2. She asks me about my diet and fitness routine (used to see my trainer three times a week, currently see my refrigerator three times a night). Goland asks me about my family history (cancer galore). A normal count would be 6 percent, and many people are at 4 or 5 percent. The test reveals my A1C level to be 8.4 percent. But at nine weeks along, it's apparent that I was diabetic before ever becoming pregnant. Gestational diabetes usually strikes after the 20th week of pregnancy and disappears within an hour of giving birth. Annual Symposium proceedings / AMIA Symposium.To my total shock, the result of my hemoglobin A1C test indicates that my diabetes is not gestational. Annual Symposium proceedings / AMIA Symposium. The objective of this work is to contribute to a design framework so that participants with a wide range of skills can better manage their chronic illnesses. In addition, we found significant obstacles corresponding to perceptual-motoric skills, mental models of the system, and health literacy.
The study revealed dimensions of the interface that impeded optimal access to system resources. The evaluation included a cognitive walkthrough analysis to characterize task complexity and identify potential problems as well as field usability testing in patients' homes. This paper presents a multifaceted cognitive evaluation of the IDEATel diabetes education and telemedicine program. However, there are significant cognitive and usability barriers. The objective of this work is to contribute to a design framework so that participants with a wide range of skills can better manage their chronic illnesses.ĪB - Telemedicine has the potential to transcend geographic and socio-cultural barriers to the delivery of high quality health care to the medically underserved populations. N2 - Telemedicine has the potential to transcend geographic and socio-cultural barriers to the delivery of high quality health care to the medically underserved populations. T1 - A cognitive framework for understanding barriers to the productive use of a diabetes home telemedicine system.
