Sociomaterial design for computer mediated social sensemaking
Year: 2013
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Telemonitoring healthcare solutions often struggle to provide the hoped for efficiency improvements in managing chronic illness because of the difficulty interpreting sensor data remotely. Computer-Mediated Social Sensemaking (CMSS) is an approach to solving this problem that leverages the patient's social network to supply the missing contextual detail so that remote doctors can make more accurate decisions. However, implementing CMSS solutions is difficult because users need to know who can see which information, and whether private and confidential information is adequately protected. In this paper, we wish to explore how socio-material design solutions might offer ways of making properties of a CMSS solution tangible to participants so that they can control and understand the implications of their participation.
