The authors report results from a qualitative study designed to investigate patients' use and perceptions of a diabetes eHealth system. 38 patients at a primary care practice in Northern England used a system for six months and were interviewed three times. Facilities provided were access to information; blood glucose upload and sharing; target setting; and communication with health practitioners and other patients. Results showed a variety of ‘frequency of use' and ‘features used' patterns, including non-use. Barriers included difficulty accepting diabetes, technical problems, and health or personal problems; facilitators included a positive approach to diabetes, being an established home computer user and having no additional health or personal problems. A model is presented showing how the system crosses the boundary between self-management and support seeking. The authors theorise that the system created boundary objects that take on different meanings for the actors that use them; these need to be meaningful, acceptable and engaging if the system is to be used. The authors conclude that eHealth systems would be improved by using iterative co-design and evaluation techniques to enable the capture of heterogeneous and unanticipated system use.

The use of mobile devices in telemedicine contributes to providing more effective and efficient remote healthcare in rural areas improving patients' life style and medical quality of service in this setting. The idea of creating mobile applications for this scenario led the authors to face important sociotechnical challenges in terms of innovation and design for resource-constrained environments. In this paper the authors present the outcomes of MANTRA (Mobile ANticoagulant TheRApy) Project developed for and evaluated in Venezuela. Through the evaluation of this project under those settings the authors developed an approach to mHealth in the remote management of chronic diseases by supporting the communication between doctors.

The authors discuss the feasibility of End-User Development (EUD) for non-information workers in the context of neurorehabilitation. The authors present a three-week long field deployment of TagTrainer, a system that enables therapists to create, share, and use exercises for arm-hand training with a tangible interactive tabletop application. The experiences suggest that therapists are capable and motivated to create content that is tailored to the training needs of their patients. Three key challenges are identified for enabling EUD practices in a clinical setting, which appear to have a broader relevance outside the specific domain of neurorehabilitation: more support for retrieval and sharing of existing solutions developed by end users, guiding end-user developers to ensure usability and software quality for their creations, and aligning with the revenue model of the organization.

Over the last decades, organisations have increasingly been more knowledge intensive and professional. Professional work generally has certain specific properties related to its working context. In this paper, a case study conducted within emergency healthcare, in which professional groups like for example physicians and nurses were the objects of study, will be presented. This paper explores different characteristics of these professions in the time and life critical work practice performed within emergency healthcare. The aim of this paper is partly to analyse specific characteristics of the healthcare professions and their use of information systems, partly to identify the implications and challenges that the professions face while using information systems. Characteristics related to a certain healthcare profession can be seen as having an impact on its professionals' attitudes and use of information systems, both on an individual and on a collective level. Some challenges in the use of information systems can also be due to how the development of the system and implementation processes are organised.
