SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON HUMAN-CENTERED INFORMATIC...

This book is an account of how I addressed the need for a smartphone app that would allow
someone with Type 1 diabetes to self-manage their condition. Its presentation highlights the
major features of the app's interface design. They include the selection of metaphors
appropriate to a user's need to form a mental model of the app  the importance of visible
context  the benefits of consistency  and considerations of a user's cognitive and perceptual
abilities. The latter is a key feature of the book. But the book is also about the design
process  and especially about the valuable contributions made by the many focus group meetings
in which design ideas were first presented to people with Type 1 diabetes. Their critique  and
sometimes their rejection  of interface ideas were crucial to the development of the app. I
hope this book will prove useful for teaching and design guidance.
