Abstract

We have been studying how ordinary people use personal informatics technologies for several years. In this paper we briefly describe our early studies, which influenced our design decisions in a recent pilot study that included junior doctors in a UK hospital. We discuss a number of failures in compliance and data collection as well as lessons learned.
