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.
