Chronologic: Tracking Stories of Illness in Chronic Care

Abstract

New consumer technologies give patients access to a wide range of health data outside the needed expertise of doctors. Self-tracking can help chronic illness patients take more control over their health, but the participation of doctors is important for interpreting tracked data accurately. Chronologic is a platform for patients and clinicians to track and manage chronic illness together, which illustrates how new patient-centered technologies can be responsibly utilized in clinical care.
