Q2. What do the authors think is the way to make a patient feel comfortable with the information they?
The authors believe the use of data from the patient’s health organization, local hospital or from their own doctors will be seen by patients as more relevant, thereby engendering greater trust in the information they receive.
Q3. How would a fully-operational system be useful to many patients?
Deployed in a clinic environment, a fully-operational system would be useful to many patients if access to EHR data for enough similar patients was available from local hospitals or health organizations.
Q4. How many participants included the main effect of the disease?
when participants were asked to identify the side effects, nineteen among the forty-one participants initially included the main effect of the disease (i.e. paralysis) as a side effect.
Q5. What could be done to improve the visual representation of the graph?
Other possible improvements include: changing the color of the graph from green to gray after the average onset of paralysis rather than at the time zero; moving the notification text-box to the side so that it does not overlap any part of the graph; animating the graph elements from left to right to give a sense of time continuity.
