Currently, due to factors such as reduced fertility rates, and increased numbers of women in the workforce, demand far outweighs supply. Many researchers have suggested that using information technology to bridge the caregiver-care recipient divide may be a promising means of addressing these issues. In this dissertation, we discuss the user-centered design of information technology tools for informal caregivers, specifically those that do not live in the same home as their older adult loved ones. 000002944 540__ $$fCC BY 000002944 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002944 650__ $$aMobile Applications$$040257 000002944 650__ $$aCaregivers$$029631 000002944 650__ $$aUser-Computer Interface$$027668 000002944 650__ $$aNeeds Assessment$$032368 000002944 650__ $$aMaterials Testing$$021873 000002944 650__ $$aSoftware Design$$026160 000002944 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002944 692__ $$aDepartment of Medical Informatics and Clinical Epidemiology$$041422 000002944 7001_ $$aWilliamson, Steven$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002944 7201_ $$aJimison, Holly$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002944 7201_ $$aGorman, Paul$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002944 8564_ $$99a6d81da-9c30-4d90-a975-1bde70a48acb$$s12603305$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2944/files/3716_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$260b092a1cd2a2668cf4bdd4fd6346721$$31 000002944 905__ $$a/rest/prod/1r/66/j1/38/1r66j138w 000002944 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2944$$pstudent-work 000002944 980__ $$aBiomedical Informatics
