UI Innovations in Self-Care Software
Microsoft Healthvault and Google Health encourage users to enter their daily information for tracking purposes, whether it's a diabetic entering daily glucometer results or a fitness buff tracking weight and body fat. But for all but the most dedicated, browsing the website and manually entering data every day is simply more trouble than it's worth. The process of entering that data must be so natural that it becomes an automatic part of the user's day.
It's not a question of confusing UI or poorly designed UI - Google Health in particular is very straightforward in the way it allows users to enter this data.
When it comes to a solution that needs to track data daily, user needs simply go beyond what a software interface can offer.
