Spinal Cord Injury/Disease

In this project, we conducted a series of ethnographically-based studies to understand how people with spinal cord injury/disease and their caregivers could fruitfully use pervasive environments including sensors. We are in the midst of designing and constructing a system, Data Checkers, that allows patients to control for themselves the release of data to other caregivers and care team members.
