Abstract

In this paper we describe the development and test of a futuristic health scenario that allows the seamless exchange of sensitive personal data. The scenario was used to elicit user attitudes and concerns in thirty-eight focus groups drawn from a representative population sample. Emergent themes are described in terms of firstly, those hygiene factors that act as precursors to successful engagement with the technology, secondly, those motivators that would drive acceptance and thirdly, longer-term societal impact.

Additional Information:	Proceedings of HCI 2008 (Vol. 2) contain the short papers selected for presentation at HCI 2008, the 22nd annual conference of Interaction, a specialist group of BCS. The proceedings explore the full range of areas of interest to HCI researchers and practitioners. They look at culture and the role of the digital in culture, the visual experience of users, the experience of those who need assistance with or by technology, issues of methods and how HCI research and practice is carried out. The papers in this volume include contributions from leading figures in research and business sectors and are of relevance to designers and evaluators of human-computer systems across industry, education, commerce, public policy and academia.
