Description
Chelsea Ng and co-authors ran a user-centered design study in 2026 to build emotion-aware charts that help young kidney transplant patients and caregivers grasp kidney function values. Numbers such as creatinine are hard to act on, and visual analogies can connect abstract data to familiar ideas.
Two studies with youth recipients and caregivers first mapped which visual elements support patient needs, then shaped and tested a new display. Adding emotional framing aims to make trends feel meaningful rather than distant. Clearer self-management knowledge could help families spot change early and take part more fully in care.
