[Access Lunch] Accessibility Lunch - 02/26

[Peya Mowar]

Hi everyone, We have Tamanna Motahar, a PhD candidate at the University of  
Utah, joining us in-person tomorrow at noon in NSH 4201. Please find the  
talk abstract below: Abstract: Spinal Cord Injury is one of the leading  
causes of severe motor disability, resulting in abrupt and dramatic changes  
in an individual's life and mobility, requiring the use of a power  
wheelchair, and adopting new health activities. With their reduced  
functional ability, these health activities are complex, and difficult to  
track; however, well-informed and tailored technological solutions can  
support them. Although personal informatics or self-tracking technologies,  
such as activity trackers and food trackers, enable individuals to monitor  
and track multiple aspects of their lives, little is known about the needs  
and potential of these tools for this particular population. Unfortunately,  
contemporary PI research focuses on people with motor disabilities as a  
monolithic group, failing to distinguish the needs of people with severe  
impairments. My research aims to bridge this gap by employing a  
user-centric lens to expand PI research by answering the question: How can  
personal informatics research address the needs, challenges, and  
expectations of people with a severe motor disability? My work provides an  
understanding of the current state of PI research for people with motor  
disabilities, and details the factors to consider when designing a PI  
system that addresses the needs of this highly underrepresented group. Best  
regards, Peya
