The literature of home telehealth technology recommends that systems be designed to minimize their obtrusiveness to end users. However, this term is neither explicitly defined nor consistently used. This paper presents a definition of the concept of obtrusiveness. Within this definition, twenty-two categories of what may be perceived as obtrusive in home telehealth technology are proposed based on a review of the literature. These categories are grouped into eight dimensions. This effort represents an initial step toward developing measures of obtrusiveness associated with home telehealth technology. A validated and reliable instrument would allow for evaluation of individual applications as well as theory-building across applications.
家庭远程医疗技术方面的文献建议,系统设计应尽量减少对终端用户的干扰。然而,这个术语既没有被明确界定,也没有被一致使用。本文给出了干扰性概念的定义。在此定义范围内,基于文献综述,提出了家庭远程医疗技术中二十二类可能被视为具有干扰性的因素。这些类别被归纳为八个维度。这一工作是朝着开发与家庭远程医疗技术相关的干扰性测量方法迈出的第一步。一个经过验证且可靠的工具将有助于对单个应用进行评估,并推动跨应用的理论构建。
