Now you see it! Using wearable cameras to gain insights into the lived experience of cardiovascular conditions.

Abstract

Wearable cameras offer an innovative way to discover new insights into the lived experience of people with cardiovascular conditions. Wearable cameras can be used alone or supplement more traditional research methods, such as interviews and participant observations. This paper provides an overview of the benefits of using wearable cameras for data collection and outlines some key considerations for researchers and clinicians interested in this method. We provide a case study describing a study design using wearable cameras and how the data were used.
