This chapter discusses the design and development process for ubicomp technologies for diabetes management. It describes three prototype applications, including the Continuous Health Awareness Program (CHAP), Mobile Access to Health Information (MAHI) and Diabetes Tagging (Di-Tag). It highlights the benefits of a continuous iterative approach to the design of novel computing technologies and their potential to illuminate various aspects of such complex and intricate activities as diabetes management.

Keywords:   ubicomp technologies, diabetes management, CHAP, MAHI, Diabetes Tagging, iterative approach, computing technologies
