Paper Abstract:	Heart failure seems inevitable as we grow older; even younger people succumb to its cruel onset. Finding solutions has kept medical researchers continually chasing ways to limit its effects. Yet much can be done in a proactive sense for patients with heart conditions that can be used to support patients in becoming reflective, empowered and active self-carers themselves. In another project, Riegel, Jaarsma and Strömberg (2012) investigated individual patient-centered case-studies, to understand how to best encourage people to become confident self-carers (Aidemark, Askenäs, Martensson, & Strömberg, 2013). We have drawn on these earlier works to design and build a proof-of-concept for a participatory eLearning system to innovate quality eHealth education for self-care heart failure prevention. The first task has been to develop an evaluation framework that represents the need for individual extensibility of effective online human-computer interactive (HCI) healthcare. Our plans are to use this framework to compare other online healthcare systems research. Critical to the success of this educational information system (IS) are the diversity of the system-users' that are raised by the human-dimensions of online healthcare. HCI archetypes will guide the user as they journey through key healthcare scenarios. Our main aim with this project is to provide a participatory online self-managed healthy heartcare programme. This paper describes our first project objective which is to test our evaluation framework.
