We report the results of a qualitative interview study that investigates care-giving practices and opportunities where technology can help with the endeavor. Based on interviews conducted over a 6-month period, we first identify four coordination categories that encapsulate the numerous activities involved with care-giving: task coordination, emotion coordination, life coordination, and multi-care coordination. In examining each of these coordination categories, we elaborate on the various personal challenges caregivers face while attending to patient care. Afterwards, we propose the circle of care: a visualization that illustrates typical patient care among a number of caregivers. Care-participants in this system devote effort in the form of physical care tasks (i.e. task investment) and emotion (i.e. emotional investment) to ensure a comfortable quality of life for the patient. In return, these care-participants are impacted by the progress of the patient's disease (i.e. life impact) based on their investment in the patient's care. Often, primary caregivers receive most of the kudos for their endeavors, to the point where secondary/tertiary care-participants are overlooked in their "invisible" efforts and question if they are caregivers at all. Both the coordination and the invisible work involved with care-giving call for design of consumer health informatics systems to center not only on patient-care, but also caregivers' health and well-being. Furthermore, these new systems should elucidate the invisible work of care-participants that qualify them as necessary caregivers of the patient. We believe such systems could result in healthier, more-manageable lives for caregivers and the patients they care for.
