This article describes the design process for a personal health application (PHA), including architecture, workflow, and functionality. Focus groups with people who have diabetes (n= 21) were conducted to ascertain their needs for a PHA. An Internet-based prototype was developed. Feedback was provided on the design, which led to changes in the PHA's presentation and function. The prototype PHA retrieves data for diabetes self-management from a personal health record, displays those data using gadgets in the consumer's iGoogle page, and makes the data available to a decision-support component that provides lifestyle-oriented advice. This PHA can provide the backbone for a decision support system that can bring together the cornerstones of diabetes self-management and integrate them into the life of the person with diabetes.
