Refinement of a Parent–Child Shared Asthma Management Mobile Health App: Human-Centered Design Study

Refinement of a Parent–Child Shared Asthma Management Mobile Health App: Human-Centered Design Study

A hallmark of HCD is design iteration that follows a cyclic as opposed to linear process (Figure 1). The core study team included a designer (QZ), a pediatric asthma clinician-scientist (JS), a UX researcher (EEC), and a senior HCD expert (JAK). This study followed the HCD process steps: research, ideate, design, evaluate, and implement to refine the IMPACT prototype and incorporate longitudinal engagement strategies [25,33].

Using Health Concept Surveying to Elicit Usable Evidence: Case Studies of a Novel Evaluation Methodology

Using Health Concept Surveying to Elicit Usable Evidence: Case Studies of a Novel Evaluation Methodology

Our Sinus Check example includes the following text: A smartphone app named Skin Check analyzes a picture of a mole to determine whether or not it is cancerous. To use the app, you are asked to take a picture of the mole so that it is clearly visible. The app guides you through taking a picture so that it can see the mole clearly and at a proper distance. Skin Check comes with your smartphone by default as part of a new mobile health initiative by [Phone Company].

Designing Asynchronous Remote Support for Behavioral Activation in Teenagers With Depression: Formative Study

Designing Asynchronous Remote Support for Behavioral Activation in Teenagers With Depression: Formative Study

For example, if a teen is rejected by a friend and subsequently experiences a low mood, a mood-directed behavior would be to isolate from all peers to avoid further rejection. Isolation from a broader group of peers would likely lead to negative consequences, such as worsening friendships and a lack of social contact. These negative consequences feedback in the teen’s environmental stress, low mood, and avoidant behaviors, ultimately resulting in a negative cycle of depression.

Communicating Bad News: Insights for the Design of Consumer Health Technologies

We note that evaluation measures for health information systems are heavily weighted toward traditional usability (eg, screen layout) and efficiency (eg, learning ability, cost-effectiveness, task completion time, and error rate) aspects [45,46], and they often neglect how the system supports patients’ emotional and mental states [47], though a recent study by Suh et al included emotional burden within their User Burden Scale for computing systems [48], and Kientz et al described considering emotional impact

User-Centered Design of Learn to Quit, a Smoking Cessation Smartphone App for People With Serious Mental Illness

User-Centered Design of Learn to Quit, a Smoking Cessation Smartphone App for People With Serious Mental Illness

To add to this challenge, providers indicated that both withdrawal symptoms and ongoing mental health symptoms were a common concern in their patients when discussing the possibility of quitting smoking (eg, triggering a psychotic event). Needing preparation to quit was also emphasized, arguing that patients would prefer a system that teaches them a set of skills for quitting, rather than a system that emphasizes setting up a quit date and monitoring maintenance.
