Existing evidence supports the many benefits of physical activity (PA) in breast cancer survival. However, few survivors adhere to recommended levels activity. A PA coaching app that provides personalized feedback, guidance, and motivation user might have potential engage these individuals a more active lifestyle, line with general recommendations. To develop successful tool, it is important involve end users design process make theoretically grounded decisions.This study aimed execute early...
Patient-generated data from commercially available self-tracking devices has the potential to enhance support for people transitioning hospitalization self-care. However, studies have revealed significant barriers routine use of such in clinical settings. This paper explores patient-generated context cardiac rehabilitation. We describe a two-stage investigation: (1) co-design study with clinicians design system that combines objective and subjective patient data; (2) an 18-week field-study...
Following multimedia lectures in mainstream classrooms is challenging for deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) students, even when provided with accessibility services. Due to multiple visual sources of information (e.g. teacher, slides, interpreter), these students struggle divide their attention among several simultaneous sources, which may result missing important parts the lecture; as a result, access limited comparison hearing peers, having negative effect academic achievements. In this paper...
An acute cardiac incident is a life-changing event that often necessitates surgery. Although surgery has high success rates, rehabilitation, behavioral changes, and self-care are critical to long-term health. Recent systematic reviews have highlighted the potential of technology in this area; however, significant shortcomings also been identified, particularly with regard patient experience.This study aims improve future systems explore experiences patients during key phases after...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Dealing with cardiovascular disease is challenging, and people often struggle to follow rehabilitation self-management programs. Several systematic reviews have explored quantitative evidence on the potential of digital interventions support cardiac (CR) self-management. However, although promising, regarding effectiveness uptake existing mixed. This paper takes a different but complementary approach, focusing qualitative data related people’s experiences...
