Background: Physical activity is an important aspect in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or type-2 diabetes. A monitoring and feedback tool combined guidance by a primary care provider might be successful method to enhance level physical these patients. As prerequisite for useful technology, it involve end-users design process from early stage. Objective: The aim this study was investigate user requirements stimulate activity, embedded practice. leading...
Background: Physical inactivity is a major public health problem. The It's LiFe! monitoring and feedback tool embedded in the Self-Management Support Program (SSP) an attempt to stimulate physical activity people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or type 2 diabetes treated primary care. Objective: Our aim was evaluate whether SSP combined use of leads more compared usual care additional effect using this on top SSP. Methods: This three-armed cluster randomised controlled trial....
Summary We tested the performance, acceptance and user satisfaction of a tool to stimulate physical activity. The consisted an accelerometer, smartphone app server/web application. Patients received feedback concerning their activity relative goal, which was set in dialogue with practice nurse. Nurses could monitor patients’ via website. Twenty patients COPD or type 2 diabetes used for three months, combined behaviour change counselling. Physical data were collected at server log file record...
User-centered design (UCD) methodologies can help take the needs and requirements of potential end-users into account during development innovative telecare products services. Understanding how members multidisciplinary teams experience UCD process might to gain insight factors that with different backgrounds consider critical services.The primary objective this study was explore experienced The secondary identify differences similarities in barriers facilitators they experienced.Twenty-five...
Physical activity is important for a healthy lifestyle. Although physical can delay complications and decrease the burden of disease, level patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) often far from optimal. To stimulate activity, monitoring feedback tool, consisting an accelerometer linked to smart phone webserver (It's LiFe! tool), counselling protocol practice nurses in primary care was developed (the Self-management Support Program). The...
The It's LiFe! monitoring and feedback tool embedded in primary care practice is promising helping people to achieve an active lifestyle. This new consists of activity monitor (the MOX), which connected a smartphone application Web service for patients providers. aim this study was develop thresholds the moderate vigorous categories examine concurrent validity MOX relation ActiGraph (Pensacola, FL) GT3X healthy participants chronically ill (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease type 2...
The systematic development of a counselling protocol in primary care combined with monitoring and feedback tool to support chronically ill patients achieve more active lifestyle. An iterative user-centred design method was used develop protocol: the Self-management Support Programme (SSP). needs preferences future users this were identified by analysing literature, through qualitative research, consulting an expert panel. is based on Five A's model. Practice nurses apply motivational...
The system informs the nurse about levels of physical activity in daily living patients who are using It's LiFe! tool. tool consists an accelerometer that transfers data to a smartphone, which is subsequently connected server. Nurses can monitor patients' via secured website. Physical measured minutes per day compared with pre-set goals, set dialogue patient.To examine user requirements and evaluate usability website, order increase probability effective use by nurses.The needs preferences...
An iterative user-centered design method was used to develop and test mobile technology (the It's LiFe! tool/monitor) embedded in primary care, followed by a three months feasibility study with 20 patients nurses. The tool consists of an accelerometer that transfers data app on Smartphone, which is subsequently connected server. Physical activity levels are measured minutes per day compared pre-set goals, set dialogue Nurses can monitor patients' physical via secured website. counseling...
ABSTRACT Background Implementation issues often impede the realisation of potential benefits technology in disability care organisations for people with disabilities. Therefore, we conducted a longitudinal study to gain insights into barriers and facilitators implementation. Methods From 2019 2022, data were collected using questionnaires interviews during 28 implementation projects 26 organisations. Results Barriers identified 9 themes subthemes. The main finances, organisations, internal...
Background: It is widely recognized that technologies have the potential to contribute high-quality long-term care for older people at home.Evidence from past RCTs partly confirms positive effects of technology use, although results are mixed and various questions remain unanswered.Objective: This study aimed demonstrate beneficial mid-and using aging-in-place on quality life (QoL) indicators like perceived safety, control, participation (ATQoL scale) other specific psychosocial outcomes...
Abstract Background Implementation issues often hinder reaching the potential of care technology to improve daily lives people with intellectual disabilities. We investigated barriers and facilitators implementing different modalities (app/social robot/sensor/domotics) in long‐term care. Method Care professionals ( N = 83) from 12 Dutch disability organisations completed a customised measurement instrument for determinants innovations (MIDI) questionnaire. Results Out 27 determinants, 20...
Introduction:Although physical activity has many positive effects on the quality of life and prognosis, it is very difficult for people with COPD or diabetes type 2 (DM2) to be sufficiently active.Unfortunately, long-term adherence several care interventions that try enhance level these generally low.Self-monitoring feedback integrated in technology might help promoting sustaining an active lifestyle, especially when part health services.As a prerequisite, useful successful intervention...
Technology has the potential to improve quality and efficiency of healthcare. It is important involve end users in design process new technologies interventions at an early stage enhance fit between user, technology, organization care. improves usability, prevents inclusion unnecessary features maximizes likelihood a successful adoption. This presentation gives example user involvement during development eHealth intervention stimulate physical activity people with type 2 diabetes or COPD...
