Background User-centered design (UCD) is a powerful framework for creating useful, easy-to-use, and satisfying mobile health (mHealth) apps. However, the literature seldom reports practical challenges of implementing UCD, particularly in field mHealth. Objective This study aims to characterize encountered propose strategies when UCD Methods Our multidisciplinary team implemented process evaluate app older adults with heart failure. During after this process, we documented they used or...
Abstract Patients with heart failure (HF) are commonly implanted cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices as part of their treatment. Presently, they cannot directly access the remote monitoring (RM) data generated from these devices, representing a missed opportunity for increased knowledge and engagement in care. However, electronic health sharing can create information overload issues both clinicians patients, some older patients may not be comfortable using technology (i.e.,...
Background Patients at risk for sudden cardiac death or having suffered arrest may receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). This device provides monitoring and therapy life-threatening heart rhythms. Remote of ICDs has decreased the time between abnormal rhythm events clinic follow-up. Currently, data transmitted from are reviewed stored by clinic, but patients do not have access to data. While connecting directly with their ICD potential enhance engagement in care improve...
Abstract Background This study presents findings on the impact of providing patients with their implantable device data patients’ satisfaction, engagement, healthcare utilization, and provider's perceptions this practice. Remote monitoring cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) improves patient care through timely delivery ICD to clinic. However, usually do not receive data. Providers are concerned that messaging could increase clinical workload. Methods To evaluate sharing summary portal, 128...
Heart failure (HF) is a growing public health problem in the United States. Implantable cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices reduce mortality and morbidity, remote monitoring (RM) of these improves outcomes. However, patient RM adherence low, due part to lack access their data. Providing data patients may increase engagement, but they must be appropriately tailored ensure understanding.The purpose this study was examine patients' experiences interacting with through novel digital...
When screen reader users need to back track pages re-find previously visited content, they are forced listen some portion of each unwanted page recognize it. This makes aural navigation inefficient, especially on large websites. To address this problem, we introduce topic- and list-based back: two strategies that provide browsing shortcuts by leveraging the conceptual structure content-rich Both manifested in Webtime, an accessible website history Web. A controlled study (N=10) conducted at...
Mobile web navigation requires highly-focused visual attention, which poses problems when it is inconvenient or distracting to continuously look at the screen (e.g., while walking). Aural interfaces support more eyes-free experiences, as users can primarily listen content and occasionally device. Yet, designing aural information architectures remains a challenge. Specifically, back inefficient in setting, forces each previous page retrieve desired content. This paper introduces topic-...
Existing web applications force users focus their visual attention on mobile devices while browsing content and services the go. To support eyes-free, experiences, designers can minimize interaction with a device by leveraging auditory channel. Whereas acoustic interfaces have proven to be effective in reducing attention, perplexing challenge is designing aural information architectures for web. address this problem, techniques remodel existing as linear, flows were introduced evaluated....
Heart failure (HF) is a complex chronic illness that affects the older adult population, requiring medical therapy and day-to-day management to prevent worsening exacerbation. Patients with HF are often treated cardiac implanted electronic devices (CIEDs) which capture diagnostic predictive parameters for HF. In this work we explore how patients would respond receiving data from an device, using fictitious scenario interview method 24 adults We applied uncertainty lens better understand face...
Data from remote monitoring (RM) of cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) currently are not accessible to patients despite demand. The typical RM report contains multiple pages data for trained technicians read and interpret requires a patient-centered approach be curated meet individual user needs.The purpose this study was understand which elements important gain design insights displaying meaningful in digital dashboard.Adults with cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)...
Safe prescribing of medications relies on drug safety alerts, but up to 96% such warnings are ignored by physicians. Prior research has proposed improvements the design with limited increase in adherence. We propose a different perspective: before re-designing we focus improving trust between physicians and computerized advice examining why their medical colleagues. To understand trusted among physicians, conducted three contextual inquiries hospital setting (22 participants), corroborated...
People use mobile web applications in a variety of contexts, typically on-the-go, while engaged other tasks, such as walking, jogging or driving. Conventional visual user interfaces are efficient for supporting quick scanning page, but they can easily cause distractions and accidents. This problem is intensified when information services richer highly structured content navigation architectures. To support graceful evolution systems from conventional to an aural experience, we introduce...
To support mobile, eyes-free web browsing, users can listen to ‘playlists’ of content— aural flows . Interacting with flows, however, requires select interface buttons, tethering visual attention the mobile device even when it is unsafe (e.g. while walking). This research extends interaction through simulated voice commands as a way reduce interaction. paper presents findings study 20 participants who browsed either only or by augmenting commands. Results suggest that using reduced time...
