近年来，旨在治疗行为和心理健康挑战的现有电子健康干预措施的数量一直在增加。从保健提供者的角度来看，有必要在临床试验之前对电子保健干预措施进行评估，并将分配给实证研究的有限资源投资于最有前途的产品。在文献综述后，发现了一个差距，在电子保健干预措施的可用性相关的治疗过程中的病人的经验的评价原则。本文介绍了原则和概念的电子健康干预措施的评价开发过程中的第一步，概述了一般的评价准则，涉及到从医疗保健提供者的角度来看，临床情况。我们的方法是进行审查的文献，涉及检查电子健康干预措施。我们确定了与我们的研究最相关的文献，并将其用于定义与临床背景相关的指南。然后，我们编制了一份清单，我们发现是有用的电子健康干预产品的实证检验的适用性评估的药物。在治疗过程中确定了四个关键因素：（1）产品的易用性（即可用性），（2）电子健康干预与临床环境的兼容性，（3）存在使用户更容易参与治疗活动的工具，以及（4）提供可行的治疗途径。然后，我们使用这组算法对MyFitnessWeek进行了详细的检查。这项工作可以帮助为产品开发人员设置更高的标准，并告知医疗保健提供者首选的电子健康干预设计。
In recent years, the number of available eHealth interventions aimed at treating behavioral and mental health challenges has been growing. From the perspective of health care providers, there is a need for eHealth interventions to be evaluated prior to clinical trials and for the limited resources allocated to empirical research to be invested in the most promising products. Following a literature review, a gap was found in the availability of eHealth interventions evaluation principles related to the patient experience of the therapeutic process. This paper introduces principles and concepts for the evaluation of eHealth interventions developed as a first step in a process to outline general evaluation guidelines that relate to the clinical context from health care providers’ perspective. Our approach was to conduct a review of literature that relates to the examination of eHealth interventions. We identified the literature that was most relevant to our study and used it to define guidelines that relate to the clinical context. We then compiled a list of heuristics we found to be useful for the evaluation of eHealth intervention products’ suitability for empirical examination. Four heuristics were identified with respect to the therapeutic process: (1) the product’s ease of use (ie, usability), (2) the eHealth intervention’s compatibility with the clinical setting, (3) the presence of tools that make it easier for the user to engage in therapeutic activities, and (4) the provision of a feasible therapeutic pathway to growth. We then used this set of heuristics to conduct a detailed examination of MyFitnessPal. This line of work could help to set the bar higher for product developers and to inform health care providers about preferred eHealth intervention designs.
