移动技术是提供健康行为干预措施的有用平台。然而，在为移动健康 (mHealth) 应用程序的设计创建严格且标准化的流程方面却几乎没有做任何工作。该项目旨在探索使用信息系统研究 (ISR) 框架作为移动医疗应用程序设计的指南。我们的工作以 ISR 框架为指导，该框架由 3 个周期组成：相关性、严谨性和设计。在相关性周期中，我们与 33 个目标最终用户进行了 5 个焦点小组讨论。在严格周期中，我们进行了审查，以确定基于技术的干预措施，以满足目标人群的健康预防需求。在 ISR 设计周期中，我们采用可用性评估方法来迭代开发和完善移动医疗应用程序的模型。通过迭代过程，我们确定了使用移动医疗技术预防高危 MSM 的艾滋病毒的障碍和促进因素，开发了“用例”并确定了相关的功能内容和功能，以纳入设计文档中以指导未来的应用程序开发。我们的工作结果支持使用 ISR 框架作为设计未来移动医疗应用程序的指南。这项工作的结果提供了以用户为中心的设计和系统开发的详细描述，对于那些冒险进入基于技术的干预工作领域的人具有启发价值。这项研究的结果支持使用 ISR 框架作为未来移动医疗 (mHealth) 应用程序开发的指南。使用 ISR 框架对于设计包含最终用户设计偏好的移动应用程序来说是一种潜在有用的方法。
Mobile technologies are a useful platform for the delivery of health behavior interventions. Yet little work has been done to create a rigorous and standardized process for the design of mobile health (mHealth) apps. This project sought to explore the use of the Information Systems Research (ISR) framework as guide for the design of mHealth apps. Our work was guided by the ISR framework which is comprised of 3 cycles: Relevance, Rigor and Design. In the Relevance cycle, we conducted 5 focus groups with 33 targeted end-users. In the Rigor cycle, we performed a review to identify technology-based interventions for meeting the health prevention needs of our target population. In the ISR Design Cycle, we employed usability evaluation methods to iteratively develop and refine mock-ups for a mHealth app. Through an iterative process, we identified barriers and facilitators to the use of mHealth technology for HIV prevention for high-risk MSM, developed ‘use cases’ and identified relevant functional content and features for inclusion in a design document to guide future app development. Findings from our work support the use of the ISR framework as a guide for designing future mHealth apps. Results from this work provide detailed descriptions of the user-centered design and system development and have heuristic value for those venturing into the area of technology-based intervention work. Findings from this study support the use of the ISR framework as a guide for future mobile health (mHealth) app development. Use of the ISR framework is a potentially useful approach for the design of a mobile app that incorporates end-users’ design preferences.
