DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal focuses on research to establish the feasibility of developing MoPAD, a Mobile Planning and Assessment device for Diabetics that is a hand-held (but platform independent) patient-centric tool for management of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). MoPAD combines glucometry results with other behavioral data to provide personalized delivery of DM management information that is actionable, i.e., focused on how what actions the patient should/should not take in the current context. These personalized and behaviorally focused characteristics move MoPAD a generation beyond current devices which provide only 'electronic diary' data-logging and data analysis without linkage to behavioral implications. More importantly, research suggests that these features will increase the patient's ability to understand and utilize the information in their own DM management. Phase I research is designed to address two research challenges to establishing MoPADs. The first challenge is designing a MoPAD interface and interaction scheme that will be usable, earnable, adaptable, and provide actionable information to the patient. Cognitive engineering methods developed at the investigator's organization will be used to identify requirements and translate them into an interface design. The second challenge is developing the MoPAD in a device-independent manner to compensate for the great fragmentation and rapid evolution in the hand-held device market. Reuse of cross-platform user interface technology developed by the applicant organization for other telemedicine applications will be explored as an approach to this problem. The engineering issues of MoPAD development will also be address in an engineering and architectural analysis.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案着重于研究开发MOPAD的可行性，这是一种用于糖尿病患者的移动计划和评估设备，这是一种手持式（但平台独立于平台）以患者为中心的患者工具，用于管理糖尿病（DM）。 MOPAD结合了血糖结果与其他行为数据，以提供可行的DM管理信息的个性化交付，即关注患者在当前情况下应/不应采取什么行动。这些个性化和以行为为中心的特征使MOPAD的一代人超出了当前设备，这些设备仅提供“电子日记”数据遗传和数据分析，而没有与行为影响联系在一起。更重要的是，研究表明，这些功能将提高患者在自己的DM管理中理解和利用信息的能力。第一阶段的研究旨在应对建立MOPAD的两个研究挑战。第一个挑战是设计一种MOPAD接口和交互计划，该方案将是可用，可赚钱，适应性的，并为患者提供可行的信息。研究人员组织开发的认知工程方法将用于识别需求并将其转化为界面设计。第二个挑战是以独立于设备的方式开发MOPAD，以补偿手持设备市场中的巨大碎片和快速发展。申请人组织为其他远程医疗应用程序开发的跨平台用户界面技术的重复使用将作为解决此问题的一种方法。 MOPAD开发的工程问题也将在工程和建筑分析中解决。
