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）：本提案侧重于研究确定开发MoPAD的可行性，MoPAD是一种糖尿病患者移动的计划和评估器械，是一种手持式（但独立于平台）以患者为中心的糖尿病（DM）管理工具。MoPAD将血糖结果与其他行为数据相结合，以提供可操作的DM管理信息的个性化交付，即，关注患者在当前环境下应该/不应该采取什么行动。这些个性化和以行为为中心的特点使MoPAD超越了目前的设备，这些设备只提供“电子日记”数据记录和数据分析，而不与行为影响联系起来。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。第一阶段研究旨在解决建立MoPAD的两个研究挑战。第一个挑战是设计一个MoPAD界面和交互方案，它将是可用的，可学习的，可适应的，并为患者提供可操作的信息。认知工程方法开发的调查员的组织将被用来确定需求，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，以弥补手持设备市场的巨大碎片和快速发展。将探讨重新使用申请组织为其他远程医疗应用开发的跨平台用户界面技术，作为解决这一问题的办法。MoPAD开发的工程问题也将在工程和建筑分析中得到解决。
