Adolescent and Caregiver use of a Tethered Personal Health Record System.
Authors: Hong MK, Wilcox L, Feustel C, Wasileski-Masker K, Olson TA, Simoneaux SF Abstract Supporting adolescent patient engagement in care is an important yet underexplored topic in consumer health informatics. Personal Health Records (PHRs) show potential, but designing PHR systems to accommodate both emerging adults and their parents is challenging. We conducted a mixed-methods study with teenage adolescent patients (ages 13-17) with cancer and blood disorders, and their parents, to investigate their experiences with My-Chart, a tethered PHR system. Through analyses of usage logs and independently-conducted surv...

Migrating from One Comprehensive Commercial EHR to Another: Perceptions of Front-line Clinicians and Staff.
Authors: Reynolds TL, Clay B, Rudkin SE, Beckham S, Karimi DP, Glandorf J, Patton P, Longhurst C, Zheng K Abstract As healthcare organizations continue to grow and evolve, migrations from one commercial electronic health record (EHR) system to another are likely to become more common. However, little is known about front-line clinicians' and staff's perceptions of such changes. Our study addresses this gap through an organization-wide survey of employees immediately prior to the transition to a new commercial EHR. We found that almost all front-line clinicians and staff were aware of the upcoming migration, and tha...

Applying the Concept of Nutrient-Profiling to Promote Healthy Eating and Raise Individuals' Awareness of the Nutritional Quality of their Food.
This study aims to design a dietary tool to promote a nutrient-dense diet. To this end, we applied the concept of Nutrient Profiling to classify food recipes based on their nutritional quality, by developing the Intelligent Nutrition Engine. This engine undergirds our mobile-based application, Easy Nutrition, which was designed to enable users to find food recipes and understand their nutritional quality. To evaluate the usability and understandability of our approach, we piloted the prototype of Easy Nutrition on 24 consumers. The results indicate that our approach provides a sustainable avenue to help consumers manage th...

SMART-MEDS: Development of a Medication Adherence App for Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients based on a Gamified Behaviour Change Model.
Authors: Ehrler F, Gschwind L, Meyer P, Christian L, Blondon K Abstract Patient adherence to medications is crucial for reducing cardiovascular risk after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Although causes for low adherence are diverse, forgetfulness and lack of awareness about treatment importance are accountable for many cases. As a result, medication reminder apps have attempted to tackle this problem. In our work, we present the development of an app with gamification mechanisms to foster adherence and to support the behavior change processes of the Health Access Process Approach (HAPA) theoretical framework. To...

The Use of General Health Apps Among Users with Specific Conditions: Why College Women with Disordered Eating Adopt Food Diary Apps.
Authors: Eikey EV, Booth KM, Chen Y, Zheng K Abstract There is a myriad of mobile health applications designed to address a variety of health conditions. While these apps hold significant promise for the management of these conditions, users sometimes turn to general health apps, rather than those designed with their specific condition in mind, which can lead to unmet needs and worsened conditions. We outline one example by focusing on college women with disordered eating behaviors and their use of general food diary apps, rather than eating disorder-specific apps. We investigate the types of health apps they use a...

An evaluation of mHealth adoption and health self-management in emerging adulthood.
This study offers a description of factors that predict the adoption of mobile health technologies (mHealth) and their application for health self-management in emerging adults. Primary data collection occurred at three diverse postsecondary educational institutions (N= 1,329). The analysis used a logistic regression to identify predictors of mHealth adoption. Descriptive analyses are presented on health self-management applications and perceived ease of use and effectiveness. Use of mHealth was high in respondents (58.5%). Factors associated with increased likelihood of mHealth adoption included being female, overweight o...

Usability preferences of people living with cystic fibrosis about a lung transplant education website
AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2023 Apr 29;2022:922-931. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTPeople living with cystic fibrosis (CF) need educational resources about lung transplant prior to engaging in shared decision making with their medical providers. We conducted a usability study to elicit preferences of people living with CF about how didactic and experiential content could be used in an educational resource to learn about lung transplant. We created two prototypes with different design features that participants used in a scenario-based task and evaluated using the System Usability Scale. We interviewed participants and analyzed the da...
