Preferences for Mobile App Features to Support People Living With Chronic Heart Diseases: Discrete Choice Study

Preferences for Mobile App Features to Support People Living With Chronic Heart Diseases: Discrete Choice Study

Aligning technology with user preferences increases the probability that intended populations adopt and enjoy its use [15]. Therefore, understanding user preferences is imperative for the successful implementation and sustained use of digital health interventions. There are numerous methods used to elicit preferences in health preference research.

Trustworthiness of Web-Based Pharmacy Apps in Pakistan Based on the Mobile App Rating Scale: Content Analysis and Quality Evaluation

Trustworthiness of Web-Based Pharmacy Apps in Pakistan Based on the Mobile App Rating Scale: Content Analysis and Quality Evaluation

The MARS approach, as documented by Stoyanov et al [14], is regarded as a user-friendly, straightforward, and coherent instrument that is highly regarded for its reliability due to its endorsement by skilled technicians and health care experts. This scale enables a comprehensive analysis that encompasses several disciplines and is intended for the assessment of health care apps. It consists of 5 domains that encompass the key factors necessary for a thorough evaluation.

User Perceptions of E-Cigarette Cessation Apps: Content Analysis of App Reviews

User Perceptions of E-Cigarette Cessation Apps: Content Analysis of App Reviews

Furthermore, a persistent gap in the vaping cessation literature is the user experience, which is critical to understanding why some apps succeed and others fail. One aspect of apps that is often overlooked in cessation research are user reviews, which hold valuable information about user experiences [18,19]. Studying reviews helps to understand the target audience of these apps and what features of the apps contribute to a positive or negative experience [18].

User Experience With a Personalized mHealth Service for Physical Activity Promotion in University Students: Mixed Methods Study

User Experience With a Personalized mHealth Service for Physical Activity Promotion in University Students: Mixed Methods Study

However, many current apps often fail to incorporate evidence-based recommendations for PA promotion, with developers prioritizing marketing strategies over addressing real user needs [17,18]. Positive user experience (UX) influences user satisfaction, promoting sustained product use and increasing recommendations [19]. “To create successful products or services it is necessary to ensure that the product has a sufficiently high user experience” [20].

Preferences for Mobile Apps That Aim to Modify Alcohol Use: Thematic Content Analysis of User Reviews

Preferences for Mobile Apps That Aim to Modify Alcohol Use: Thematic Content Analysis of User Reviews

One such strategy to accomplish this goal is to examine user reviews of existing apps since user ratings in digital marketplaces have been found to influence app quality and, therefore, impact the usage of that app [7]. Information from these publicly available app user reviews may be used to inform app refinement without associated costs of User Experience (UX) or other User-Centered Design research projects.

An Automated Clinical Laboratory Decision Support System for Test Utilization, Medical Necessity Verification, and Payment Processing

An Automated Clinical Laboratory Decision Support System for Test Utilization, Medical Necessity Verification, and Payment Processing

Currently, there are some partially developed and semimanual lab CDSSs that help physicians order laboratory tests; however, these approaches are provider-driven and require inconvenient interactive user questions to access the information needed [10]. Unlike radiology CDSSs, these systems do not provide any scoring system for tests based on medical evidence, clinical relevancy, or medical necessity.

Oncology Clinicians' Perspectives of a Remote Patient Monitoring Program: Multi-Modal Case Study Approach

Oncology Clinicians' Perspectives of a Remote Patient Monitoring Program: Multi-Modal Case Study Approach

The broader aim was to identify the impact, perceived usefulness ease of use, user control of the RPM, and barriers and facilitators experienced during the initial RPM implementation. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research [12] guided this study to query oncology clinicians, the key contributors to this management strategy, about their experiences, satisfaction, usefulness, and value of RPM.

Determinants of Dropout From a Virtual Agent–Based App for Insomnia Management in a Self-Selected Sample of Users With Insomnia Symptoms: Longitudinal Study

Determinants of Dropout From a Virtual Agent–Based App for Insomnia Management in a Self-Selected Sample of Users With Insomnia Symptoms: Longitudinal Study

Although these fully automated digital CBT-I programs can display some differences (eg, number of weeks required to complete the treatment), generally they all ask the user to track their sleep daily by completing a sleep diary. They also incorporate algorithms to provide personalized feedback and a treatment program tailored to the user that usually comprises sleep hygiene practices and evidence-based behavioral recommendations known to improve chronic insomnia symptoms.

User Outcomes for an App-Delivered Hypnosis Intervention for Menopausal Hot Flashes: Retrospective Analysis

User Outcomes for an App-Delivered Hypnosis Intervention for Menopausal Hot Flashes: Retrospective Analysis

This study aims to (1) determine self-reported user outcomes regarding whether users experienced a clinically significant (50%) reduction in daily hot flashes, (2) determine self-reported user outcomes regarding changes in hot flash severity, (3) describe user demographics and characteristics, (4) describe self-reported Evia app use patterns, (5) determine factors associated with intervention outcomes, and (6) determine the association of self-reported hot flash outcomes with self-reported use patterns.

Implementation and User Satisfaction of a Comprehensive Telemedicine Approach for SARS-CoV-2 Self-Sampling: Monocentric, Prospective, Interventional, Open-Label, Controlled, Two-Arm Feasibility Study

Implementation and User Satisfaction of a Comprehensive Telemedicine Approach for SARS-CoV-2 Self-Sampling: Monocentric, Prospective, Interventional, Open-Label, Controlled, Two-Arm Feasibility Study

To achieve a complete telemedicical approach, we developed an easy-to-use user front-end application linked to a clinical information system and data integration center and improved interoperable data management (Figure 1). The CG underwent standard procedures for SARS-Co V-2 testing by HCPs at the study site. Data flow in a comprehensive telemedicine approach for SARS-Co V-2 self-sampling with 100 participants.
