Designing Adaptive User Interfaces for mHealth applications targeting chronic disease: A User-Centric Approach
<|reference_start|>Designing Adaptive User Interfaces for mHealth applications targeting chronic disease: A User-Centric Approach: mHealth interventions show significant potential to help in the self-management of chronic diseases, but their under use remains a problem. Considering the substantial diversity among individuals dealing with chronic diseases, tailored strategies are essential. \emph{Adaptive User Interfaces} (AUIs) may help address the diverse and evolving needs of this demographic. To investigate this approach, we developed an AUI prototype informed by existing literature findings. We then used this prototype as the basis for focus group discussions and interview studies with 22 participants managing various chronic diseases, and follow-up surveys of all participants. Through these investigations, we pinpointed key challenges related to the use of AUIs, strategies to improve adaptation design, and potential trade-offs between these challenges and strategies. Concurrently, a quantitative survey was conducted to extract preferences for AUIs in chronic disease-related applications with 90 further participants. This uncovered participants' preferences for various adaptations, data types, collection methods, and involvement levels. Finally, we synthesised these insights and categories, aligning them with existing guidelines and design considerations for mHealth app adaptation design. This resulted in nine guidelines that we refined by a final feedback survey conducted with 20 participants.<|reference_end|>
