■已经开发了多种mhealth(移动健康)干预措施和移动应用程序来支持糖尿病的自我管理。然而,大多数应用程序都是在不需要该领域的专家进行评估和评估的情况下开发的。本研究旨在使用系统方法设计和开发支持2型糖尿病(T2D)患者糖尿病自我管理的移动应用程序(应用程序)。
■在这项研究中,混合方法设计用于开发移动应用程序。mhealth干预措施的设计和开发分为五个步骤:i)广泛的文献检索,ii)在医疗保健提供者和患者的帮助下对T2D患者进行需求评估(采访了15个医疗保健提供者,如临床医生,营养师,和糖尿病教育者,and2focusgroupdiscussionswithpatients)iii)Ideationandcontentdevelopmentofappbasedonresultsofneedsassessment;iv)contentvalidation(by10healthcareproviders)andv)Appdevelopmentonahybridplatform.用户对应用程序的评估,即2型糖尿病患者使用用户的移动应用程序评定量表(uMARS)进行。该应用程序由40名患者进行了评估,并在uMARS问卷上进行了评分。
■开发了以患者为中心的移动应用程序,用于糖尿病的营养管理,具有三个模块:患者模块,评估模块,和医疗保健提供者模块。患者模块是提供给患者的应用程序,具有饮食等功能,身体活动,血糖日志,教育,等。,此外,症状检查程序,应力计博客,和FAQ。当用户输入任何日志时,评估模块与应用程序集成在一起,它根据屏幕上的标准截止和闪烁提示来评估条目。医疗保健提供者模块与服务器交互,为他们提供患者数据,注释,和反馈。
■用户发现该应用程序令人满意。结合其他功能来增强用户界面和简化导航可能会增强用户参与度,从而帮助管理T2D。
UNASSIGNED: Multiple mhealth (mobile health) interventions and mobile applications have been developed to support diabetes self-management. However, most of the apps are developed without the need for assessment and evaluation by experts in the field. This study aimed to design and develop a mobile application (app) supporting diabetes self-management for people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D) using a systematic approach.
UNASSIGNED: In this study mixed method design was used to develop the mobile application. The mhealth intervention was designed and developed in five steps: i) Extensive literature search, ii) Needs assessment of patients with T2D with the help of healthcare providers and patients (Interviews with 15 healthcare providers like clinicians, dietitians, and diabetes educators, and 2 focus group discussions with patients) iii) Ideation and content development of app based on outcomes of needs assessment; iv) content validation (by 10 healthcare providers) and v) App development on a hybrid platform. Evaluation of the app by users i.e., type 2 diabetes patients was done using the users\' Mobile App rating scale (uMARS). The app was evaluated by 40 patients and rated on the uMARS questionnaire.
UNASSIGNED: A patient-centric mobile app was developed for the nutritional management of diabetes with three modules: The patient module, the Evaluation module, and the Healthcare provider module. The patient module was the app that was provided to the patients with features like diet, physical activity, blood glucose log, education, etc., in addition to, a symptom checker, Stress meter blog, and FAQ. The evaluation module was integrated with the app it works when a user enters any log, it evaluates the entry against the standard cutoffs and flash prompts on the screen. The Healthcare provider module interacts with the server to provide them with patient data, comments, and feedback.
UNASSIGNED: The users found the app to be satisfactory. Incorporating additional features to enhance the user interface and streamline navigation could potentially enhance user engagement, thereby aiding in the management of T2D.
