Bridging the Communication Gap Between People With Cognitive Impairments and Their Caregivers Using mHealth Apps: User-Centered Design and Evaluation Study With People With 22q11 Deletion Syndrome
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
BACKGROUND: In families with children with cognitive impairments, both parents and children experience tension and have questions because of a lack of communication and adequate information. Therefore, there is a great need to develop tools that can help bridge the communication gap between patients and caregivers by stimulating conversations and providing psychoeducational tools. mHealth apps show great potential in this context. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to discover the specific ways young people with cognitive impairments and their families interact with mHealth apps in the context of bridging the communication gap. This newly discovered information leads to potentially more impactful mHealth interventions in the future. Therefore, this paper documents the design and development of a mHealth app for a specific group of people with cognitive impairments-people with 22q11 deletion syndrome (22q11 DS)-and their caregivers, as well as key learnings from the evaluation of this app. METHODS: An iterative, user-centered design approach is used to design and develop the app. Design and evaluation happens in 2 phases. During the design phase, feedback is gathered from 2 medical experts and 3 human computer interaction (HCI) experts using a low-fidelity paper prototype. During the evaluation phase, feedback is gathered from 8 families with a child with 22q11 DS using a fully working proof of concept. This phase consists of a semistructured interview, a 2-4-week trial period, and a concluding semistructured interview. RESULTS: The evaluation results of the fully working proof of concept led to design recommendations related to four different topics: (1) overcoming usage barriers, (2) stimulating conversation through a mHealth app, (3) providing information, and (4) bringing continual added value. Results are presented according to six different categories obtained in a thematic analysis: (1) feedback about the app "as is," (2) difficulties, (3) comparison between physical and digital tool, (4) extensions, (5) intention, and (6) other. CONCLUSIONS: In this research, the need for apps that help bridge the communication gap between a person with cognitive impairment and their caregiver is confirmed. All participating families express their gratitude and mention the added value for other families. Therefore, it is highly encouraged for clinics and institutions to take action and develop an app to be used in practice. Furthermore, considerations when developing for people with 22q11 DS, or more broadly, people with cognitive impairments, are proposed. First, one should keep design principles in mind to overcome usage barriers. Next, recognition is a key concept when stimulating conversations through mobile apps. Third, information should be provided by a trusted source, and more than just clinical information can be considered valuable. Finally, having the possibility of using a digital tool that can be personalized brings continual added value.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
