“…Involving users is a common practice in studies analysing applicability, usability, content and aesthetics to ensure that a product is appropriate for their needs, is satisfying [ 35 , 36 ] and motivates intention to use [ 37 ]. Testing two mobile application options allowed users to compare features and better take ownership of their preferences [ 38 , 39 ].…”

The aim of this exploratory study was to determine the important features in content and usability of existing mobile applications evaluating environmental barriers and facilitators (EBF) to participation for persons with physical disabilities presenting mild communication or cognitive limitations. A rigorous process based on a user-centered design approach led to the identification of two relevant mobile applications to evaluate the EBF. An accessibility expert, the research team as well as five users then tested the mobile applications in a shopping mall. A thematic content analysis of the research team’s and users’ comments established 10 categories of key features that adequately respond to the needs of the clientele targeted in this study. In terms of content, granularity and contextualization of the information provided were considered important. With respect to usability, relevant features were place finding, rating system, presentation of results, compatibility, user-friendliness, aesthetics, credibility of the information as well as connectivity/interactiveness. The research team and the users agreed on some aspects such as aesthetics, but had different perspectives on features such as the rating system or the connectivity/interactiveness of the application. The users proposed new features suggesting that the existing mobile applications did not correspond to all their needs.

“…Following focus groups with the adolescents, semistructured interviews with the parents and health care providers with pediatric practice took place and addressed the following topics: awareness of the adolescent’s weight, barriers and facilitators for treatment of adolescent overweight and obesity, and perceived usefulness of and intent to use technology. More detailed information about semistructured interviews can be found in the study by Knoblock-Hahn et al [50]. As a result of the focus groups and semistructured interviews, 5 viable app areas were identified: (1) social networking, (2) motivation, (3) cooking (which the adolescents also referenced as recipe builder ), (4) physical activity management, and (5) food management.…”

Background Childhood overweight and obesity are major health challenges in the United States. One of the recommendations to combat obesity is to maintain a healthy diet, which is often best supported by eating home-cooked meals to control cooking methods, ingredients, and portions. Diet control through home cooking is challenged because of the decline in culinary skills in the population and a paucity of effective culinary nutrition education (CNE) programs. Providing technology-enabled CNE (CNE-tech) to overweight and obese adolescents can equip them with life skills that can assist them in the future. Such skills can facilitate saving money, eating healthier, and creating social environments. In addition, CNE builds cooking confidence and food literacy that in turn can build adolescent self-efficacy, particularly toward managing their health behaviors. Objective This study aimed to inform functionalities, design requirements, and the context of use for CNE-tech that could enhance overweight and obese adolescents’ healthy food literacy, cooking confidence, and general self-efficacy with regard to self-management to ultimately promote healthy lifestyle management. Methods The design science study was completed in 2 distinct phases engaging overweight and obese adolescents, parents of overweight and obese adolescents, and the health care providers that treat adolescents with these conditions. Phase 2, our primary source of data, involved user-centered design methods including the following: (1) early stage prototype usability analysis, (2) semistructured interviews with 70 overweight or obese adolescents engaged in a healthy behavior program, and (3) semistructured interviews with 10 health care providers. Data were analyzed using constant comparison analysis to identify functionalities, design requirements, and inform the context of use of CNE-tech. Results Data revealed specific desired functionalities for the CNE-tech related to building cooking skills, populating a healthy recipe database, suggesting healthy alternatives, supporting the construction of a healthy plate, and the ability to share healthy recipes and cooking accomplishments. Moreover, the adolescents provided design requirements pertaining to the presentation (eg, vivid colors, semirealistic images, and cooking sounds), use of multimedia, and gaming. Data further revealed contextual factors, such as shared experiences with family members and enhanced continued use. Conclusions We demonstrate the potentiality of creating CNE-tech that could effectively lead to better self-care and induce sustainable behavioral change as it facilitates skill building, self-efficacy, and a pathway that enables overweight and obese adolescents to influence cooking habits in their family home and future dwellings. Our CNE-tech–proposed solution aligns with the goals of overweight and obese adolescents and also reflects existing theories about behavioral change.

“…Due to data limitations, we were only able to analyze two main constructs and two moderators of the model in this study. Each element plays a role as a direct determinant of user acceptance and some studies have successfully used a modified UTAUT model by either only using two or three elements or adding other determinants in their study (Chang & Hsu, 2012; de Veer et al, 2015; Hsieh, Kuo, Wang, Chuang, & Tsai, 2017; Knoblock-Hahn & LeRouge, 2014; Wang et al, 2009). We examined EE and FC; categorizing patient’s sensory and neuro/emotional/behavioral status as EE and caregiver support and functional status as FC.…”

Telehealth is an intervention that can assist patients with heart failure to manage their symptoms at home. However, it is reported that between 24–70% of eligible patients do not receive telehealth. This study aimed to explore factors associated with the initiation of telehealth among home care patients with heart failure using the Outcome and Assessment Information Set data (N=2,832). The findings indicate patients who received high-risk drugs education by visiting nurses had an 80% increase in the odds of receiving telehealth, and patients who received no assistance from caregivers had a 46% decrease in odds compared to those who were assisted at least daily.
