BECOME: A Modular Recommender System for Coaching and Promoting Empowerment in Healthcare

Abstract

In this chapter, we present BECOME (Behavior Change recOMender systEm), a modular Recommender System built to cope with issues like personalization, adaptation, and delivery of contents pertinently designed to solve idiosyncrasies of various topics in the healthcare field. The main objective is to empower citizens or patients to make informed decisions to improve their health condition. It deals with a double-edged personalization process as one of the key aspects to fostering self-empowerment: content dynamically personalized and adapted as new information is gathered and flexibility in the strategies and timings of the delivery. Thus, we take personalization one step further by not only tailoring the content, which is the standard customization strategy, but also adapting its timings and complexity in a dynamic manner while dealing with the feeling of having an entity (the coach) behind, ready to help. To show the modularity of the system and the diverse ways of interaction, different studies representing various use cases are presented.

Scoping Review: Intervensi Penyakit Tidak Menular Menggunakan Media Digital Promosi Kesehatan dalam Proses Pencegahan Primer

“…Berdasarkan tabel 2 format kategori media digital, media digital promosi kesehatan yang menggunakan aplikasi mHealth atau eHealth ada lima artikel penelitian yang didalamnya termasuk kategori media digital teks, audio, video dan gambar (Rodrigues et al, 2021), (Ernest NJUKANG et al, 2022), (Sy et al, 2020), (Sumarsono et al, 2023), (Orte et al, 2023), media digital promosi kesehatan yang menggunakan situs web ada satu artikel penelitian yang didalamnya termasuk kategori media digital teks (James W, Elston D, 20 C.E. ), media digital promosi kesehatan yang menggunakan aplikasi pada mobile phone terdapat empat artikel penelitian yang didalamnya termasuk kategori media digital teks, audio, video dan gambar (Sillice et al, 2019), (Dorje et al, 2019), (Castro et al, n.d.), (Jiang et al, 2020), hanya satu media digital promosi kesehatan yang menggunakan media sosial yaitu Facebook (Siegmund et al, 2023), media digital promosi kesehatan yang menggunakan foto klip video serta animasi ada dua artikel penelitian (Lairson et al, 2020), (Almomani et al, 2021).…”

“…), (Castro et al, n.d.), (Almomani et al, 2021) atau lebih ke intervensi pencegahan faktor resiko, gejala, diagnosis, aktivitas fisik, pemantauan dan evaluasi pada kejadian PTM dan aspek gaya hidup. Sedangkan jenis PTM yang lebih spesifik seperti kanker usus hanya satu artikel penelitian (Lairson et al, 2020), penyakit jantung ada tiga artikel penelitian (Dorje et al, 2019), (Siegmund et al, 2023), (Orte et al, 2023), Diabetes Militus ada empat artikel penelitian (Rodrigues et al, 2021), Sy et al, 2020), (Sumarsono et al, 2023, (Orte et al, 2023), Hipertensi ada dua artikel penelitian (Ernest NJUKANG et al, 2022) (Orte et al, 2023), Penyakit Paru Obstruktif Kronis hanya satu artikel penelitian (Jiang et al, 2020) . Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa intervensi PTM secara umum lebih banyak diteliti karena PTM secara umum memiliki faktor resiko yang sama, yakni merokok, makan tidak sehat dan kurangnya aktivitas fisik.…”

Designing Health Recommender Systems with a Health Equity Lens (Preprint)

“…Further, HRS can also empower users through prioritizing user decisions over system performance. For example, in a previous study, a HRS for health coaching allowed participants to pick their own health domain to work on, and only use the information they wanted to provide, such as not using sensors or answering all health-related questions [15]. Thus, the use of HRS can lead to more equitable healthcare recommendations and empowered health decisions.…”
