“…A review of the constraints imposed by games on learning techniques, together with solutions such as neural networks, can be found in Galway et al 51 Additional information on the broader field of personalization in e-Health can be found in a recent special issue of User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction . 52 As we have suggested before, 53 recommender systems have potential in finding relevant factors, especially when there is a large number of potential factors. A recommender system is a software that uses an individual’s known behaviour on past activities to infer the interest in future activities.…”

Obesity has commonly been addressed using a 'one size fits all' approach centred on a combination of diet and exercise. This has not succeeded in halting the obesity epidemic, as two-thirds of American adults are now obese or overweight. Practitioners are increasingly highlighting that one's weight is shaped by myriad factors, suggesting that interventions should be tailored to the specific needs of individuals. Health games have potential to provide such tailored approach. However, they currently tend to focus on communicating and/or reinforcing knowledge, in order to suscitate learning in the participants. We argue that it would be equally, if not more valuable, that games learn from participants using recommender systems. This would allow treatments to be comprehensive, as games can deduce from the participants' behaviour which factors seem to be most relevant to his or her weight and focus on them. We introduce a novel game architecture and discuss its implications on facilitating the self-management of obesity.

“…It encompassed the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in the health sector, including the delivery of health information, care, and treatment through digital and electronic platforms. The Australian National e-Health strategy further elaborated on this de nition by stating that e-Health ensures "that the right health information is provided to the right person at the right place and time in a secure, electronic form to optimize the quality and e ciency of health care delivery" [45]. Outcome: 1) The focus and aim of this study should include at least one aspect of symptom evaluation, symptom burden or symptom management; 2) For experimental studies, the outcome measure should include at least one measure related to symptoms caused by the chronic kidney disease, the progression of disease or the treatment (dialysis, medicine related to Chronic Kidney Disease, etc.…”

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) presents a growing global health issue with a complex symptom phenotype, negatively impacting patients' health-related quality of life and increasing healthcare utilization. While digital health interventions offer promising avenues for improving symptom management in CKD, understanding their development, validation, and effectiveness is crucial for clinical application. Objective: To comprehensively map the existing literature on the development and validation processes of digital health interventions aimed at managing symptoms in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), using the UK Medical Research Council's complex intervention framework as a guiding lens. This scoping review aims to identify gaps, challenges, and prospects in this domain, thereby informing future research endeavours and clinical practice guidelines for developing and implementing effective digital health interventions for CKD symptom management. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Databases searched included PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and others, covering literature up to December 2023. Studies were selected based on predefined eligibility criteria focusing on digital health interventions for CKD symptom management. Results: The search yielded 31 studies, with a mix of development and validation studies, predominantly from developed countries. The review highlights the potential of digital interventions in enhancing symptom management, quality of life, and patient engagement in CKD care. However, gaps were identified as follows: 1) Iterative refinement cycles involving multidisciplinary stakeholders enhanced intervention acceptability and usability should be guaranteed, 2) Theory-driven and evidence-based approaches were underutilized in current intervention development, 3) Long-term implementation outcomes and process evaluations were rarely assessed. This review maps an evolving landscape where digital health interventions offer patient-centric solutions for CKD symptom management while highlighting opportunities for methodological advancements. Conclusion: Digital health interventions hold promise for improving symptom management in CKD, yet more research is needed to overcome current limitations and fully realize their potential. Future studies should focus on patient-centred designs, comprehensive validation processes, exploring the underlying mechanism using process evaluation and the integration of these technologies into routine clinical practice.

“…This could be attributed to the many benefits stemming from such services (Riecken, 2000). An important benefit is the improved relevance of presented content (Grasso & Paris, 2011), for which the online health services are often criticised. Despite the advantages of introducing personalisation, no single formula works for all areas (Riecken, 2000).…”

This paper focuses on helping people affected by cancer – which is the leading cause of death worldwide - by identifying their personalisation needs for health websites. The aim is to identify a set of personalisation features that users prefer on these websites. Delving in a less explored area, the study also seeks to understand how user emotional states correlate with their needs for personalisation, to better define user models for health websites. Through a controlled experiment, based on the survey questionnaire method, we established that participants perceived that personalisation features offered on the evaluated website do meet their needs. More interestingly, perceived personalisation needs are influenced by certain emotions, primarily positively valenced emotions (e.g., interest). Finally, two factors positively impact intentions to reuse the website: personalisation needs and post-usage emotions. The outcomes of this study inform on ways to increase user engagement on health websites and improve online support available to people affected by cancer.
