“…Studies have shown that mobile health apps containing persuasive technology features were able to influence behaviour change. 70 , 71 A weight management mobile app which contains motivational approach features such as the ability to upload an image (daily progress or a selfie) on Instagram, has been shown to induce changes in daily habit, specifically in exercising and adopting a healthier diet. 70 Another mobile health app for chronic disease management which incorporated behavioural trigger messages was proven to improve self-efficacy and health-related behaviours among patients with diabetes.…”

Objective This study aimed to design, develop, assess and refine the EMPOWER-SUSTAIN Self-Management Mobile App© among primary care physicians (PCP) and patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in primary care. Methodology Using the software-development-life-cycle (SDLC) iterative model, storyboard and wireframe were drafted; and a mock prototype was designed to illustrate the content and function graphically. Subsequently, a working prototype was developed. Qualitative studies using the ‘think-aloud’ and cognitive-task-analysis methods were conducted for the utility and usability testing. Topic guide was based on the 10-Nielsen's-Heuristic-Principles. Utility testing was conducted among PCP in which they ‘thought-aloud’ while performing tasks using the mobile app. Usability testing was conducted among MetS patients after they were given the app for 3 weeks. They ‘thought-aloud’ while performing tasks using the app. Interviews were audio- and video-recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Thematic content analysis was performed. Result Seven PCP and nine patients participated in the utility and usability testing, respectively. Six themes (efficiency of use, user control and freedom, appearance and aesthetic features, clinical content, error prevention, and help and documentation) emerged. PCP found the mobile app attractive and relevant sections were easy to find. They suggested adding ‘zoom/swipe’ functions and some parts needed bigger fonts. Patients commented that the app was user-friendly, has nice interface, and straightforward language. It helped them understand their health better. Based on these findings, the mobile app was refined. Conclusion This app was produced using a robust SDLC method to increase users’ satisfaction and sustainability of its use. It could potentially improve self-management behaviour among MetS patients in primary care.
