Mhealth Apps

BACKGROUND Physical inactivity is a global issue that impacts the health and productivity of a large number of people. With the advancement of mobile and wearable technologies, many applications and devices have been developed to facilitate self-health management and promote a healthy lifestyle. However, little research has examined the effectiveness of these mobile health applications (mHealth apps) to motivate exercise adherence. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study is to improve the design of mHealth apps for exercise self-management by tailoring the message content and use tactics. Specifically, we 1) investigate whether sending motivational messages can improve adherence to exercise plans; 2) consider whether the motivational effect is impacted by personality; 3) test the impact of message type (logical vs. emotional) and repetition; 4) investigate the interaction effect between message type, repetition, and personality type; and 5) explore the possibility of involving a behavior experiment in the design process and learning new design principles from the results. METHODS We proposed an enhanced action design research process by incorporating a behavior experiment into the process. Based on problem framing and theoretical premises, we used Apple’s ResearchKit to develop the initial artifact (i.e. the mHealth app). The app was available for anyone to download from the Apple store. We also recruited participants through a gym, where many members were participating in weight loss programs. We then conducted a field behavior experiment, targeting the users who had used the app for at least 2 months. All user inputs and usage patterns were recorded in the online database for analysis, through which we understood how users interact with the app, and we were thus able to verify, correct, and enhance the design principles of the mHealth app. RESULTS There were 160 users who downloaded the app during the 2-month period; after excluding users who stopped using the application in the middle of the process, 89 participants remained. The results of the experimental study suggest that people with a feeling personality type are more likely to adhere to self-defined exercise plans than people with a thinking personality type. Emotional messages are more effective in motivating exercise adherence than logical messages. With repeated reminders, the adherence rates of people with a thinking personality type are significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS This study contributes to the research area of mHealth apps. The principles learned from this study can be applied to make mHealth apps more effective. By incorporating a behavior experiment into the action design research process, we demonstrate the benefit of combining design science and behavior experiments. The application design can be considered a foundation to develop more advanced applications for specific diseases, such as diabetes and asthma for future research.

Purpose Although there is a large body of literature available on the foundations of workplace learning (WPL), little is known about designated research methods that systematically combine intervention, design and learning at work. The purpose of this study is to propose action design research as an alternative method for organizing WPL in general and facilitating pedagogically rich activities in particular. Design/methodology/approach This research used a case study approach to focus the action design research method and exemplify its utility through two case studies that emphasize WPL in general and how the method can be used to facilitate pedagogically rich activities in particular. Findings The results of the case studies indicate that the action design research method had a significantly positive effect on organizing WPL in organizations systematically, as well as creating a narrative that structures the research process and its outcomes. Originality/value The findings help scholars that are in need of organizing WPL research in a systematic way. The findings do also help practitioners in organizations to solve real-world problems and develop new knowledge jointly together with scholars. Consequently, the findings contribute to the existing literature by exemplifying how to facilitate pedagogically rich activities and disseminate the outcomes of doing so in a formalized way.

The transformation of China's design innovation industry has highlighted the importance of design research. The design research process in practice can be regarded as the process of knowledge production. The design 3.0 mode based on knowledge production MODE2 has been shown in the Chinese design innovation industry. On this cognition, this paper establishes a map with two dimensions of how knowledge integration occurs in practice based design research, which are the design knowledge transfer and contextual transformation of design knowledge. We use this map to carry out the analysis of design research cases. Through the analysis, we define four typical practice based design research models from the viewpoint of knowledge integration. This method and the proposed model can provide a theoretical basis and a path for better management design research projects.

Concept Of Information

The creation of information models requires the use of known methods and the development of new methods of formalizing the pre-design research process. The modeling process consists of four stages: data collection on the object of management - pre-project research; creation of a graphical model of business processes taking place in the enterprise; development of a formal model of business processes; business research by optimizing the formal model. To support the creation of workflow management services and systems, the complex offers methodologies, standards and specialized software that make up the developer's tools. This can be ensured only by modern automated methods based on information systems. It is important that the information collected is structured to meet the needs of potential users and stored in a form that allows the use of modern access technologies. Before discussing the effectiveness of FIM, it should be noted that the basic concept of information itself is still not the same. In a pragmatic way, it is a set of messages in the form of an important document for the system. Information can be evaluated not only by volume, but also by various parameters, the most important of which are: timeliness, relevance, value, aging, accuracy, etc. in addition, the information may be clear, probable and accurate. The methods of its reception and processing are different in each case.

The Impact

<p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-GB">Teaching in higher education in the 21st century can be a demanding and complex role and academic educators around the globe are dealing with questions related to change. This paper describes a new type of a professional development program for teaching faculty, using a pedagogical model based on the principles of authentic e-learning. The program was developed with the help of an iterative educational design research process and rapid prototyping based on on-going research and redesign. This paper describes how the findings of the evaluations guided the design process and how the impact of the measures taken was in turn researched, in order to eventually identify and refine design principles for an authentic e-learning program for international teaching faculty professional development.</span></p>
