Background/Objectives: Even just a few years ago, we took care of a lot of things through PC, from writing simple documents to checking our email and doing online shopping. But many of these tasks are now done on smart phones.Methods/Statistical analysis: It has become difficult to imagine a world without smart phones these days. This has led to all websites considering a smart phone environment when designing their sites. The layout which has the greatest range of change depending on the screen size is now an important element in design. As such, a comparative analysis was conducted on the layout design of the main screens of Naver and Daum, two of the leading portals in Korea.Findings: The layout of the mobile portal site by Naver and Daum had similar menus without a big difference. However, there was a slight difference to the menu laid out around the search window. First, Naver had the search window located immediately below the site name and the menu was laid out so that news could be viewed by category. The menu can be moved left and right to enter into the categories. Major articles are shown under the menu. Scrolling the entire window up and down allows you to move to a screen to see more information. Under major articles are photos considered hot topics under ‘hot menu items’. Below the photo is weather forecast in a large font size, which would be of interest to many users. Daum, too, has the search window under the main logo but unlike Naver, has the real-time search ranking under the search menu instead of the main menu. In addition, the main menu located under the real time search words draw attention with its head font and color of the logo. This can be moved left and right to expand the menu. The remaining structure is similar to that of Naver, consisting of major news, hot topic photos and weather forecasts.Improvements/Applications: There were almost no ornamental elements on the main page of Naver or Daum. There were only text and information, as well as related photos.

Three Phases

BACKGROUND Involving chronically ill patients in the management of their health is widely recognized as a vital component of high-quality healthcare. In order to assume the role of informed participants, however, patients need both access to their health information as well as assistance in interpreting such data. Smart phone technology with text messaging (SMS) functionality offers a convenient and minimally demanding mechanism for providing such a dual capability to patients. To date, numerous such digital tools have been developed for use in various chronic and progressive disease conditions, including for rheumatoid arthritis. OBJECTIVE To describe the application of a human centered design (HCD) approach to inform the development of a framework for a digital health intervention to support symptom management and treatment adherence in rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS We reviewed the HCD approach which consists of three phases: understanding, ideation, and implementation. To develop our framework, methods were mapped to the objectives of each phase. RESULTS We developed a four-phase framework that was informed by an HCD approach. The first three phases in the framework, which consisted of understanding, ideation, and implementation, were consistent with the HCD approach. In addition, we added a fourth phase, post-implementation assessment, to enable evaluation of patient engagement and intervention impact on symptom self-management. CONCLUSIONS Applying HCD-based methods demands commitment to an iterative approach to intervention design. Each phase of our framework yields critical findings for ensuring that the final product is understandable, acceptable, and feasible, and provides value to the patient such that the intervention is both engaging and positively impacts patient outcomes.

Objective:A systematic review was conducted to identify the types of phone technology used in the adult outpatient population with a focus on Hispanic patients and psychiatric populations.Methods:A search for articles was conducted on the EMBASE, PubMed and PsycINFO databases. Articles reviewed were peer-reviewed, full-text, English language and published through mid-November 2014.Results:Twenty-one articles were included in this review and grouped according to combinations of phone technology, medical specialty area and population. For all articles, phone technology was defined as telephone, cell, or smart phone. Technology was used in psychiatry with Hispanic population in four articles, in psychiatry with non-Hispanic population in seven articles and in other specialties with Hispanic population in ten articles. Articles were evaluated for quality. Six articles were assessed as strong, eight were moderate and seven were weak in global quality. Interventions included direct communication, text messaging, interactive voice response, camera and smart phone app. Studies with Hispanic populations used more text messaging, while studies in psychiatry favored direct communication. The majority of articles in all groups yielded improvements in health outcomes.Conclusion:Few studies have been conducted using phone technology in Hispanic and psychiatric populations. Various phone technologies can be helpful to patients in diverse populations and have demonstrated success in improving a variety of specific and overall healthcare outcomes. Phone technologies are easily adapted to numerous settings and populations and are valuable tools in efforts to increase access to care.

Future Directions

In text messaging with mobile phones and smartphones, many users face pressure to rapidly reply. Despite the increasing importance of mobile text-messaging, few studies have examined reply speed. This article focused on the speed of interaction in text messaging via smart phone applications (especially those with read receipt functions). It was suggested that the speed of exchange and read receipt status can serve as operable nonverbal cues to the sender of the message. Toward the aim of effective communication via text messaging using smartphones, we propose future directions in examining the strategic use of speed of interaction and read receipts.

Keyboard Layout

The purpose of this article was the evaluation of the performance and usability for an alternative keyboard layout on a smart phone compared to the dominant QWERTY layout on a smart phone when presented to users gradually versus immediately. Alternative keyboards have been rejected time and time again for typing with ten fingers. Various studies have attempted to explain reasons regarding this. This article found that users' perceived usability was not more favorable toward the gradually changing keyboard layout as compared to the keyboard layout being presented immediately.

e18299 Background: Unreported symptoms during cancer treatment can lead to poorer patient care and quality of life. Newer technology enables effective means to track patients’ health in real time. We evaluated the feasibility of implementing systematic patient symptom monitoring during the first 12 months after diagnosis. Methods: Newly diagnosed endometrial and ovarian cancer patients were enrolled post-surgically to respond to monthly text message symptom surveys. Patients’ fatigue, sleep quality, pain, and quality of life during the past 7 days were rated on a 0 (worst) -10 (best) scale, and depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Patients’ responses were captured in REDCap and monitored by program staff, with patients’ oncologists receiving monthly feedback. Patient navigators were also engaged for patients needing assistance during treatment. We provide the results of the first 6 months of this program. Results: 134 patients were approached, and 120 patients (ovarian [n = 70] and endometrial [n = 50]) were enrolled among 5 physicians. The mean participant age was 63 (range: 35-87), 85% were non-Hispanic White, and 66% had education beyond high school. The most commonly reported monthly symptoms for both cancer types were moderate levels (scores of ≥ 4-7) of fatigue and sleep disturbance. 35 patients with PHQ-9 scores ≥ 10 and/or with suicidal ideation were reported to their oncologists for appropriate follow-up. At the 6 month survey, patients were asked to evaluate the text messaging program: 97% found the symptom surveys easy to complete on their smart phone or computer; 77% believed reporting their symptoms monthly was useful all or most of the time; 78% liked being monitored for symptoms all or most of the time; and 89% liked being asked if they needed any assistance prior to their next clinic visit. Patient navigators were used by 13 patients, and 17 patients dropped from the program over the 6 months due to death (n = 9) or lack of need/interest (n = 8). Average monthly compliance was 81%. Conclusions: We established the feasibility of enrolling patients in a monthly text-based monitoring program to facilitate symptom management during treatment. Patient follow-up is continuing.
