ewrapper: Perceived Receptivity to Engagement Strategies in mHealth
Pages 398 - 402
Abstract
In this paper, we report findings from our pilot study using semi-structured interviews to assess users' perceived receptivity to an adaptive system of engagement strategies, ewrapper, that "wraps" around decision points in a dietary self-monitoring mobile application. Study participants were asked to perform a "think-aloud" usability exercise with paper prototypes of the intervention's interface design. This was followed by a needs and preferences assessment of the operationalization of various engagement strategies used in the design of ewrapper. We provide future design guidelines for such systems to improve user engagement.
