Exploring Older Adults’ Needs for a Healthy Life and eHealth: Qualitative Interview Study

Exploring Older Adults’ Needs for a Healthy Life and eHealth: Qualitative Interview Study

Mapping user needs is important because without understanding needs, designing high-quality solutions is challenging [42]. User needs can be defined as the problems that prevent users from reaching their goals or possibilities to support them in reaching these goals [43]. User needs can be personal or more social in nature, and they can be related, for example, to available information or technology functions [44].

Understanding Patients’ Preferences for a Digital Intervention to Prevent Posttreatment Deterioration for Bulimia-Spectrum Eating Disorders: User-Centered Design Study

Understanding Patients’ Preferences for a Digital Intervention to Prevent Posttreatment Deterioration for Bulimia-Spectrum Eating Disorders: User-Centered Design Study

The first step is to learn core users’ needs and preferences (Investigate), generate initial product ideas (Ideate), create a minimally viable product as a prototype (Prototype), iteratively test the prototype (Evaluate), refine the design and develop the final product (Refine and Develop), and test the product in real-world (Validate) [22].

Exploring the Needs of People With Chronic Low Back Pain and Health Care Professionals for mHealth Devices to Support Self-Managed Physical Activity and Pain: User-Centered Design Approach

This study focused only on the initial process of the approach to investigate the needs of people with CLBP and to guide future prototype designs (Figure 1) [50-52]. The study was conducted in France and Switzerland and involved three successive data collection phases: (1) needs investigation with a group of experts, (2) needs exploration with people with CLBP and health care professionals, and (3) validation of the needs identified and development of recommendations.

Preferences for Text Messaging Supports During Youth Transition to Adult Mental Health Services: Theory-Informed Modified e-Delphi Study

Preferences for Text Messaging Supports During Youth Transition to Adult Mental Health Services: Theory-Informed Modified e-Delphi Study

Youth in Canada (aged 16-24 years) have the highest rates of mental health and addiction concerns across all age groups and the most unmet health care needs [1]. Mental health or substance use concerns are experienced by 1 in 5 young people [2]. Significantly, it is during this time in their lives when youth no longer qualify for most child services and must meet eligibility criteria if they need to access adult mental health services [3].

Needs Expressed in Peer-to-Peer Web-Based Interactions Among People With Depression and Anxiety Disorders Hospitalized in a Mental Health Facility: Mixed Methods Study

Unmet needs are particularly problematic in patients with psychiatric disorders because their mental condition might be an obstacle to expressing these needs [57,58]. One such condition is dementia, as studied by Røsvik and Rokstad [59] in a systematic review aimed at identifying the needs of patients, caregivers, and staff in the context of acute hospitalization. There have been studies conducted with the objective of deepening our understanding of patients’ needs.

Developing a Cost-Effective Surgical Scheduling System Applying Lean Thinking and Toyota’s Methods for Surgery-Related Big Data for Improved Data Use in Hospitals: User-Centered Design Approach

Developing a Cost-Effective Surgical Scheduling System Applying Lean Thinking and Toyota’s Methods for Surgery-Related Big Data for Improved Data Use in Hospitals: User-Centered Design Approach

According to analysis, the main cause of this issue is the lack of a surgical scheduling system that can meet the needs of users. Uncertainty creates panic. When the IT department was asked to provide a surgical scheduling system that could meet the needs of OR staff and surgeons in our hospital, they could not provide such a system. Why did the IT department have no ability to provide us with a surgical scheduling system that could meet our needs?

User-Centered Framework for Implementation of Technology (UFIT): Development of an Integrated Framework for Designing Clinical Decision Support Tools Packaged With Tailored Implementation Strategies

User-Centered Framework for Implementation of Technology (UFIT): Development of an Integrated Framework for Designing Clinical Decision Support Tools Packaged With Tailored Implementation Strategies

Poor EHR usability has been associated with clinician burnout, alert fatigue, and inappropriate care, suggesting potentially harmful effects of mismatches between technology, site-specific context, and user needs [5-7]. Successful dissemination and implementation across diverse clinical contexts require balancing the fidelity of core functions with adaptation to ensure compatibility with shared and divergent user needs and contexts [8].
