Abstract

Objectives: This paper introduces HealthCheck, a novel evaluation method for persuasive mobile health applications, aiming to fill the critical gap in quick and effective evaluation tools for this domain. Methods: Following Design Science Research, HealthCheck was developed through problem identification, solution design, implementation, evaluation, and iterative refinement. The implementation involved testing with seven experts to assess its applicability and effectiveness. Results: Feedback from the evaluators indicated that while a few heuristics in HealthCheck were considered irrelevant by some, the majority found the heuristics to be both pertinent and beneficial, especially within the caregiving context. This feedback highlights the practical value of HealthCheck and its potential to offer meaningful insights into improving the usability of persuasive eHealth applications. Conclusion: The study shows HealthCheck effectively evaluates persuasive mobile health applications, offering actionable insights to enhance usability. This validates the relevance and robustness of HealthCheck's heuristics, advancing information systems and human-computer interaction research.

HealthCheck:评估有说服力的移动健康应用的方法。
目的:本文介绍了针对有说服力的移动健康应用的新型评估方法 HealthCheck,旨在填补该领域在快速有效的评估工具方面的重要空白。方法:按照设计科学研究的方法,HealthCheck 是通过问题识别、解决方案设计、实施、评估和迭代改进开发出来的。实施过程包括对七位专家进行测试,以评估其适用性和有效性。结果:评估人员的反馈表明,虽然有些人认为 HealthCheck 中的一些启发式方法无关紧要,但大多数人认为这些启发式方法既相关又有益,尤其是在护理工作中。这些反馈意见凸显了 HealthCheck 的实用价值,以及它为提高有说服力的电子健康应用程序的可用性提供有意义的见解的潜力。结论研究表明,HealthCheck 能有效评估具有说服力的移动医疗应用程序,为提高可用性提供可操作的见解。这验证了HealthCheck启发式方法的相关性和稳健性,推动了信息系统和人机交互研究的发展。
