Abstract

Various reminder systems have emerged to promote users’ health. However, it is hard to say such systems by which person is passively following the instructions can truly meet the goal. This means researchers are under pressure to find the ways of persuading a user to accept the instructions. Seeking the best time to provide the prompts is important to improve user adherence. A methodology is proposed by a following idea where the full benefit of the acceptable reminder will be achieved only if the user is open-minded to an interruption caused by it reasonably and closely. The time for prompting is thus evaluated before a decision on when a user is most receptive. We describe our experience in delivering the attention-sensitive reminders for elder adults to take their medication. Experimental results show that the approach can improve user adherence in an efficient and flexible way.
提高用户对提醒的依从性:一个模型和方法
各种提醒系统已经出现,以促进用户的健康。然而,这种人们被动地听从指令的系统很难说能真正达到目标。这意味着研究人员面临着寻找说服用户接受指示的方法的压力。寻找提供提示的最佳时间对于提高用户依从性非常重要。下面的想法提出了一种方法,只有当用户对由它引起的合理和密切的中断持开放态度时,才能实现可接受提醒的全部好处。因此,在决定用户最容易接受的时间之前,需要评估提示时间。我们描述我们的经验,提供注意力敏感的提醒,为老年人服用他们的药物。实验结果表明,该方法可以有效、灵活地提高用户的依从性。
