Specifically, the jutting out of the tail of characters and inclusion of a loop-with-serrated-line,\u0000 together with sufficient character width, have been found to improve legibility. In the current study, a set of four homologous\u0000 characters was presented to the parafoveal region with a short-exposure methodology to display the characters with low visual\u0000 acuity. Overall, the results revealed that most of the chosen idealistic key features enhanced the legibility of characters\u0000 presented in parafoveal vision. However, the detailed results revealed variation in the amount of confusion between letter pairs\u0000 for each tested character. These findings suggest the need for several practical improvements by modifying the specific features\u0000 of each letter. Although the results of the short-exposure and blur simulation approaches differed at times, the findings of both\u0000 studies suggest possibilities for developing optimal letterforms using a combination of both methodologies.","PeriodicalId":35109,"journal":{"name":"Information Design Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44938091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This results in unrealistic\u0000 expectations by both healthcare providers and patients. Effective obesity management must be individually tailored for each\u0000 patient. The objective of this project was to improve four communication tools by co-designing them with patients. A co-design\u0000 approach was used to improve the efficacy and applicability of the tools through a working collaboration between patients, care\u0000 providers, and researchers. While most articles describe processes to create shared-decision making (SDM) tools which compare\u0000 alternative diagnosis and treatment options, few papers describe models to create SDM tools which go beyond showing benefits and\u0000 risks. In this paper, we describe our process and approach to the re-design of four of the 5As obesity tools. We hope this study\u0000 provides a valuable model for other teams.","PeriodicalId":35109,"journal":{"name":"Information Design Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46275508","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
