摘要

背景和目的:患者和医疗保健提供者对使用智能手机应用程序等数字工具记录偏头痛天数、潜在诱因和药物使用的兴趣越来越大。然而,有机会优化这些应用程序的易学性和易用性。在这项人为因素研究中,我们使用VEGA移动应用程序评估偏头痛患者的体验。材料和方法:在4周内,诊断为偏头痛的个体使用VEGA应用程序,该应用程序生成包含4周数据的偏头痛报告,其中偏头痛天数根据功能影响,疼痛严重程度和药物使用情况报告。参与者还回答了一项调查,并使用6分李克特量表对应用程序的易用性进行了评分,其中“非常简单”是最高等级。结果:共有22名参与者完成了这项研究,年龄在22至57岁之间,其中54%为男性。18名参与者完成了偏头痛报告,记录了160天的偏头痛天数。参与者报告偏头痛的功能影响分别为“轻度”、“中度”或“严重”,记录偏头痛的天数分别为2,44和50天。疼痛严重程度评分为“轻度”24天,“中度”65天,“重度”63天。此外,20名参与者表示学习如何使用该应用程序“容易”或“非常容易”,19名参与者认为使用“简单”或“非常简单”。结论:在这项人为因素研究中,VEGA应用程序易于使用,提供了实时的患者报告数据。

A Human Factors Study Exploring the Experience of Participants Using VEGA, a Smartphone Migraine Management Application
Background and objectives: There is increasing interest by patients and healthcare providers in using digital tools such as smartphone applications to log migraine days, potential triggers and medication use. However, there are opportunities to optimize the learnability and ease of use of these applications. In this human factors study, we evaluated the experience of individuals with migraine using the VEGA mobile application. Material and methods: For 4 weeks, individuals diagnosed with migraine used the VEGA application, which generated a migraine report containing 4 weeks of data, where migraine days were reported based on functional impact, pain severity, and medication use. Participants also responded to a survey and rated the ease of use of the application using a 6-point Likert scale, with “very easy” being the highest ranking. Results: A total of 22 participants completed this study, ranged between 22 to 57 years old, and 54% were males. Eighteen participants completed the migraine report and logged 160 total migraine days. Participants reported the functional impact of migraine as "mild," "moderate," or "severe" for respectively 2, 44, and 50 of the logged migraine days. The pain severity was scored as “mild” for 24 days, “moderate” for 65 days, and “severe” for 63 days. Moreover, 20 participants reported it was “easy” or “very easy” to learn how to use the application, and 19 participants found it “simple” or “extremely simple” to use. Conclusions: In this human factors study, the VEGA application was easy to use, providing real-time patient-reported data.
