Development of Mobile Health Application for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 11
Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are one of major cause of death in the world, as well as in Indonesia. In spite of that fact, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) could be prevented with healthy behavior and lifestyle, such as: regular health check-up, healthy eating and drinking lifestyle, stress management, sleeping management, regular physical activities. In this paper, we develop mobile health application as a tool to record daily behavior and lifestyle. Mobile health is chosen because nowadays mobile devices are the most popular communication used among people. Thus, we believe that mobile Health (mHealth) is a promising tool to promote healthy lifestyle and behavior. The method we used for developing the application is called as Human-centered design (HCD). The application is evaluated iteratively from the first prototype (low-fidelity prototype) to the final prototype (high-fidelity prototype). Based on the feedback using User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) shows that the application has above average scores for all of the components, i.e.: attractiveness, clarity, efficiency, accuracy and dependability, stimulation, and novelty. The best score is for Stimulation (Excellent), while the worst score is accuracy and dependability (above average). This shows that mHealth is a potential tool to stimulate users for having healthy lifestyle, however it still required further validation of use from health experts to ensure the accuracy’s result of the application.
