The design of a smartphone application (app) for promoting healthy lifestyle choices has been investigated for people with mild cognitive impairment. The app was designed to provide health-related messages and assist users to keep track of activities such as walking, eating and drinking water. A reward scheme with gold, silver and bronze awards was incorporated as a means of assisting user motivation. Responses to the app and user feedback were gathered for purposes of evaluation and improvement. Outcomes indicate that the approach has some potential and could have good implications for encouraging positive health-related behaviour change in this population, hence prompting further investigation and development of the concept.
针对轻度认知障碍患者，研究了一款用于促进健康生活方式选择的智能手机应用程序（app）的设计。该应用程序旨在提供与健康相关的信息，并帮助用户记录诸如散步、饮食和饮水等活动。引入了金、银、铜奖的奖励机制，作为辅助用户积极性的一种手段。收集了对该应用程序的反馈和用户反馈，以进行评估和改进。结果表明，该方法具有一定潜力，可能对鼓励这一人群的积极健康相关行为改变产生良好影响，从而促使对该概念进行进一步研究和开发。
