The number of people with lifestyle-related diseases continues to increase worldwide. Improving lifestyle behavior with health literacy may be the key to address lifestyle-related diseases. The delivery of educational videos using mobile health (mHealth) services can replace the conventional way of educating individuals, and visualization can replace the provision of health checkup data.
This paper aimed to describe the development of educational content for MIRAMED, a mobile app aimed at improving users' lifestyle behaviors and health literacy for lifestyle-related diseases.
All videos were based on a single unified framework to provide users with a consistent flow of information. The framework was later turned into a storyboard. The final video contents were created based on this storyboard and further discussions with leading experts and specialist physicians on effective communication with app users about lifestyle-related diseases.
The app uses visualization of personal health checkup data and educational videos on lifestyle-related diseases based on the current health guidelines, scientific evidence, and expert opinions of leading specialist physicians in the respective fields. A total of 8 videos were created for specific lifestyle-related diseases affecting 8 organs: (1) brain-cerebrovascular disorder, (2) eyes-diabetic retinopathy, (3) lungs-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, (4) heart-ischemic heart disease, (5) liver-fatty liver, (6) kidneys-chronic kidney disease (diabetic kidney disease), (7) blood vessels-peripheral arterial disease, and (8) nerves-diabetic neuropathy.
Providing enhanced mHealth education using novel digital technologies to visualize conventional health checkup data and lifestyle-related diseases is an innovative strategy. Future studies to evaluate the efficacy of the developed content are planned.
全球与生活方式相关的疾病患者人数不断增加。提高健康素养的生活方式行为可能是解决生活方式相关疾病的关键。使用移动健康(mHealth)服务提供教育视频可以替代传统的个体教育方式,而可视化可以替代健康检查数据的提供。
本文旨在描述 MIRAMED 移动应用程序的教育内容的开发,该应用程序旨在改善用户与生活方式相关的疾病相关的生活方式行为和健康素养。
所有视频均基于单一统一的框架,为用户提供一致的信息流。该框架后来被转化为故事板。最终的视频内容是基于这个故事板以及与领先的专家和专科医生就与生活方式相关的疾病与应用程序用户进行有效沟通进行的进一步讨论而创建的。
该应用程序基于当前健康指南、科学证据以及各个领域领先专科医生的专家意见,使用个人健康检查数据的可视化和有关生活方式相关疾病的教育视频。总共为影响 8 个器官的特定生活方式相关疾病创建了 8 个视频:(1)脑-脑血管疾病,(2)眼睛-糖尿病视网膜病变,(3)肺-慢性阻塞性肺病,(4)心脏-缺血性心脏病,(5)肝脏-脂肪肝,(6)肾脏-慢性肾脏病(糖尿病肾病),(7)血管-外周动脉疾病,和(8)神经-糖尿病神经病变。
使用新颖的数字技术提供增强的 mHealth 教育,以可视化传统的健康检查数据和生活方式相关疾病是一种创新策略。计划进行未来的研究以评估所开发内容的功效。
