Obesity is a multifactorial disease resulting from various environmental, genetic, and metabolic factors, affecting a large portion of the population. One of the most effective treatments for severe obesity is bariatric surgery. This research aims to develop a shared decision-making system that facilitates the selection of the appropriate type of bariatric surgery.
In this research, we designed and developed a prototype of a shared decision-making system to aid in choosing the type of bariatric surgery through three steps: a) identifying data requirements from a literature review, b) designing interfaces and prototyping, and c) conducting a usability evaluation.
Through a literature review of articles, books, and interviews with ten selected patients, the necessary clinical data and educational topics were identified and confirmed by nine surgeons. A prototype was developed using the web application "Figma." We also analyzed the prototype using heuristic evaluation; "helping users understand and recover from errors" and "confidentiality" had the highest degrees of problem severity, with scores of 3.3 and 3.5, respectively.
The developed prototype demonstrated an acceptable level of usability. This system can facilitate shared decision-making and help structure education for patients seeking bariatric surgery.
肥胖是一种由多种环境、遗传和代谢因素导致的多因素疾病，影响着很大一部分人群。治疗重度肥胖最有效的方法之一是减肥手术。本研究旨在开发一个共享决策系统，以促进选择合适的减肥手术类型。
在本研究中，我们设计并开发了一个共享决策系统的原型，通过三个步骤来辅助选择减肥手术类型：a）通过文献综述确定数据需求，b）设计界面并制作原型，c）进行可用性评估。
通过对文章、书籍的文献综述以及对十名选定患者的访谈，确定了必要的临床数据和教育主题，并得到了九位外科医生的确认。使用网络应用程序“Figma”开发了一个原型。我们还使用启发式评估对该原型进行了分析；“帮助用户理解错误并从中恢复”和“保密性”的问题严重程度最高，得分分别为3.3和3.5。
所开发的原型展示了可接受的可用性水平。该系统可以促进共享决策，并有助于为寻求减肥手术的患者构建教育体系。
