In the co-design process of mHealth apps, the intuitiveness of user experience (UE) and user demands (UDs) are very important to the stakeholders. However, there is little research on how UE and UD are visually presented to stakeholders. Similar literature related to the design perspective of pregnant women is rare. Therefore, there is a need to propose a conceptual framework from a design perspective to visualize UD for stakeholders to enhance their communication efficiency and engage their creativity. In the research, we attempt to propose a storyboarding strategy for developing mHealth apps to visualize UDs for stakeholders. This article presents a systematic literature review synthesis process on selected literature on identifying the best storyboarding strategy of mHealth apps for pregnant women that could visualize UDs. Results from the study found the potential application of a storyboarding strategy for visualizing pregnant ladies' demands in developing the mHealth app's early design phase. This study contributes to proposing a conceptual framework for cartoon-like storyboarding in the early design phase of mHealth app development to visualize pregnant ladies' demands to foster user health behavior. This study is significant for integrating UDs into developing mHealth apps for pregnant women. Future studies are recommended to determine the characteristics of storyboarding in developing mHealth apps for pregnant women.
在移动健康应用程序的协同设计过程中，用户体验（UE）的直观性和用户需求（UDs）对利益相关者非常重要。然而，关于UE和UD如何以可视化方式呈现给利益相关者的研究很少。与孕妇设计视角相关的类似文献也很少见。因此，有必要从设计角度提出一个概念框架，将UDs可视化，以提高利益相关者的沟通效率并激发他们的创造力。在这项研究中，我们试图提出一种用于开发移动健康应用程序的故事板策略，以便为利益相关者可视化UDs。本文针对选定的文献呈现了一个系统的文献综述综合过程，这些文献旨在确定能将UDs可视化的针对孕妇的移动健康应用程序的最佳故事板策略。研究结果发现，故事板策略在移动健康应用程序早期设计阶段可视化孕妇需求方面具有潜在应用价值。本研究有助于在移动健康应用程序开发的早期设计阶段提出一个类似卡通的故事板概念框架，以可视化孕妇需求，促进用户健康行为。这项研究对于将UDs整合到为孕妇开发移动健康应用程序中具有重要意义。建议未来的研究确定为孕妇开发移动健康应用程序时故事板的特征。
