Study Notes

Book Title: Developing Medical Apps and mHealth Interventions

  • This book is a guide for researchers, physicians, and informaticians on developing medical apps and mHealth interventions.
  • It focuses on the transformation of healthcare through the use of information and knowledge, with a focus on the role of information in the transformation of healthcare delivery systems.
  • The book covers various aspects like specific professions, interdisciplinary issues such as the computer-based patient record, electronic health records (EHR), networked healthcare systems, and the role of informatics in influencing healthcare delivery systems.
  • It addresses the increasing use of smartphone applications to collect research data and trial/implement medical/health interventions, due to mobile technology's ubiquitous nature.

Preface

  • Smartphone apps are increasingly used to collect and trial medical/health interventions, facilitating personalised interventions and data acquisition.
  • This book aims to connect researchers, developers, and clinicians, highlighting best practice in designing, building, and evaluating mHealth interventions.

Acknowledgements

  • The authors acknowledge the contributions of various individuals and organizations for their contributions to the book.

Contents

  • The book outlines various topics revolving around mHealth, like introducing mHealth, various types of health apps, their advantages and disadvantages, and the development methodologies used for app design.
  •  It discusses the software crisis, Agile (including Scrum, Kanban and XP), and the Feature Driven Development (FDD) method for developing apps.
  • The book proceeds to cover different aspects of designing an mHealth intervention, including ethics, the review of existing approaches, usability testing and deployment (including the development of various platforms such as iOS and Android).
  • Qualitative approaches in data analysis like interviews and focus groups alongside quantitative analysis methods such as the t-test, ANOVA and linear regression, are also discussed.
  • It also offers a section on data collection, storage and security (including considerations of data security, privacy and compliance with regulations such as GDPR).
  • Finally it covers the various methods used to present complex data, such as dynamic visualisations, design principles and principles of visual design/composition in app design.
