Abstract Details

, Master of Sciences (Engineering), Case Western Reserve University, EECS - Computer Engineering.
The concept of self-management has been mentioned frequently in the medical field due to the stronger awareness and attention to human health. As a result, the self-management intervention (SMI) is introduced as the support tool by some medical providers such as doctors. The traditional intervention relies on the providers and it will cost unnecessary resources and the effect of the common intervention is also limited. It is reported that 95% of Americans have an active smartphone subscription and the wearable devices are becoming more affordable and accurate. Therefore, the optimization of the self-management intervention based on the novel mobile technology can be realized. Thus, the author proposed a mobile software system that combines the portable device, the android app, and the Internet message service in order to provide self-tailor interventions for the users. The core principle of the design is the skills of self-management (problem solving, decision making, resource utilization, the formation of a patient-provider partnership, action planning, and self-tailoring). Multiple functions utilizing sensor data and user's information are designed to assist to provide more information to the users, create a self-tailoring plan and strengthen the relationship between the users and providers. There are two projects, Path2Quit (smoking cessation project) and ADAPT (SMI for mobility impairments), developed based on this system and the results of the pilot tests proved that the efficiency of users' healthful self-management and the satisfaction level of the intervention are increased with the involvement of the software system according to the feedback from the users.
