User-centered design of feedback regarding health-related behaviors derived from wearables: An approach targeting older adults and persons living with neurodegenerative disease.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

There has been tremendous growth in wearable technologies for health monitoring but limited efforts to optimize methods for sharing wearables-derived information with older adults and clinical cohorts. This study aimed to co-develop, design and evaluate a personalized approach for information-sharing regarding daily health-related behaviors captured with wearables.

Methods

A participatory research approach was adopted with: (a) iterative stakeholder, and evidence-led development of feedback reporting; and (b) evaluation in a sample of older adults (n  =  15) and persons living with neurodegenerative disease (NDD) (n  =  25). Stakeholders included persons with lived experience, healthcare providers, health charity representatives and individuals involved in aging/ND
