Using Human-Centered Design and Development to Create a Digital Sick Day Medication Guidance Application for People With Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, or Chronic Kidney Disease: Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease are associated with high morbidity and costs of care. Medications can reduce long-term complications but may contribute to complications such as hypoglycemia and acute kidney injury during acute illnesses. Sick day medication guidance (SDMG) could help prevent these adverse events, but evidence for effective strategies to deliver this guidance is lacking.

Objective

We iteratively designed and developed a digital prototype user interface (UI) to deliver SDMG for patient self-management. The application, called "Preventing medication complications during AcUte illness through Symptom Evaluation and sick day guidance" (PAUSE), delivers personalized knowledge and self-management guidance directly to patients
