Designing a Case Management Mobile Health App for Violence Intervention Programs: Mixed Methods Human-Centered Design Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Hospital-based violence intervention programs have shown promise in mitigating the effects of violence, but their impact is limited by time constraints and inefficient practices faced by the violence prevention professionals (VPPs) who function as case managers. Mobile health (mHealth) apps offer the potential to enhance communication and service delivery between VPPs and clients, but few have been specifically designed for vulnerable populations.

Objective

This study aims to design an mHealth app to improve communication and access to resources between survivors of violence and their VPPs using human-centered design (HCD) and iterative prototyping methods.

Methods

HCD methodology was used, including rounds of Participatory Design, Low-fidelity Prototype Te
