The My Diabetes Care Patient Portal Intervention: Usability and Pre-Post Assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

My Diabetes Care (MDC) is a novel, multifaceted patient portal intervention designed to help patients better understand their diabetes health data and support self-management. MDC uses infographics to visualize and summarize patients' diabetes health data, incorporates motivational strategies, and provides literacy level-appropriate educational resources.

Objectives

We aimed to assess the usability, acceptability, perceptions, and potential impact of MDC.

Methods

We recruited 69 participants from four clinics affiliated with Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Participants were given 1 month of access to MDC and completed pre- and post-questionnaires including validated measures of usability and patient activation, and questions about user experience.
