User-centered preferences for a gait-informed alcohol intoxication app.

ABSTRACT:

Background

mHealth technology can be used as a potential intervention for alcohol-related consequences. Applications designed to monitor alcohol use and relay information to the user may help to reduce risky behavior. Acceptability of such applications needs to be assessed.

Methods

Survey data from 139 participants (29.8 years on average, 58% female) completing a single-session study for developing an application to detect blood alcohol concentration (BAC) from gait was analyzed to examine user preferences. Participants reported on their interest in an application for monitoring BAC from gait. Participants also reported on their preference for controlling features of the application. Acceptability and feasibility data were collected. Data were examined for the entire sample
