Abstract

In this paper, we describe techniques for predictive modeling of human-computer interaction (HCI) and discuss how they could be used in the development and evaluation of user interfaces for digital health systems such as electronic health record systems. Predictive HCI modeling has the potential to improve the generalizability of usability evaluations of digital health interventions beyond specific contexts, especially when integrated with models of distributed cognition and higher-level sociotechnical frameworks. Evidence generated from building and testing HCI models of the user interface (UI) components for different types of digital health interventions could be valuable for informing evidence-based UI design guidelines to support the development of safer and more effective UIs for digital health interventions.

Abstract

BackgroundAlthough smartphone-based emergency care training is more affordable than traditional avenues of training, it is still in its infancy, remains poorly implemented, and its current implementation modes tend to be invariant to the evolving learning needs of the intended users. In resource-limited settings, the use of such platforms coupled with gamified approaches remains largely unexplored, despite the lack of traditional training opportunities, and high mortality rates in these settings. ObjectiveThe primary aim of this randomized experiment is to determine the effectiveness of offering adaptive versus standard feedback, on the learning gains of clinicians, through the use of a smartphone-based game that assessed their management of a simulated medical emergency. A secondary aim is to examine the effects of learner characteristics and learning spacing with repeated use of the game on the secondary outcome of individualized normalized learning gain. MethodsThe experiment is aimed at clinicians who provide bedside neonatal care in low-income settings. Data were captured through an Android app installed on the study participants’ personal phones. The intervention, which was based on successful attempts at a learning task, included adaptive feedback provided within the app to the experimental arm, whereas the control arm received standardized feedback. The primary end point was completion of the second learning session. Of the 572 participants enrolled between February 2019 and July 2019, 247 (43.2%) reached the primary end point. The primary outcome was standardized relative change in learning gains between the study arms as measured by the Morris G effect size. The secondary outcomes were the participants individualized normalized learning gains. ResultsThe effect of adaptive feedback on care providers’ learning gain was found to be g=0.09 (95% CI −0.31 to 0.46; P=.47). In exploratory analysis, using normalized learning gains, when subject-treatment interaction and differential time effect was controlled for, this effect increased significantly to 0.644 (95% CI 0.35 to 0.94; P

Abstract

First referral hospitals (FRHs) are the hospitals closest to the community, which offer expertise or technologies to complement more widely available 'basic' ambulatory care or inpatient care. Despite having been a subject of interest in global health policy in the latter half of the 20th century, in more recent decades, they appear to have been overshadowed. This paper reviews what is understood by FRH, drawing on both academic and policy literature, complemented by specific country case studies. We undertook three reviews: a grey literature review of global and regional policy reports and documents, a structured review of the academic literature on FRH and a review of FRH-related policies in eight countries. Our findings indicate that there is confusion regarding the definitions and roles of FRH; they have fallen off the policy agenda globally and they suffer from lack of advocates in part related to the absence of cohesive definition. Meanwhile, these facilities continue to fulfil important functions in health systems in low- and middle-income countries, and expectations for service delivery remain high. In light of these findings, this paper calls for renewed interest and investment in FRH from the global health academic and policy-making community. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
