“…As indicated by Ammann et al computer mediated health intervention and health promotions are possible for older individuals [92] and online patient education could assist in promotion of health behavioural change. This will assist consumer empowerment in their healthcare management [93]. This study has its limitations.…”

Patient education plays an important role in chronic disease management. The aim of this study is to identify patients' preferences in regard to the design features of effective online patient education (OPE) and the benefits. A review of the existing literature was conducted in order to identify the benefits of OPE and its essential design features. These design features were empirically tested by conducting survey with patients and caregivers. Reliability analysis, construct validity and regression analysis were performed for data analysis. The results identified patient-tailored information, interactivity, content credibility, clear presentation of content, use of multimedia and interpretability as the essential design features of online patient education websites for chronic disease management.

“…AHP has been widely employed in different fields such as education [22] and health [23], [24] for complex decision making problems. AHP enables the elicitation and prioritization of users’ needs by aggregating the opinion of domain experts providing a quantitative measure of their opinions and level of agreement.…”

Childhood obesity is becoming one of the 21st century’s most important public health problems. Nowadays, the main treatment of childhood obesity is behavior intervention that aims at improve children’s lifestyle to arrest the disease. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have not been widely employed in this intervention, and most of existing ICTs systems are not having a long-term effect. The purpose of this paper is to define a system to support family-based intervention through a state-of-the-art analysis of family-based interventions and related technological solutions first, and then using the analytic hierarchy process to derive a childhood obesity family-based behavior intervention model, and finally to provide a prototype of a system called OB CITY. The system makes use of applied behavior analysis, affective computing technologies, as well as serious game and gamification techniques, to offer long term services in all care dimensions of the family-based behavioral intervention aiming to provide positive effects to the treatment of childhood obesity.

“…Of the 435 sources identified, zero specifically investigated the use of AHP for inclusive housing development. While two studies that closely met the selection criteria focused on the use of an AHP to identify important factors relating to health services for specialised populations, namely, empowering elderly people to be actively involved in their health (Fico, Gaeta, Arredondo, & Pecchia, 2015), and identifying risk factors which contribute to falls in elderly populations (Pecchia, Bath, Pendleton, & Bracale, 2011). An updated identical search was conducted on the 5th April 2017 to identify all relevant articles published since the initial search.…”

The lack of inclusive housing options across the developed world means that many people with disability reside in housing which does not meet their physical and cognitive accessibility requirements, as well as their social and health care needs. This situation is partly due to a) a lack of understanding by designers and developers about what consumers want from their housing beyond the necessary physical access features and b) lack of multidisciplinary understanding of the various decisions or motivating drivers that might result in a development opportunity. In order to provide some decision clarity for the complex area of inclusive housing development, an AHP was used to determine the key priorities across a multidisciplinary group of stakeholders, including architects and designers, builders, disability service organisation professionals, and occupational therapists and access consultants. Despite some discipline variability, AHP results indicated three key drivers common to all stakeholder groups, namely, 'connectedness of end users', 'feasibility' and 'building specifications'. The findings assert the importance of considering the needs of end users for inclusive housing development, a consideration that is often overlooked. The findings of this study will assist development of a resource manual to assist industry throughout inclusive housing development decision-making.
