“…This is based on the persuasive technology theory 67 to achieve desirable change by reinforcing behaviour and attitude of health and wellness. 68 This theory is able to affect users’ emotions and build trust in the technology so that they will integrate technology into their daily lives and continue to use it for a long period. 69 …”

Objective This study aimed to design, develop, assess and refine the EMPOWER-SUSTAIN Self-Management Mobile App© among primary care physicians (PCP) and patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in primary care. Methodology Using the software-development-life-cycle (SDLC) iterative model, storyboard and wireframe were drafted; and a mock prototype was designed to illustrate the content and function graphically. Subsequently, a working prototype was developed. Qualitative studies using the ‘think-aloud’ and cognitive-task-analysis methods were conducted for the utility and usability testing. Topic guide was based on the 10-Nielsen's-Heuristic-Principles. Utility testing was conducted among PCP in which they ‘thought-aloud’ while performing tasks using the mobile app. Usability testing was conducted among MetS patients after they were given the app for 3 weeks. They ‘thought-aloud’ while performing tasks using the app. Interviews were audio- and video-recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Thematic content analysis was performed. Result Seven PCP and nine patients participated in the utility and usability testing, respectively. Six themes (efficiency of use, user control and freedom, appearance and aesthetic features, clinical content, error prevention, and help and documentation) emerged. PCP found the mobile app attractive and relevant sections were easy to find. They suggested adding ‘zoom/swipe’ functions and some parts needed bigger fonts. Patients commented that the app was user-friendly, has nice interface, and straightforward language. It helped them understand their health better. Based on these findings, the mobile app was refined. Conclusion This app was produced using a robust SDLC method to increase users’ satisfaction and sustainability of its use. It could potentially improve self-management behaviour among MetS patients in primary care.

“…Furthermore, although only a few studies are working on wearable technology, at least Ferraro et. al [23] incorporate persuasive and wearable design principles in their persuasive wearable system. The system is intended to motivate the workers to wear personal protective equipment (PPEs) and increase their awareness regarding work-related risks and health status.…”

“…From the pre-analysis, it can be concluded that most previous studies were found focusing on the health [7], [20][21], [22][23][24][25][26], education [18][19], [21], [27][28][29][30][31][32][33], and environmental [34][35] context. On top of that, it was observed that the trend of technology used is computer-based [17][18][19], [21], [28][29][30], [32][33], [35], mobile [20], [22][23][24][25], [26][27], [33] and wearable [7], [23][24], [31]. Moreover, most previous studies intended to change users' behaviour with various target outcomes.…”

Many studies, to varying degrees, have confirmed the importance of persuasive approaches in wearable technology. Meanwhile, there are also a growing number of studies in persuasive multimedia, particularly in promoting awareness. Also, many studies reported on wearable multimedia, especially in game-based and VR/AR applications. Given the increasing emergence of these technologies, there is a need to integrate existing diverse research endeavours and consolidate them for improved planned effects on human attitude and behaviour, including one's awareness. However, a similar attempt to incorporate a triad of persuasive, multimedia and wearable design principles toward improved controllability awareness lacks empirical evidence. Here, this study explores the design principles of persuasive, multimedia and wearable technologies that can be leveraged into an integrated design model, especially in promoting controllability awareness of mental health issues. Moreover, this study believes exploring the potential integration of the design principles would significantly impact the application's effectiveness. Therefore, this study conducted a comparative analysis which involved 20 relevant studies pertinent to wearable design principles, persuasive design principles, and multimedia design principles. Furthermore, all identified studies were reviewed regarding the domain, the technology used, target outcomes, and utilisation of the design principles. As a result, this study discovered that many studies were on integrating persuasive and multimedia design principles and persuasive and wearable technologies. Therefore, the outcome of this study could be leveraged to incorporate all three design principles (i.e., wearable, persuasive technology, multimedia) into a conceptual model. The conceptual model is expected to produce a more effective result, especially in enhancing controllability awareness in the mental health domain.
