“…Moreover, we let patients evaluate storyboard of design features in order to create the initial set of guidelines (Figure 2, step 2). 38 This prototype-led research setup is not necessarily part of the person-based approach from the earliest stages. So while we agree that the person-based approach is a highly relevant and valuable addition to theory-based and evidence-based intervention development, the RtD protocol outlined in this protocol seems to add several elements to this approach.…”

ObjectiveTailored communication and information provision is expected to contribute to patient-centred care (PCC) in total hip arthroplasty (THA). In previous research, three subgroups of THA patients were identified that are similar in their clinical, psychological and communication characteristics. Preliminary subgroup-specific design guidelines were also formulated. Using these insights as a starting point, a theoretical framework was developed for tailored information provision and communication using digital applications. This study aims to refine the framework as well as subgroup-specific design guidelines for digital applications.MethodsThis study uses a Research through Design (RtD) approach, generating insights both from the development and evaluation of prototypes in the early design stage. Paper-based prototypes will be made for each subgroup and evaluated with patients and care providers. Semi-structured interviews are held with participants exploring their experiences with the prototype. A quasi-experiment with a non-random control cohort is used to validate the qualitative findings. Post-surgery consultations with and without prototype are videotaped and scored using a structured instrument.ResultsA design diary will be used to summarize design decisions and considerations. Feedback from participants is analysed inductively. Adaptations in subgroup-specific guidelines will be based on comparison of verbal feedback and descriptive statistics from consultations with and without prototype.ConclusionsAlthough mixed-method feasibility studies of digital health interventions are common, this protocol also considers the utility of the early design process and the designer’s perspective for realizing PCC and tailored care.

“…Prior digital patient education studies have been conducted in patients undergoing or recovering from specific procedures, such as total joint arthroplasty and total hip replacement, endovascular aneurysm repair, peripheral angioplasty, catheter insertion procedures, endoscopy, and perioperative interventions, as well as in patients seeking to improve health conditions, including immunosuppression, oral health care, heart disease, lower back pain, asthma, and other conditions. It has been widely concluded that patients in specific medical contexts, receiving relevant content, have improved understanding as well as motivation to adhere to instructions when using digital learning formats, which in turn has led to higher levels of satisfaction among these patients [21,22,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Computer-aided learning has been found to have positive impacts on the knowledge, attitude, behavior, and health of patients [27].…”

BACKGROUND Patient education delivered by a healthcare provider to a patient increases patient understanding and adherence to medical instructions, which helps to improve patient health. Multiple challenges exist to delivering effective patient education to complex patients with multiple chronic conditions, including giving the necessary time, range and types of learning materials, and assessing level of understanding. Electronic means to assist in patient education continue to advance, with the use of mobile devices, interactive media, 3D, and multi-media educational content. OBJECTIVE This study addresses the need for blended learning strategies combining technical and workflow integration of digital patient education systems for patients with chronic conditions within and across the regular process of care. Studies are needed to evaluate the utility and benefits of these technologies for providers and patients alike. METHODS Mixed methods including survey administration to patients (n=178) after receiving digital patient education in person with a healthcare provider, and interviews with providers whom used the mobile digital health education technology (n=16) to deliver instruction to patients. RESULTS Participants who were counseled using blended digital health education reported improved understanding of educational content (p=.034) and chronic health conditions (p<.001); were more motivated to care for themselves at home (p<.001); more likely to say they felt capable of making healthcare decisions with their doctors (p<.001) and on their own (p=.001); and were more likely to report their intention of following their doctor’s instructions (p<.001) than those whose education was not computer-based. CONCLUSIONS Patient education for patients with chronic conditions may be more effective when provided in blended digital formats supervised by a healthcare provider over traditional formats.
