Authors' conclusion
A user-centered mHealth tool consisting of a clinical dashboard linked with a patient-facing app for GDM care and management has been designed. Evaluation of the interactive design by end users was positive and showed that it met their needs.
Study context
- Population
- HCPs, researchers and women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) involved in designing and evaluating an mHealth tool for GDM
- Outcome
- End-user evaluation of MyGDM (questionnaires with women with GDM)
Methodological detailsethnographic observations, semi-structured interviews, iterative feedback groups, questionnaires, Design informed by 11 semi-structured interviews (6 HCPs, 5 women with GDM), 3 feedback groups with 31 participants (17 HCPs, 14 researchers), MyGDM: clinical dashboard highlighting off-target blood glucose and predicting need for pharmacological intervention, linked to patient-facing app with structured education, culturally inclusive language options and meal ideas
