  Virtual care comprising virtual visits and monitoring via audio or video has the potential to reduce access barriers to care and has been successfully implemented in prenatal care. It reduces the frequency of in-person visits and increases self-care skills. However, the knowledge and competence in handling monitoring equipment at home directly influences satisfaction and engagement with the system and the quality of the information provided to healthcare professionals. Therefore, providing ad-hoc training to end-users would help develop confidence in using devices at home correctly. This paper proposes an augmented reality (AR) application to guide and train pregnant women to use monitoring devices. The aim is to instruct pregnant women to use the monitoring devices and follow the video guidelines for handling them correctly. It validates pregnant women's encouragement and ability to self-care for their pregnancy.

  Introduction: Exploitation of telehealth in prenatal care has the potential to reduce the access barrier to care and empower women to participate in their own care. This review aims to assess the practical implications of virtual prenatal care and identify the needs and experiences associated with it. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted in four electronic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Cochrane. The keywords used were “pregnancy”, “virtual visit”, “prenatal”, and others. The search included all relevant studies published from 2011 to 2021 written in English. Articles mentioning virtual prenatal care incorporating synchronous communication between pregnant women and health care professionals were included. Those unrelated to prenatal care or employing asynchronous means of virtual care were excluded. The review was structured following the PRISMA guidelines. Different quality appraisal methods such as JBI, CASP, NOS, and Cochrane were used to assess the methodological quality of the literature. The data were then analyzed based on the categorization of the studies. Results: Overall, 2863 articles were identified, of which 19 met the inclusion criteria after removing duplicates, screening of abstracts, and full text—four articles identified from hand-searching were incorporated, making a total of 23 eligible articles for the review. The studies’ findings revealed the preference for implementing costeffective virtual care based on the resource set, technological literacy, and consistent accessibility. Further, no significant differences in clinical outcomes were observed between two modes of care, virtual and in-person. The higher satisfaction by pregnant women and healthcare professionals indicated the continuity of the care. In addition, the hybrid model of virtual prenatal care integrated with traditional in-person care was acceptable to both low-risk and high-risk pregnant women. Virtual prenatal care substantially reduced travel time and absences from work, drops in clinic wait time and no-show rate, limited the risk of exposure during a pandemic, and increased self-accountability. Conclusion: Virtual prenatal care offers predominant advantages over in-person when it is carefully designed with the inclusion of pregnant women and healthcare professionals’ needs. Evidence showed that providing adequate technology training, proper instruction, and guidelines for initial setup and assurance of a reliable and accessible system is vital in increasing access to care.

  Background: Regular physical activity (PA), healthy habits, and an appropriate diet are recommended guidelines to maintain a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle can help to avoid chronic diseases and long-term illnesses. A monitoring and automatic personalized lifestyle recommendation system (i.e., automatic electronic coach or eCoach) with considering clinical and ethical guidelines, individual health status, condition, and preferences may successfully help participants to follow recommendations to maintain a healthy lifestyle. As a prerequisite for the prototype design of such a helpful eCoach system, it is essential to involve the end-users and subject-matter experts throughout the iterative design process. Methods: We used an iterative user-centered design (UCD) approach to understend context of use and to collect qualitative data to develop a roadmap for self-management with eCoaching. We involved researchers, non-technical and technical, health professionals, subject-matter experts, and potential end-users in design process. We designed and developed the eCoach prototype in two stages, adopting diferent phases of the iterative design process. In design workshop 1, we focused on identifying end-users, understanding the user’s context, specifying user requirements, designing and developing an initial low-fdelity eCoach prototype. In design workshop 2, we focused on maturing the low-fdelity solution design and development for the visualization of continuous and discrete data, artifcial intelligence (AI)-based interval forecasting, personalized recommendations, and activity goals. Results: The iterative design process helped to develop a working prototype of eCoach system that meets end-user’s requirements and expectations towards an efective recommendation visualization, considering diversity in culture, quality of life, and human values. The design provides an early version of the solution, consisting of wearable technology, a mobile app following the “Google Material Design” guidelines, and web content for self-monitoring, goal setting, and lifestyle recommendations in an engaging manner between the eCoach app and end-users. Conclusions: The adopted iterative design process brings in a design focus on the user and their needs at each phase. Throughout the design process, users have been involved at the heart of the design to create a working.

  Typically, routine prenatal care includes several in-person visits with healthcare professionals by pregnant women, where fetal and maternal assessments are performed. This paper proposes an architectural framework for prenatal care using non-invasive, simple, and low-cost internet of things (IoT) monitoring system. The aim is to design an IoT-based architecture that serves as a fundamental system for self-imperative care in regular pregnancy check-ups in the comfort of the home that offers routine prenatalscreening tests. The system provides easy access to care regardless of the location and internet availability. We implemented preliminary architecture with simulated sensor data for blood pressure monitoring.

  Many with intellectual disabilities (ID) have difficulties adhering to current physical activity guidelines. The goal of this study was to develop a mobile app for assisting people with ID to be more physically active. We implemented a solution that combines the digital and real world using augmented reality (AR). Eight people working with people with ID (special education teachers, social workers, psychologists, and researchers) tested the app and completed a usability test. Results indicate that a mobile app focusing on everyday life scenarios can have a potential value for the targeted user group, but AR solutions can be challenging.

  As acknowledged by the World Health Organization (WHO), the demographic development shows that by 2030, 8 out of the 10 foremost causes of death will be connected to risk conditions of lifestyle diseases, regardless of gender. Chronic illness associated with modifiable lifestyle factors will be accountable for the highest death worldwide. Health behavior change should be given priority to avoid serious reparations. An Electronic Coach (e-Coach) system can empower people to achieve a healthy lifestyle with early risk predictions and appropriate tailored lifestyle recommendations. Research in eHealth has the potential to provide methods in order to improve personal healthcare with Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). An Electronic Health (e-Health) virtual coaching recommendation system can monitor people and convey the appropriate recommendations in context with enough time to prevent, ameliorate the living with non-communicable or lifestyle diseases. This paper addresses the potential of selected emerging information and communication technologies to make e-Health systems smarter, more collaborative and more efficient. As a result of the analysis, a reference design is discussed here to develop and validate the performance of a smart e-Coach system utilizing ICT, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to provide individual lifestyle recommendations aiming at a healthier lifestyle to prevent obesity and overweight. The healthcare sector is still looking for collaborative, user-friendly, optimized, cost-effective, reliable systems for health e-Coaching with contextual, tailored lifestyle recommendations and our current research is focused on its implementation and validation, considering obesity and overweight as a case study.

  Compared with the general population, people with intellectual disabilities have worse health, lower levels of activity, and greater barriers to participating in fitness activities. Regular physical activity has positive effects on cardiovascular and psychosocial health and thus it is important to identify effective interventions for people with intellectual disabilities in everyday settings. In this position paper we present the design and development of prototypes of game-based eHealth solutions for behaviour change and health promotion by influencing physical activity. Participatory design and agile development have been applied in this project to deliver a system based on three solutions to promote, motivate and maintain physical activity in people with intellectual disabilities: Guided in-door bicycle exercise, guided out-door exercise and guided mild workouts. All the solutions provide virtual environments and motivation features adapted to people with intellectual disabilities for better engagement.

  A core of the education of medicine and nursing students is to understand, learn and train the use of clinical procedures. Health professionals are required to apply existing clinical procedures and acquire new ones as they are developed and incorporated into clinical practice. In order to improve clinical effectiveness and increase patient safety, these clinical procedures would ideally be easily accessible and provide a didactic explanation of the steps to be followed. In this way, digital clinical procedure libraries provide health professionals and students a useful tool for learning and practice. In this context, the International Bilateral Research and Innovation Cooperation (INT-BILAT) project on evidence-based interactive clinical systems aims at studying the usability and learnability of clinical procedures libraries in a health transnational context. This paper presents early stages of the research including the results of a survey among health professionals about using electronic clinical procedure libraries or guidelines at work. The research argues that electronic procedure libraries are a steppingstone of experiential learning in healthcare education and practice, where clinical procedures are learned through experience, reflection and conceptualisation. The analysis of the survey’s answers and interviews showed the need for an enhanced digital clinical library with interactive features, drawing from immersive techniques and perspective taking (e.g., video guidelines, self-paced video instructions). The next steps of the research include a game design framework outline using immersion techniques for learners and practitioners.

  Touchscreen assistive technology is designed to support speech interaction between visually disabled people and mobile devices, allowing hand gestures to interact with a touch user interface. In a global perspective, the World Health Organisation estimates that around 285 million people are visually disabled with 2/3 of them over 50 years old. This paper presents the user evaluation of VoiceOver, a built-in screen reader in Apple Inc. products, with a detailed analysis of the gesture interaction, familiarity and training by visually disabled users and the system response. Six participants with prescribed visual disability took part in the tests in a usability laboratory under controlled conditions. Data were collected and analysed using a mixed methods approach, with quantitative and qualitative measures. The results showed that the participants found most of the hand gestures easy to perform, although they reported inconsistent responses and lack of information associated to several functionalities. User training on each gesture was reported as key to allow participants to perform certain difficult or unknown gestures. The paper also reports on how to perform mobile device user evaluations in a laboratory environment and provides recommendations on technical and physical infrastructure.

  Anticoagulation therapy with Warfarin is used for specific cardiovascular diseases to control the ability of blood clotting. Traditional ways of selfmanagement therapy are based on paper forms and procedures. This paper presents an evaluation of the smartphone application Warfarin Guide, a computer-assisted decision-support system used to help patients in their management of anticoagulation therapy related to International Normalized Ratio (INR) values. The evaluation consisted of a usability test with 4 participants and a field test with 14 participants who used the application at home during four months. A mixed methods research approach included quantitative and qualitative analysis of the test results. The results showed that participants evaluated the Warfarin Guide as ‘useful’ for self-management of anticoagulation therapy, reporting key issues for further improvement.

  In Norway, a recent health reform urged municipalities to prepare for telecare alarm services to handle alarms associated to welfare technology and telecare technology in citizens’ homes. That requires a re-organisation of health and social services in many municipalities and several are preparing to establish new telecare alarm services operated in inter-municipal response centres. In this context, the research project “Model for Telecare Alarm Services” aims to study how existing telecare alarm services in Norwegian municipalities are organised and operated, and identify critical factors when designing new models for future services. This paper presents how an innovative simulation of health care services was used in the research project, when key informants from several municipalities, research partners and industry tested different models of telecare alarm services in a usability laboratory. The lessons learned by the research group showed that laboratory simulation was an efficient way of testing different scenarios of new telecare service models, together with key informants from heterogenous end-user groups.

  In Norway, a recent health reform targeting coordination and continuity of care has urged municipalities to manage telecare alarms related to an increasing number of welfare- and sensor technologies in citizens’ homes. In this context, the research project “Model for Telecare Alarm Services” has the aim to study the organization and operation of existing telecare alarm services and identify new service models of the future. In the project, simulation of health care services was used when key informants from municipalities, end-users, research partners and industry tested different models for future telecare alarm services. This paper presents the technical and physical infrastructure of a clinical laboratory environment for simulation of health care services, with recommendations based on experiences from the project.

  Geolocation technologies are used in location-based alarm systems to provide the geographical location of a target on a represented space in real time. These technologies are becoming part of the welfare technology strategy of Norwegian municipalities to help citizens by knowing their physical location at a specific time. This paper presents a usability study with 11 participants of a new version of a geolocation alarm system installed in several Norwegian municipalities. The evaluation comprised usability tests and exploratory sessions with representatives of two user groups: operators and administrators of the alarm system. The evaluation found minor and major errors in the software and hardware components of the system, but none catastrophic. The findings informed a subsequent iteration of development of the system that addressed the errors found in the usability evaluation. The updated version of the system has been recently deployed in around 50 Norwegian municipalities.

  Touchscreen assistive technology is designed to support speech interaction between visually disabled people and mobile devices, allowing the use of a choreography of gestures to interact with a touch user interface. This paper presents the evaluation of VoiceOver, a screen reader in Apple Inc. products, made in the research project Visually impaired users touching the screen- A user evaluation of assistive technology together with six visually disabled test participants. The aim was to identify challenges related to the performance of the gestures for screen interaction and evaluate the system response to the gestures. The main results showed that most of the hand gestures were easy to perform for the test participants. The system adequately responded to gesture interaction, but some inconsistent responses associated to several functionalities and lack of information were found.

  In Norway, a health reform was recently adopted to improve continuity of care. Services that were carried out in hospitals were transferred to municipalities. Small and medium size municipalities have established inter-municipal cooperation to provide specialized services across borders. The research project eHealth-extended Care Coordination studied the inter-municipal cooperation for assessment of dementia, identifying a need for improved communication and coordination. This paper presents the development process of a collaborative information system for dementia assessment using a user-centered design approach. Mixed methods, such as observations, semi-structured interviews and questionnaire, were used for data collection. The results showed that end-user involvement usefully informed the development. The information system effectively supported collaborative work and shared access to information for the inter-municipal team.

  Recent health reforms in Norway have produced changes at all levels of the health sector, bringing to light a need for technology solutions explicitly designed for enhancing end-user collaboration. Telemedicine technology can support in this context new services that enable communication across local borders, optimizing resources and increasing cost effectiveness. This study focuses on the user-centered design, iterative development and evaluation of the user interface of a mobile application for a new telemedicine service for remote monitoring of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. The tablet device application was developed based on information gathered in a workshop and group interviews where the end-users, e.g., patients and health professionals, described their preferred way of interacting with the telemedicine technology. User evaluations showed positive results on the ease of use and user satisfaction regarding the interaction with the application. Application’s user interface refinements were made iteratively through several end-users’ evaluations, resulting in a fully developed system suitable for remote monitoring of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. Furthermore, the process led to the deployment of a telemedicine system, adopted by the partners of the project United4Health as part of the 7th Framework Programme for Research of the European Union.

  Mobile technologies’ touchscreen allows the use of choreography of gestures to interact with the user interface. Relevant aspects in mobile technology design become crucial when targeting users with disabilities. For instance, when assistive technology is designed to support speech interaction between visually impaired users and a system, accessibility and ease-of-use of such technology should be included in the usability and technical evaluation of their effectiveness. This paper presents the analysis of the technical and physical infrastructure of a controlled laboratory environment for user evaluations made in the research project “Visually impaired users touching the screen - A user evaluation of assistive technology” where VoiceOver, a screen reader in Apple Inc. products was tested. The paper reports on challenges related to the use of the test infrastructure, such as how to obtain valuable data when interactive high-speed gestures are performed and how to optimise the recording and syn-chronisation between audio and video data. The lessons learned by the research group showed that there are effective alternatives for each challenge, and these should be customised for each particular test, type of participants and device.

  Telemedicine applications have the potential to enhance patient’s safety at home by remote monitoring of chronic diseases. Telemedicine involves the interaction between multiple user groups through a system, making the usability aspect of such system crucial for the continuous, efficient and satisfactory use of the application. The main objective of this study was to carry out a usability evaluation in the field of a telemedicine application for remote monitoring of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients to improve the application’s user interface before system deployment. A field trial was performed with six COPD patients at their homes, continuously using the system’s application on a tablet for seven days. The usability evaluation identified 23 usability problems related to users’ interactions and system’s functionality. These problems were solved with the refinement of the system through an iterative application development process. The outcome of the study was the improved telemedicine application that was adopted by the partners of the FP7 EU project United4Health.

  The Norwegian Health sector is undergoing changes at all levels due to recent health reforms. Services traditionally offered by specialized health care are being transferred to primary health care managed by municipalities. In this context, telemedicine technology is introduced to facilitate new services that support communication across local borders, optimizing resources and increasing cost effectiveness. This study focuses on the user-centred design, iterative development and evaluation of the user interface of a mobile application to be used in a new telemedicine service for remote monitoring of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease symptoms. The research is a result of the cooperation between a municipality and a hospital as part of the European Commission project United4Health. Through a user-centred design approach, the tablet device application was developed based on information gathered in a workshop and group interviews where the end-users, patients and health professionals, described their preferred way of interacting with the telemedicine technology. User evaluations reported positive results on the ease of use and user satisfaction with the interaction with the application. Iterative application’s user interface refinements were made through several end-users’ evaluations, resulting in a fully developed system suitable for remote monitoring.

  In the Norwegian Health sector there are currently undergoing changes at local, regional and national level triggered by recent health reforms. Municipalities are facing for first time the duty of implementing new primary health services. Inter-municipal coordination (IMC) health care teams have been created to operate across borders to share costs, extend geographical range of operation and optimise resources. This study focuses on the development and evaluation of the user interface (UI) functional prototype of a collaborative information system for IMC dementia team in Norway. Employing a user-centred design approach, the interface prototype was built based on the information gathered on two workshops where the end-users described their current clinical workflow of dementia assessment and how the UI would best fit into their daily work. The outcome of the workshops creatively informed the design of a working prototype that was qualitatively usability tested. Results showed that the UI effectively and efficiently supported the work of the IMC dementia team, with a sufficient level of satisfaction among the end-users. The resulting prototype established the foundation for the system implemented in the FP7 EU project United4Health.

  In Norway, many citizens’ services are exclusively or at least delivered online. They usually require sufficient knowledge to use information and communication technologies (ICT). As part of an Interreg IV European project focused on e-inclusion for elderly, this work presents a study to map computer and Internet use among the elderly. The study was carried out in a small municipality of 10 000 inhabitants in Southern Norway, of whom15% were 65-year-olds or older. 178 replies out of 500 were obtained. Results showed that 9 out of 10 had access to and frequently used a computer at home. However, there still was 1 out of 5 who did not make effective use of ICT. Importantly, half of the respondents reported to have learned how to use the Internet through attending specific courses and others through guidance from relatives or acquaintances. Answers about monitoring technologies were practically oriented towards considering that topics, such as security and privacy, could have a subordinate role if the technology was used for a good and fair purpose. This work provides an insight into the current access to and use of computer and Internet, which becomes useful to inform ICT use policies among elderly population

  The problem: Around 300 million African girls and women are at risk from the poverty related disease, Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS), 400 million are at risk from cervical cancer in the lower part of the uterus. Most of these people live in Sub-Saharan Africa. The symptoms from FGS are similar to those from cervical cancer and sexually transmitted infections. Women with FGS infected tissue (lesions), have obscure bloody and unpleasant smelling discharge. They could also be in pain and be at higher risk for HIV and Human papillomavirus, a sexually transmitted family of viruses. FGS is best diagnosed by directly looking at the shape and colour of the lesion at the point-of care. The problem is that this visual diagnosis is difficult to master because the lesion looks similar to lesions caused by cervical cancer and other diseases. Therefore, health professionals need several weeks of training where the disease is seen frequently, and often they need a colposcope (a microscope fitted with a light) to recognize FGS. Worldwide, there are only a handful of health professionals who are proficient in FGS diagnosis. The solution: • The sophisticated colposcopes are not readily available in rural areas. Thus, a Greek partner in our project has developed a simple version of the colposcope and linked it to a smartphone to take pictures of the lesions. Software in the smartphone will compare these pictures with stored pictures of cervical cancer and FGS and determine if the woman undergoing the procedure has one of these diseases or not. Our colposcope uses light that is able to penetrate the tissue and possibly see eggs placed there by the Bilharzia worm which causes FGS. The software designed by our Greek partner was originally intended for cervical cancer recognition and is used for this in some countries. It will be adapted and validated for FGS diagnosis in this project. • Health professionals do not know FGS. What we will do: • In three countries with different routines for gynaecological investigations of women, we will conduct a clinical trial. The ultimate aim is a local production of the mentioned diagnostic tool. With lessons learnt from the COVID-19 pandemic, an eLearning course will be designed and tested. Equipment, consultations and training will be adapted to practical realities (such as unstable electricity, internet, and cultural considerations). As recommended by the WHO, the diagnosis should be at the point-of- care. • We will develop Africa-wide scalable training and an interdisciplinary research team will work on policy briefs and management protocols. This is a thrust to promote health for women, clinical research and digitalization for vulnerable populations. Clinicians and inter-disciplinary scientists will receive training in FGS research methodology. We will evaluate the procedures, and their impact on women. PhD and Masters’ students will receive training and the international collaboration will be between three African and three European countries. This project is funded by the European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 /ERC Grant agreement no. 101057853 (DUALSAVE- FGS).

  The transformation and digitalisation of health and care services foresees a need for recruitment of young individuals having a combination of health- and computer science knowledge to contribute in the workforces of the future. At the University of Agder in Norway there has been an eHealth Centre since year 2010 [1], where both already implemented and proposed eHealth services can be simulated and tested. In the project High School Students as Co-researchers in eHealth, experienced researchers allowed high school students to be enrolled in a project course to actively play and test an eHealth scenario. This paper aims at sharing the experiences on how the pilot of a class consisting of 10 high school students at the age of 17-19 years, were taught eHealth through role-play and simulation in the eHealth Centre. The research question stated was: How to introduce high school students to eHealth research and services in a life-long learning perspective?

  Evidence-based health promotion programs implement clinical practice guidelines built upon results of clinical trials with a definite number of participants, collected during a specific period of time. Wearable technologies allow for continuous observation of wellness parameters of multiple citizens, combined with monitoring of activities and context parameters involved in citizens’ wellness. A statistical inference model can describe the relation between multidimensional activities and context parameters, the wellness of an individual and a comparable reference group, utilizing machine learning techniques and knowledge from continuous observations of multiple citizens. This paper presents a holistic concept of a coach system, namely eCoach, that combines specialized medical evidence available from randomized control trials, with individual and reference knowledge to create and reinforce wellness-based recommendations. The eCoach adapts these recommendations in a continuous personalized coaching dialog addressing citizen’s needs and preferences.

  End-user involvement is a central part in the strategy of public and private organisations to generate user-driven innovative solutions to real-world problems. The Living lab concept is an instrument to create user-centered solutions, with almost 400 recognized in the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) since 2006. Living labs cover diverse topics, such as smart-cities, innovative learning and digital health. A national initiative in Southern Norway has funded the Agder Living Lab (ALL) for eHealth, a user-centered innovation environment participated by multisectorial public and private partners. ALL implements a quadruple-helix model represented by citizens, industry, academia and government, offering an experimental arena for universal design to implement welfare technology, eHealth, telemedicine and mobile health solutions. ALL aims to catalyse inclusive innovation in the health sector by creating a multidisciplinary space where end-users (citizen, patient, relative, health professional) and health services can be interlinked making technology accessible and usable to everybody.

  This study presents the user-centred design and evaluation process of a Collaborative Information System (CIS), developed for a new Telehealth service for remote monitoring of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients after hospital discharge. The CIS was designed based on the information gathered in a workshop, where target end-users described the context of use, a Telehealth workflow and their preferred ways of interaction with the solution. Evaluation of the iterative refinements were made through user tests, semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire. A field trial reported results on the ease of use and user satisfaction during the interaction with the fully developed system. The implemented CIS was successfully deployed within the secured Norwegian Health Network. The research was a result of cooperation between international partners within the EU FP7 project United4Health.
