Predmety: Interaction design, eHealth, Participatory Action Research, Process and methods, Participatory design, User evaluation
Popis: Conversational agents are increasingly being introduced in healthcare to enhance access to healthcare and address limited healthcare resources. The aim of this study was to explore experiences of a conversational agent for symptom checking and triage tool assessing the urgency and appropriate level of care implemented in public healthcare from a cognitive accessibility perspective.With a Participatory Action Research approach this study includes: 1) A Participatory Cognitive Barrier Walkthrough in workshops with people with cognitive impairment (n=7), product owner representatives (n=4), and researchers (n=5), followed by a workshop for improvement suggestions; 2) A paired interview with healthcare system specialists (n=2).The data from the study was analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, resulting in five themes: ‘The design of the eHealth service created expectations that were not met during interaction; ‘The eHealth service uses a difficult language’; ‘The eHealth service trigger negative emotions and reactions’; ‘The layout and graphic design of the eHealth service is difficult and sometimes misleading’; and ‘The eHealth service lack in trustworthiness’. The findings show the importance of including people with lived experience of cognitive impairment, to expose and find solutions for cognitive accessibility issues
