Information Experience Design Research To Enhance Personal Health Cognitions

It’s not new to gather personal data and reflect.In the 1990 s,the self-monitoring systems for patients appeared in the field of medicine and clinical.In the early 20 th century,weight scales and pedometers have been transferred from professional scenes such as hospitals to home use,from professional medical data to daily data to meet personal fitness needs.In recent years,with the popularity of low-cost monitoring sensors on mobile devices,various information of the body has been gradually discovered,which were used to realize the data tracking products for realizing healthy life and helping people improve self-management.Research in positive psychology indicates that sustained well-being comes from our actions rather than our possession of property.Therefore,the contribution of products to happiness lies in its influence on behavior change rather than its material value.However,current personal health tracking products did not focus on sustainable user behavior and how to continuously enhance the value of personal meaning.Some studies have pointed out people increasingly doubt the data insight value of these self-tracking technologies.It is due to the abstract statistics and the lack of specific suggestions.And when people are familiar with these daily data values,they not only produce blindness to the data,but also show burnout for long-term use.The subject of this paper comes from "Social Design and Derivative Service Innovation in the Internet+ Era"(16DG63),a research project of the Ministry of Culture,Ministry of Culture,National Arts and Science Planning Program,and "Scenario-based Service Design Study of Personal Data on Mobile Internet"(17YJCZH275),a general project of the Ministry of Education,Humanities and Social Sciences Research.This paper is based on how to meet the information needs of users to track,manage,visualize and use data through information experience design.Specifically,understanding why and how users recognize and use health data.This paper used the related theories and methods of cognitive power in cognitive psychology to transform into design strategies to help users improve decision-making on personal data-assisted behavior.The work of this paper includes:(1)Literature reviewed and the formation of research hypotheses: summarized the data in how users perceive and experience interface design.Research showed that establishing data association and enhancing insight can lead to active information processing and participation.Cognition is a psychological process triggered by users’ data perception.For information experience design,the form of design that gives cognitive elements is a means for users to perceive and recognize through the behavior pattern of information insight.Therefore,this paper proposed the use of cognitive design elements to enhance the user experience.(2)Cognitive experiment and design strategy: through a qualitative study of user diary research,this paper summarized the cognitive elements of personal health data in mobile interface,and discussed the application attributes of cognitive elements in different stages of closed-loop.Through the user evaluation experiment,the hypothesis of the influence of cognitive design elements on user’s emotion perception is verified.From the perspective of user’s emotional cognition,this paper constructed the user oriented information transfer process and user’s emotional perception’s impact on the design of emotional value retrospective design strategy.(3)Case application and practical verification: the usability of design method was verified by practical project cases,and the design scheme and scenario were described.Evaluated and verified the user experience of the optimization scheme.Based on the research position of "How to Bring Information Experience to Data",this article transformed personal health data information from objective statistical visualization to information expression related to human general cognition.Established a preliminary relationship between the cognitive design elements of personal health data and the user’s emotional experience.This paper further verified the feasibility of cognitive design elements in the design of personal health data information interface,and discussed its application in different user scenarios.Experiments showed that,compared with the original interface,the design of personal health data information based on cognitive design elements will bring better data perception to users and improve their emotional experience of using personal data.The contribution of this paper is to propose an information experience design strategy to reflect and assist personal health data decision-making,which is conducive to guide designers to carry out reasonable information design based on different types of data needs.Furthermore,it provides relevant theoretical references for the design of personal health information experience in health wearable,remote monitoring,and multimedia interaction.
