Abstract
Abstract
Diabetes harms millions of people and causes them long-term health complications that can lead to disabilities and/or death. Diabetes self-management technology solutions concerning behavioral changes have been presented as potential methods to enhance diabetes self-management and self-efficacy and ensure efficiency. Previous research on diabetes self-management has lacked emphasis on patients’ abilities to use technology, the design and development of an artifact, and cultural dependency. We will use multi-method, multi-theoretical approaches as our study objectives along two dimensions: 1) Understand the impediments to diabetes self-management with a focus on the challenges patients face in raising the efficiency of using technology, and 2) Design, develop, and evaluate an artifact. The goal of the artifact is to induce behavioral change to improve patients’ technology self-efficacy and expectations regarding self-management. In this study, we are basing our artifact on Information system design theory (ISDT) and information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB), which will allow us to create the appropriate artifact to meet patients’ expectations and encourage behavioral changes.
