Work In Progress: Matching Persuasive Design with Self-Management Needs of Patients with Cardiovascular Diseases - Preliminary Results of A Survey Vignette Experiment.

Cardiovascular diseases constitute an alarming crisis for health care worldwide [1, 2]. Technology-based self-management support is proposed as a potential solution [3]. However, little research has been done to understand how these technologies should be designed so that they can effectively support specific self-management goals of patients [4, 5]. This poster presents the preliminary results of a study that aims to explore expert preferences and insights when matching persuasive design strategies with self-management goals and tasks of patients with cardiovascular diseases.
