tl;dr: Major factors are (1) miscommunication with developers at the onset about what data are needed and (2) the relative complexity of working with (non-tabular) digital behavior data.

User engagement with mHealth platforms is key, but few studies evaluate its impact on outcomes. I have some theories on why that may be: link.medium.com/bOMVB5ePoxb #mhealth #digitalhealth #behaviorchange

@hchengdietitian Love how your screenshot captured my time tracker prompt, too. 😂 Gotta log those hours.

#DigitalHealthWeek - @britmarkides and how parents engage with an infant feeding* app is associated with how feeding attitude and behaviour improve 👶 * fussy eating, not breastfeeding - there's more than one issue to think about when feeding babies, go figure 😉

#DigitalHealthWeek - the INROADs online program to reduce anxiety and ETOH use with young adults had sustained outcomes at 6mo \0/ + v. encouraging to see sustained engagement (when it's so easy to lose contact with programs you don't always 'see')

@hchengdietitian Thanks for sharing! Loved your presentation - I forgot to give our team a shoutout for our work evaluating engagement's impact on outcomes.

To get accurate quotes for your website or app, you're going to need to write a specs document. Here's a guide I wrote up specifically for health researchers. #DigitalHealth #mhealth

Today I learned that Tableau doesn't do a great job of cleaning up after itself. I was able to reclaim many GBs after deleting Tableau Prep logs. If you're using Tableau, take a look: community.tableau.com/s/question/0D5… #Tableau #DataAnalytics

Our digital health interventions must address digital access barriers. Here are some tips for web and phone apps: ❇️Must be frugal with data use ❇️Must work offline ❇️Tell participants how much data is used to install ❇️Suggest installing on public wifi #mhealth #digitalhealth

@DrAlissaBurnett @DeakinIPAN @DeakinNutrition Congrats! What a useful resource for parents.

I'd been at a 'wish the update would take longer and ask me to close more programs' this morning, but things are turning around. 😅

On a scale of 1 to 'gleefully accepting Endnote updates,' how much are you procrastinating writing today? #AcademicChatter #PhDChat #PhDvoice

@Jodie3L3enderby @PhDForum @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter Have you directly asked your supervisors for help? They likely have a discretionary fund for research, and this is a very appropriate use. An out-of-the-box idea is to try crowdfunding: experiment.com

Anyone got advice for getting funding to pay participants as a PhD student? Sounds easy finding & applying for funding, but its not, meeting the requirements is harder, or the funding is not for PhDs, anything below £10,000 or big institutions @PhDForum @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter

@sakhawats3 @AcademicChatter @PhD_Genie @PhDForum @PhDVoice Another vote for draw.io! Completely free, integrates with Word, and so flexible.

Hi, plz suggest any good tool to draw flow chart. @AcademicChatter @PhD_Genie @PhDForum @PhDVoice

Lots of digital health intervention grants going in this year... which means lots of Q's about building native apps versus PWAs. If you're also planning a DHI, you can learn about your options in our latest blog. #digitalhealth #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter #mhealth

Excited to be at the #nwa2022 conference to present alongside Texas WIC. We’re sharing the full development and evaluation process for Maya, the Texas WIC Chatbot.

My PhD involved co-designing an app. I had to reach deep into my software developer skillset to get it done - my poster at #ISBNPA2022 showcases this process. This work inspired DHMVP, a no-code solution for real-time co-design and prototyping. Come have a chat and learn more!

I'd be interested to learn if the research teams faced barriers to this during the development process. I think it likely that prototyping iteratively with end users is often put on the chopping block when facing budget limitations and cost constraints. #AcademicChatter #phdchat

A great summary of ways we can improve behavioural intervention design. Interesting to see that 45% of the studies using prototypes didn't directly involve end users in the prototyping process. #AcademicTwitter #mHealth #DigitalHealth mhealth.jmir.org/2022/3/e35799/

@HSkouteris @MaritaHennessy @rachellaws1 @KylieHesketh @ralphmaddison @denneywilson @ProfKCampbell @DeakinIPAN Thank you! 🎊🎉

When the only task left before resubmitting is to reformat references from AMA to APA. Time for another cuppa. #AcademicTwitter #AcWri #AcademicLife
