Interventions

  • CardioCare Quest — BEHAVIORAL
    CardioCare Quest will be the first telehealth game designed to enhance High Blood Pressure (HBP) treatment compliance and education about HBP, featuring a telemetry system that provides physicians and researchers data about sustainable healthy heart lifestyles beyond the clinic. The novelty of CardioCare Quest lies in its ability to compel HBP patients to playfully celebrate the mundane everyday practices that lead to sustainable habits and improved health outcomes using culturally sensitive and community-based design practices.

Study Details

This project aims to address healthcare disparities among Navaho people diagnosed with hypertension or prehypertension through three main objectives. Firstly, it identifies and shares insights on healthcare access disparities affecting Navaho individuals experiencing nonadherence to hypertension treatment. Secondly, the proposal develops a telehealth solution based on factors identified as knowledge gaps caused by healthcare access disparities in hypertension management; we will use the factors to design a series of engaging minigames that can be incorporated into the larger CardioCare Quest. These minigames will be co-designed with end users and clinicians. Finally, the proposal conducts comprehensive qualitative and quantitative assessments of user experiences, perceptions, and challenges with CardioCare Quest.

Arms

  • Experimental: Determine the impact of CardioCare Quest's telehealth interventions
    This project will employ a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods within quarters 4 to 8. The quantitative method includes using the Motivation, Engagement, and Thriving in User Experience (METUX), health measures (i.e., blood pressure measurements), and telemetry to assess user engagement, adherence rates, and health outcomes in CardioCare Quest. The qualitative method will be used to identify key constructs such as motivation, engagement, and overall well-being and choose relevant metrics for each construct, including surveys for motivation, thematic analysis of quotes for engagement, and experience sampling for well-being.
