Results

As we can see, only one participant is not the target user, so the valid sample would be 21. Majority of the participants do not have frequent and regular physical examination due to the inconvenient medical treatment. About 70% participants would accept smart device to help them and 60% would prefer app rather than website. Here are some reasons why they prefer app: It is convenient when I go out home; maybe it can detect health status better; can carry it everywhere; easy to carry when go outside; easy to repair. Most of them agree that the content size of program should be large.

They highly require some functions to the APP, such as Regularly daily health track (i.e heart rate),Consult with clinicians at any time, Send notifications to yourself, Send emergency messages to your families and clinicians, Voice control and so on. Typically, they think that regularly daily health tracking and sending emergency messages to your families and clinicians would be the most important functions of the APP.
