Resumo(s)
Com o avanço tecnológico presente na nossa sociedade ao longo dos últimos anos, tem se assistido à adoção de tecnologias em áreas tão vitais como a da Saúde. Através do acesso a Internet e a dispositivos inteligentes, é possível o utilizador adquirir e partilhar informação em qualquer local e de forma rápida.
Fraturas osteoporóticas são cada vez mais frequentes em idosos e são fatores que determinam o estado da sua saúde. As atuais estratégias de prevenção de uma fratura subsequente incluem medicação própria e a promoção da melhoria da condição física e da saúde óssea, através de alimentação saudável e execução regular de exercícios físicos. No entanto, verifica-se uma baixa adesão dos pacientes a estes tratamentos.
Com o objetivo de superar essa baixa adesão, foi realizada uma colaboração com a NOVA Medical School através do projeto Healthy Bone. Essa colaboração constitui o ponto de partida para a presente dissertação, que passa pela implementação de uma plataforma de streaming com o objetivo de motivar os mais idosos a mudarem os seus comportamentos, optando por uma vida mais saudável e ativa. Esta plataforma disponibiliza conteúdos multimédia educativos, questionários, troca de mensagens e notificações e está acessível via Internet através de um computador, telemóvel ou televisão.
O desenvolvimento deste trabalho seguiu os requisitos dos utilizadores-alvo e é projetado seguindo uma abordagem centrada no utilizador. Também pretende explorar o conceito de streaming nesta faixa etária. Foram realizados testes de usabilidade com 15 participantes que após experienciarem
a Healthy Bone responderam a questionários para avaliar os níveis de usabilidade (SUS), satisfação de interação (QUIS) e aceitação (TAM) da plataforma. Através dos resultados dos testes de usabilidade e dos questionários, foi possível concluir que a plataforma é de fácil uso, intuitiva e importante para o dia-a-dia dos mais idosos.
With the technological advance present in our society over the last few years, we have witnessed the adoption of technologies in vital areas, such as Health. Through access to the Internet and smart devices, the user can acquire and share information anywhere and quickly. Osteopathic fractures are frequent among the elderly and are factors that determine human health, representing a serious public health problem. Current strategies to prevent a subsequent fracture include proper medication and the promotion of physical condition improvement and bone health, through healthy eating and regular physical exercise. Unfortunately, there is a low adherence of patients to these treatments. To overcome these barriers to treatment adherence, a collaboration with NOVA Medical School was carried out through the Healthy Bone project. This collaboration constitutes the starting point for this dissertation, which involves the implementation of a streaming platform to motivate the elderly to change their behaviours, opting for a healthier and more active life. This platform provides educational multimedia content, questionnaires, messaging and notifications and is accessible via the Internet via a computer, smartphone or smart television. This work is developed according to the requirements of our users and designed following a human-centred approach. Also, the concept of streaming for elderly people is essential to explore. Usability tests were carried out with 15 invited participants who, after experiencing Healthy Bone, answered questionnaires to assess the levels of usability (SUS), interaction satisfaction (QUIS) and acceptance (TAM) of the developed platform. The results of usability tests and questionnaires made it possible to conclude that Healthy Bone is easy to use, intuitive and essential for the daily lives of the elderly.
