Abstract

Designing effective theory-driven digital behaviour change interventions (DBCI) is a challenging task. To ease the design process, and assist with knowledge sharing and evaluation of the DBCI, we propose the SATO (IDEAS expAnded wiTh BCIO) design workflow based on the IDEAS (Integrate, Design, Assess, and Share) framework and aligned with the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology (BCIO). BCIO is a structural representation of the knowledge in behaviour change domain supporting evaluation of behaviour change interventions (BCIs) but it is not straightforward to utilise it during DBCI design. IDEAS (Integrate, Design, Assess, and Share) framework guides multi-disciplinary teams through the mobile health (mHealth) application development life-cycle but it is not aligned with BCIO entities. SATO couples BCIO entities with workflow steps and extends IDEAS Integrate stage with consideration of customisation and personalisation. We provide a checklist of the activities that should be performed during intervention planning with concrete examples and a tutorial accompanied with case studies from the Cancer Better Life Experience (CAPABLE) European project. In the process of creating this workflow, we found the necessity to extend the BCIO to support the scenarios of multiple clinical goals in the same application. To ensure the SATO steps are easy to follow for the incomers to the field, we performed a preliminary evaluation of the workflow with two knowledge engineers, working on novel mHealth app design tasks.
