Abstract
Colorectal surgery is a common procedure for bowel cancer, with communication of information playing a key role in
patient surgery preparation and recovery. Previous research has shown that surgery e-health tools are effective in many medical
contexts. With this in mind, an interactive app was developed using an iterative user-centred design and research process and a
multi-methods approach. The aim was to enhance communication between patients and medical staff and empower patients throughout
their recovery. Results showed the superiority of a mobile app in communicating information when compared to a printed booklet,
and to a tablet app variant.
期刊介绍:
Information Design Journal (IDJ) is a peer reviewed international journal that bridges the gap between research and practice in information design. IDJ is a platform for discussing and improving the design, usability, and overall effectiveness of ‘content put into form’ — of verbal and visual messages shaped to meet the needs of particular audiences. IDJ offers a forum for sharing ideas about the verbal, visual, and typographic design of print and online documents, multimedia presentations, illustrations, signage, interfaces, maps, quantitative displays, websites, and new media. IDJ brings together ways of thinking about creating effective communications for use in contexts such as workplaces, hospitals, airports, banks, schools, or government agencies.
