Topics assessed and implications for system design

High-level topic Sub-topic How insights will guide design
Current medication-taking process Perceived medication adherence Which individuals should be targeted; USE-MI adoption may be higher among poor adherers
Current medication storage method What storage methods USE-MI may need to accommodate
Schedule of medication-taking Timing and frequency of gesture-recognition and reminders (affects algorithm design and battery life)
Types of medication dose reminders Whether USE-MI will support or interfere with current reminder approaches
Whether medications are taken with liquid or food Whether the gesture detection algorithms should include liquid or food intake
Physical act of taking medications Hand(s) used to complete medication-taking actions Types of gestures needing to be recognized, preferred wrist for wearing device
Feedback regarding the USE-MI system Preferences for two different wrist-worn devices Choice of wrist-worn device (Microsoft Band, Sony Android Wear Watch)
Preferences for reminder method Choice of reminder method(s) (phone call, email, text, app, on wrist-worn device)
Preferences for summative medication-taking feedback method Choice of summative feedback method (email, portal, app) and recipient (self, physician)
Willingness to adopt the USE-MI system Tailor USE-MI to persons struggling with adherence to HIV-related medications
