A Web-Based Platform (AgileNudge+) to Facilitate Positive Behavioral Change Through Nudge Strategies: A Mixed Methods Feasibility Study
ABSTRACT
Background:
In today’s digital age, web-based applications have become integral to daily life, driving transformative shifts in human behavior. "AgileNudge+” is a web-based solution to catalyze positive behavior change. By leveraging knowledge in behavioral economics, design, and technology, AgileNudge+ utilizes nudging interventions to facilitate long-lasting behavioral changes.
Objective:
This paper describes the design process, methodologies, and feasibility of "AgileNudge+," evaluated by testing usability, user-friendliness, and usefulness.
Methods:
Iterative processes incorporating principles from behavioral economics (nudges) and user experience design were used to design AgileNudge+. Usability testing was used to assess user experience, ease of use, and the overall usefulness of the web-based software.
Results:
Qualitative findings offer a multifaceted evaluation of AgileNudge+'s impact on facilitating positive behavior change. The combination of user feedback coupled with a uniquely Agile design process was able to streamline the development of various nudges to create demand for a new healthcare model within the healthcare delivery system.
Conclusions:
This paper highlights the significance of web-based solutions in fostering positive behavior change. The usability testing validates the software's user-friendliness and usefulness, shedding light on its potential impact.
