| description | Personalization is an important factor to increase the user experience (UX) and effectiveness of mHealth solutions. In this paper, we present an innovative approach to the personalization of mHealth apps. A profiling function has been developed based on the physical and psychological characteristics of users, with the final aim to cluster them acting as a guideline to the design and implementation of new functionalities to improve the overall acceptance degree of the app. A preliminary analysis case study has been proposed to evaluate the impact on user experience according to the state of the art to draw useful lessons for future works. |
