The model used to create a pediatric asthma application will be discussed in this presentation. The mHealth application is not on the market and is in testing phase. Therefore, there is no financial conflict of interest to report.
The discussion about the product will be limited to the development process and not the mHealth application itself.

Look back at nursing informatics history…
Introduction of the Electronic Health Record
• Focus: • Adoption, Workflow, Usability, Change Management• Verification and validation
• Continued work:• Coding terminology, standardization• Retrofitting for interoperability

Consult Current Literature

#HIMSS21
What does current literature show?
Scoping Review
• Since Jan 2021, a working group interested in mHealth asked, "How does the literature describe the role of the nurse in mHealth app life cycles?”
• After clarifying terms, 14 databases were searched:CINAHL, Cochrane, Compendex , Education Source, Embase, ERIC, Global Index Medicus, Google Scholar, IEEE Xplore, Medline, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science.
• All literature was screened in stages by two independent screeners using Rayyan Intelligent Systematic Review.
• Preliminary results indicate ~189 articles describe the role of the nurse during the initial stages of the product lifecycle.

Preliminary Findings from the Literature
Themes
• Nurses are mostly involved in the deployment and testing of apps.
• Apps created for nurses or to teach healthcare professionals rely on nurses for content subject matter expertise.
• IEEE literature omits nurses or nurse informaticists in the planning, requirements, design, and development stages, especially for patients and consumers products.

How are mobile apps developed today?
Mental Health and Wellness App
• Commercially available, dynamic app
• Developed with subject matter experts from the mental health industry• Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Therapists, and others
• Rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• No nurses involved in the development of the app, but potential to explore
involving nurse practitioners in the future

Pediatric Asthma Self-Management App
• Developed by an interdisciplinary team including nurse informaticists, subject matter expert, graphic & instructional designer, programmer, systems engineer.
• Used agile systems XP approach with intervention mapping protocol (Bartholomew) with a SIMILAR process
• Participatory action approach to engage end users (school nurses, families, children, providers)

• Used a scrum agile approach based on discussion
• Conducted focus groups with children and parents during the planning stage to determine functions and features needed
• Team is interdisciplinary based on authorship of article but heavily directed by physicians (nurses, physicians, media and communication)

How are mobile apps developed today?
18
Iterative & Incremental Sequential
Reflects stages of development Rapid to a prototype
Feedback from end users throughout process End users evaluate the completed prototype
Takes longer to develop May require extensive revisions
Feedback for content, functionality, usability, scalability, interoperability
Non-cooperative with customer or end-user
More time spent planning than coding & testing
Testing rushed and costly to fix
