Positive Behavioral Change Software Design Study
The Positive Behavioral Change Software Design Study spanned three years and focused on developing AgileNudge+, a software tool to facilitate behavioral change in healthcare settings. The study involved interviews and co-design sessions with stakeholders, prototype design, multiple iterations, and usability tests. A key innovation was the integration of AI to reduce process time from 1.5 hours to just 10 minutes, improving accuracy and eliminating the need for users to access nudge libraries. Users can design nudges, create sprints, and track progress to ensure behavior change. My role evolved from UX Designer to UX Researcher and Head of the Design Team, where I led interns and collaborated with various teams. Later, as Project Manager Intern, I coordinated with stakeholders and cross-functional teams to ensure project success.
Music Therapy Technology Classification Study
The Music Therapy Technology Classification Study explored the technological tools used by board-certified music therapists (MT-BCs) across various phases of practice, including Assessment, Treatment Planning, In-Session, Documentation, and Evaluation. Through an online survey sent to 1,951 MT-BCs, we gathered 104 responses that revealed distinct technological practices in each phase. The findings highlight the need for design improvements in HCI for music therapy technologies, including the support of interactive technological ensembles, optimization of tablet-centered systems, and integration with telehealth. These insights offer valuable implications for HCI researchers and designers to better support MT-BCs and enhance their technological practices.
