AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to develop and evaluate a public health informatics tool called Florence, designed specifically for communicating public health information effectively.
  • It involved a three-phase process: assessing the needs of public health practitioners, designing a user-friendly infographic tool, and testing its feasibility and usability.
  • Results showed that Florence was found to be intuitive and practical for users, highlighting the importance of creating tailored tools for public health communication.

Article Abstract

Objective: To create and evaluate a public health informatics tool, Florence, for communicating information to the public.

Materials And Methods: This user-centered design study included 3 phases: (1) an interview and survey study with public health practitioners to assess needs for creating infographics; (2) the application of assessment findings and public health-motivated design guidelines to the design and development of a public health-specific infographic design tool; and (3) a feasibility and usability study to evaluate the feasibility and usability of the tool.

Results: In phase 1, participants noted the importance of tailoring infographics to an audience and wanted flexible tools along with design guidance to help make fewer design decisions. In phase 2, we developed a prototype tool with: (1) layout and functionality familiar to PH users, (2) quick and intuitive ways to add and modify data in visualizations, and (3) health-focused visual elements. In phase 3, participants found Florence to be usable, providing an intuitive and straightforward experience, and that the focus on public health was useful.

Discussion: Based on needs assessments and existing literature, we created Florence along with public health practitioners to address their domain specific needs, ultimately leading to a tool that participants in our study deemed useful. Future research can build on our work to develop user-centered tools to meet their needs.

Conclusion: Infographics are important for public health communication. Creating user-centered solutions to address the unique needs of public health can support communication efforts.
