AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigated how tilting anthropomorphic app icons affects users' perceptions of their vividness through three experiments.
  • In Experiment 1, a 45° left tilt made icons seem more vivid.
  • Experiment 2 found that small tilts (like 30°) increased perceptions of dynamism and vividness, while Experiment 3 confirmed that slight tilting is a successful design strategy to enhance icon appeal.

Article Abstract

In this study, we explored the impact of tilted designs of anthropomorphic app icons on users' perceptions of icon vividness across three experiments. In Experiment 1, tilting with an angle of 45° to the left increased perceived icon vividness. In Experiment 2, sequential icon tilt angles at 30° intervals manipulation showed that small tilt angles (e.g., 30° to the left or right) enhanced participant perceptions of dynamism and vividness, and participants perceived greater vividness in anthropomorphic app icons with slight tilting, driven by this increased dynamism. In Experiment 3, we excluded the effect of the completeness of icons on these participants' evaluations and affirmed that slightly tilting designs was an effective visual strategy for improving perceived vividness to attract users.

Article Synopsis
  • The project aimed to enhance the prevention and management of hypertension and diabetes in Southeast Asia through community health initiatives led by health volunteers in Vietnam's Intergenerational Self-Help Clubs (ISHCs) using a digital screening app.
  • The study assessed the effectiveness of this app in terms of data quality and usability, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative research methods to gather insights from health volunteers and relevant stakeholders.
  • Results showed high data completeness and accuracy in screenings, though nearly 30% of NCD risk factors were underrecorded, while the app was generally well-received for its efficiency and ease of use in data reporting and management.

Background: Symptom checker apps are patient-facing decision support systems aimed at providing advice to laypersons on whether, where, and how to seek health care (disposition advice). Such advice can improve laypersons' self-assessment and ultimately improve medical outcomes. Past research has mainly focused on the accuracy of symptom checker apps' suggestions.

Exploring what types of app icons are attractive has been a topic of great interest in recent years. The main purpose of this study was to explore the neural mechanism of attention capturing of the anthropomorphic app icons based on neuroergonomics. Participants' perception of different app icons was investigated by using event-related potentials (ERPs) and attractiveness evaluation.
