tl;dr: Major factors are (1) miscommunication with developers at the onset about what data are needed and (2) the relative complexity of working with (non-tabular) digital behavior data.
User engagement with mHealth platforms is key, but few studies evaluate its impact on outcomes. I have some theories on why that may be: https://t.co/e3MKp40iqM

@hchengdietitian Thanks for sharing! Loved your presentation - I forgot to give our team a shoutout for our work evaluating engagement's impact on outcomes.
To get accurate quotes for your website or app, you're going to need to write a specs document. Here's a guide I wrote up specifically for health researchers.

Today I learned that Tableau doesn't do a great job of cleaning up after itself. I was able to reclaim many GBs after deleting Tableau Prep logs. If you're using Tableau, take a look:

Our digital health interventions must address digital access barriers. Here are some tips for web and phone apps:
โ๏ธMust be frugal with data use
โ๏ธMust work offline
โ๏ธTell participants how much data is used to install
โ๏ธSuggest installing on public wifi

@Jodie3L3enderby@PhDForum@PhDVoice@AcademicChatter Have you directly asked your supervisors for help? They likely have a discretionary fund for research, and this is a very appropriate use.
An out-of-the-box idea is to try crowdfunding: https://t.co/JFUal0qG3W
Lots of digital health intervention grants going in this year... which means lots of Q's about building native apps versus PWAs.
If you're also planning a DHI, you can learn about your options in our latest blog.

Excited to be at the #nwa2022 conference to present alongside Texas WIC. Weโre sharing the full development and evaluation process for Maya, the Texas WIC Chatbot.
My PhD involved co-designing an app. I had to reach deep into my software developer skillset to get it done - my poster at #ISBNPA2022 showcases this process.
This work inspired DHMVP, a no-code solution for real-time co-design and prototyping. Come have a chat and learn more!
I'd be interested to learn if the research teams faced barriers to this during the development process. I think it likely that prototyping iteratively with end users is often put on the chopping block when facing budget limitations and cost constraints. #AcademicChatter#phdchat
A great summary of ways we can improve behavioural intervention design. Interesting to see that 45% of the studies using prototypes didn't directly involve end users in the prototyping process. #AcademicTwitter#mHealth#DigitalHealth https://t.co/W4ZR6hiCRf
