Over the weekend, Elva and I as a small group discussed the feedback we got last week during classes and how we could iterate our current idea based on the suggestions. Some pivots we made and the reasons are as follows:

  1. We switched to launch the instruction using a website, not an app anymore. The reason was UPMC kept reminding us that cost-effectiveness is one of the most important factors we want to consider. Another reason is downloading an app requires more motivation than opening a website. Even if we don’t think downloading an app is effortless, lots of people may not be motivated to download the app.

2. Patients do the learning in the hospital, the length of learning could be a couple of days.

3. Phase I several days, learning principles.

4. Phase 2 several days, practice planning meals.

5. Generate a personalized diary based on patients’ input in phase I and phase II. Patients will be given printed diary before discharge by doctor/nurse for post-discharge recording diary. (Also come with a safe food list and trigger food list).

6. After discharge, patients will use a physical version of the diary, keep recording food. Can revisit the website if patients are willing to.
