Combining healthcare services on a primary care level, at a basic rather than specialised extent, for elementary treatment seeking people, can be challenging but yet useful. In fact, there are many different healthcare apps currently available in the emporium of India, however, their lack of usability as well as appropriate user interface is a major concern. Thus, the possibility of creating convenient and sustainable user interface and experience has great potentials in this regard. This paper presents a Proof-of-Concept (PoC) prototype for primary care level services in India, enabling seamless communication amongst pharmacies, clinics and relevant specialised services, demonstrating chronological steps of the conceptual user interface design process. The initial usability test results of the app reveal positive upshots. The PoC prototype, developed exploring service design processes, can be used for reference and guidance for the researchers, developers and other concerned stakeholders.

Currently, many powerful applications designed to combat social deviations are available, like the web-filtering systems, which measure the content of a website before submitting it to the user, notifying whether the content of the website presents (or not) information related to pornography, violence, racism, among others, and prompting the user to not accessing the site, or even blocking access to the website. Nevertheless, frequently the feedback of these systems is not well-designed, which may confuse users and lead to mistakes, disappointments, and misunderstandings. In order to reduce this concern, a method is provided to developers with guidance in designing usable security notifications to be incorporated in web-filtering systems. The method is structured through a library of user interface design patterns which integrates essential concepts of security and usability. The authors show the effectiveness of the patterns by using an illustrative example as a proof-of-concept together with a preliminary study.

Human-Centered Design Method is a method of approach in the development and design of a system that focuses on the user according to aspects of the needs and habits of the user. Difficulty in accessing information on the website becomes a problem faced by the user and in terms of visual website can not be responsive when accessed via mobile. The initial stage carried out in this method is observation which aims to find and to better understand the problems faced by users to conduct testing to find out whether the solutions provided can be understood and easily used by the user. Website testing is done by giving tasks to the user to interact on the website prototype, as the final result of success in the aspect of ease and comfort of the user using the website. After testing the user directly the test results are obtained, ie the user already feels quite understanding and easy when using the website that was created. The responsive mobile feature created also makes users feel helped when using a website on a smartphone.

INTRODUCTION:In 2013 the Essencial Project launched in Catalonia promotes the identification of low-value practices (LVP) by healthcare professionals and elaborates recommendations to avoid them. This project aims to reduce unnecessary care of health care services which harm outweighs the benefits, resulting in physical, psychological to the patients and wasteful healthcare services. The main objectives are to describe the implementation process at the primary care level and to evaluate the impact of recommendations on general practitioners (GPs) practice.METHODS:The implementation process consists in:(i) Nomination of clinical leaders to promote the project among their primary care teams (PCT) and to lead the implementation activities by identification of barriers and enablers for change in clinical practice towards avoiding LVP.(ii) Selection of recommendations to be implemented and definition of corresponding activities to be carried out by each PCT according to the specific characteristics of their organizations.(iii) Development of related indicators and comparison between baseline statusRESULTS:One hundred and sixteen PCT (covering 30 percent of the Catalan population) participated in the pilot experience of implementation. Twenty-one recommendations were selected such as: bisphosphonates in post-menopausal women with low risk of fracture, PSA screening and statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, among others. At 12 month follow-up, use of bisphosphonates were reduced by 21 percent (p = .0005), PSA was reduced by 14 percent (p = .0009). The use of other treatments such as antidepressants, benzodiazepines for some specific clinical conditions decreases with no statistically significant changes.CONCLUSIONS:This is the first experience in Catalonia and Spain of implementation of the recommendations to avoid LVP with early involvement of target professionals. Follow-up results provide information about the early impact of recommendations at primary care level. Our challenge is to implement the recommendations at hospital level.
