This paper is to study the persuasive effects and user experience of persuasive systems
for diabetes self-management of Chinese older adults in Hong Kong. Two kinds of
persuasive systems were used in the study: a web-based multi-media diabetes
management course and some mobile logbook systems. The paper discusses the
concepts of motivation theories in health system design, and conclude that far more
sensitive to context and to concepts of well-being need to be built into the design of
health systems for chronic disease patients in self-management. The paper ends by
detailing some criteria that might develop more inclusive health systems that can
enhance self-efficacy and well-being of chronic disease patients while helping to
persuade and motivate them to engage and adhere in health behaviour over a longer
term.
