Emotional Evocative User Interface Design for Lifestyle Intervention in Non-communicable Diseases using Kansei

The advancement of technology has led to the development of an artificial intelligence-based healthcare-related application that can be easily accessed and used to assist people in lifestyle intervention for preventing the development of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Previous research suggested that users are demanding a more emotional evocative user interface design. However, most of the time, it has been ignored due to lack of a model that could be referred in developing emotional evocative user interface design. This creates a gap in the user interface design that could lead to the ineffectiveness of content delivery in the NCD domain. This paper aims to investigate emotion traits and their relationship with user interface design for lifestyle intervention. Kansei Engineering method was applied to determine the dimensions for constructing emotional evocative user interface design. Data analysis was done using SPSS statistic tool and the result showed the emotional concepts that are significant and impactful towards user interface design for lifestyle intervention in NCD domain. The outcome of this research shall create new research fields that incorporate multi research domain including user interface design and emotions.
