mHealth and User Interaction Improvement by Personality Traits-Based Personalization

Abstract

During COVID-19 pandemic, interest in mHealth rose dramatically. An ample literature review was carried out to discover whether personality traits could be the basis for mHealth personalization for human-computer interaction improvement. Moreover, the study of three most popular mHealth applications was conducted to determine data collected by users. The results showed that personality traits affected communication and physical activity preferences, motivation, and application usage. mHealth personalization based on personality traits could suggest enjoyable physical activities and motivational communication. mHealth applications already process enough user information to enable seamless inference of personality traits.
