ABSTRACT
The menopause transition is associated with physiological changes that increase women's cardiovascular and metabolic risk. Healthier and more conscious behavior in specific areas (diet, physical activity, smoking, etc.) can mitigate this risk. However, in order to modify such behavior, women must be aware of the need to use endogenous and exogenous strategies to improve their lifestyle habits. Despite the explosion of health-related apps, there are currently no innovative examples addressing a self-care approach to menopause by applying personalization, adaptability, and persuasion to induce women to improve their health-related lifestyle. Therefore, this paper describes the theoretical foundations and design phases of a system that coaches women to improve their lifestyle during menopause. To this end, we used a Participatory Design approach involving different groups of women along the different design phases to define the system's user interfaces and interaction mechanisms.
