Designers of mobile applications have long understood the importance of users’ preferences in making the user experience easier, convenient and therefore valuable. The cultural aspects of groups of users are among the key features of users’ design preferences, because each group’s preferences depend on various features that are culturally compatible. The process of integrating culture into the design of a system has always been an important ingredient for effective and interactive human computer interface. This study aims to investigate the design of a mobile health (mHealth) application user interface (UI) based on Arabic culture. It was argued that integrating certain cultural values of specific groups of users into the design of UI would increase their acceptance of the technology.,A total of 135 users responded to an online survey about their acceptance of a culturally designed mHealth.,The findings showed that culturally based language, colours, layout and images had a significant relationship with users’ behavioural intention to use the culturally based mHealth UI.,First, the sample and the data collected of this study were restricted to Arab users and Arab culture; therefore, the results cannot be generalized to other cultures and users. Second, the adapted unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model was used in this study instead of the new version, which may expose new perceptions. Third, the cultural aspects of UI design in this study were limited to the images, colours, language and layout.,It encourages UI designers to implement the relevant cultural aspects while developing mobile applications.,Embedding Arab cultural aspects in designing UI for mobile applications to satisfy Arab users and enhance their acceptance toward using mobile applications, which will reflect positively on their lives.

移动医疗 UI 设计中的文化

移动应用程序的设计者早就明白用户偏好对于使用户体验更简单、方便并因此有价值的重要性。用户群体的文化方面是用户设计偏好的关键特征之一，因为每个群体的偏好取决于文化上兼容的各种特征。将文化融入系统设计的过程一直是有效和交互式人机界面的重要组成部分。本研究旨在调查基于阿拉伯文化的移动健康 (mHealth) 应用程序用户界面 (UI) 的设计。有人认为，将特定用户群体的某些文化价值观融入 UI 设计会增加他们对技术的接受度。共有 135 名用户回应了一项关于他们接受文化设计的移动医疗的在线调查。调查结果表明，基于文化的语言、颜色、布局和图像与用户使用基于文化的移动医疗 UI 的行为意图有显着关系。 ,首先，本研究的样本和收集的数据仅限于阿拉伯用户和阿拉伯文化；因此，结果不能推广到其他文化和用户。其次，本研究使用了适应的技术接受和使用统一理论模型，而不是新版本，这可能会暴露新的看法。第三，本研究中 UI 设计的文化方面仅限于图像、颜色、语言和布局。它鼓励 UI 设计师在开发移动应用程序时实现相关的文化方面。，
