  1. We present the design of a mHealth application aimed at improving mental health outcomes among young adults representing a Native American population. This study evaluates the application’s effectiveness and user-friendliness, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of its performance utilizing the uMARS (Mobile Application Rating Scale) protocol specifically designed to assess the quality of mobile health applications. Our findings indicate that the design meets both customers’ (young adults) and experts’ (mobile development practitioners) perceptions of the app. Our limitation is the lack of data collection from the population representing the Native American tribe.

  2. Despite significant cultural strengths and knowledge, Indigenous people around the world experience substantial health inequities due to the historic and ongoing impacts of settler colonialism. As information and communication technologies (ICTs) are increasingly used as part of health interventions to help bridge equity gaps, it is important to characterize and critically evaluate how ICT-facilitated health interventions are designed for and used by Indigenous people. This critical literature review queried articles from three archives focused on health and technology with the goal of identifying cross-cutting challenges and opportunities for ICT-facilitated health interventions in Indigenous communities. Importantly, we use the lens of decolonization to understand important issues that impact Indigenous sovereignty, including the incorporation of Indigenous Knowledge and engagement with data sovereignty.
