Participants suggested that in the future, CAs should provide regularly updated content on healthy living, specifically pre-diabetes. Multiple answer options should also be provided for more personalisation along with links to external resources to help improve users' health literacy. Further recommendations include a necessity for a user-centered approach in CA development, employment of engagement strategies, use of a delivery platform most familiar to the target population and stratified message timings to suit the population and purpose of CA. Translating the health CAs to languages relevant to the target group could also enable wider reach and applicability.
