The extensive addition of explanatory sentences and terms, instead of shorter keywords, to make it easier for users to navigate and comprehend the content was a major adjustment. Thus, good usability (SUS: 80th-84th percentile) was achieved using iterative optimizations within the user-centered design. Long-term usability and any possible effects on nutritional and physical activity behavior need to be evaluated in an additional study in which patients should be able to use the e-coach with increasing independence, thereby helping them to gain access to content that could support their long-term behavior change.
