Description
Joanne Murabito and co-authors test how easy a smartphone app for health data is for older adults to use. Published in 2023, the study worked with two groups of 15 older adults: one from the Framingham Heart Study and one more diverse sample. Average ages were about 72 and 71 years. Few past studies check app usability in this age group.
People completed surveys, a body map task for pain sites, and thinking tests on the phone while thinking aloud. Coders scored errors from the recordings. Most people were satisfied with the app, and scores for function and look were similar in both groups. The majority finished self report tasks without trouble, the authors report.
