Int J Environ Res Public Health. 2020 Mar 1;17(5):1586. doi: 10.3390/ijerph17051586.

Abstract

This paper presents the usability assessment of the design of an Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) system for older adults; the evaluation, using heuristics, was held early on the design process to assess potential problems with the system and was found to be an efficient method to find issues with the application design and led to significant usability improvements on the IoMT platform.

Keywords: Internet of Medical Things; aging; health monitoring; heuristic evaluation; older adults; usability.
