“…To further understand this, as seen in previous studies of Flood et al [29][30][31], the four applications with fewer interactions were selected for the next step. However, our KLM results present multiple apps with the same total number of interactions.…”

“…In order to cater for the usability evaluation in existing mobile apps in the online markets, Martin et al [28] proposed a mechanism for systematic evaluations of mobile apps, which has been successfully applied in different fields, such as diabetes [29,30] or spreadsheet [31] mobile apps. This evaluation consists of five steps:…”

“…As we discuss later in detail, this evaluation, considered as a laboratory experiment [34], has some advantages [28,29], such as platform independence and flexibility [30]; that is, it can be applied on different platforms (e.g., Android, iOS, and Windows Phone). Previous work applying this evaluation, including diabetes management apps [29,30] and spreadsheet apps [31], showed that the combination of KLM and MUH allows detecting a larger number of usability problems than when performed independently.…”

“…Previous work applying this evaluation, including diabetes management apps [29,30] and spreadsheet apps [31], showed that the combination of KLM and MUH allows detecting a larger number of usability problems than when performed independently. KLM results showed significant variations depending mainly on the input method of the app.…”

Nowadays, instant messaging applications (apps) are one of the most popular applications for mobile devices with millions of active users. However, mobile devices present hardware and software characteristics and limitations compared with personal computers. Hence, to address the usability issues of mobile apps, a specific methodology must be conducted. This paper shows the findings from a systematic analysis of these applications on iOS mobile platform that was conducted to identify some usability issues in mobile applications for instant messaging. The overall process includes a Keystroke-Level Modeling and a Mobile Heuristic Evaluation. In the same trend, we propose a set of guidelines for improving the usability of these apps. Based on our findings, this analysis will help in the future to create more effective mobile applications for instant messaging.

This work is part of a planned larger project to develop an intelligent mobile personalised guidance service for the management of diabetes by harnessing the power of the new generation of smart phones. Existing mobile applications enable diabetic patients to record blood glucose readings, carbohydrates consumed, insulin dosage, physical activity undertaken, and other activities and observations. Our aim is to develop a lightweight ontology that captures the kinds of information recorded by such applications, and which would facilitate interoperation. In order to establish a list of terms that must be captured by the ontology, we have undertaken a systematic review of applications (limited, for the moment to the iOS platform). We use this list to establish suitable classes and properties for the ontology, and then investigate how it can be mapped on to existing standards such as HL7 RIM and OpenEHR.

Touch based mobile phone launchers are programs used by elderly people to ease their use of mobile phones. Despite their varieties in the mobile phone market, little has been done to evaluate their applicability to the target users. In this paper we describe a systematic approach to convert design guidelines and recommendations for touch-based phones into heuristics targeting elderly people. Then an assessment of the heuristics is carried out by creating personas and conducting usability evaluation.

A Systematic Evaluation of Mobile Applications for Diabetes Management

Abstract: This short paper contains a summary of work that is currently in progress towards the development of an intelligent, personalised tool for diabetes management. A preliminary part of the development process has consisted of a systematic evaluation of existing applications for mobile phones.
