“…All studies were conducted in Global North countries, except for 1 in Ecuador [30][31][32] and 1 in Indonesia [33]. The eHealth services in the included studies targeted different types of patients or diagnoses: hip arthroplasty surgery [30][31][32], chronic kidney disease [34], depression [35,36], intellectual disability [37,38], dexterity impairments [38,39], older adults with functional limitations [33,40], acquired brain injury [41], multiple sclerosis [42], children with long-term illness [43], and heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [44]. The eHealth interventions in the studies consisted of rehabilitation after surgery [30][31][32], self-monitoring at home [34,40], mental health programs [35,36], supporting alternative communication [37], symptom reporting [43], facilitating appointments [33,38,41,44], self-management regimens [38,39,41,44], and a precision medicine tool [42].…”

“…Eight studies did not provide a definition or explanation of accessibility. In those studies, the term accessibility was used in relation to the following: ease of use [38,42]; consistent design and instructive guidance explaining that cognitive, motivational, physical ability, and perception barriers influence usability [44]; language as an accessibility barrier [37]; simplicity of app design [41]; and mention as an aspect of familiarity of the terminology in technology [40]. The term accessibility was also used to indicate gaining access to something (ie, health care, login, and devices) [34,37,41,42].…”

Background Accessibility is acknowledged as a key to inclusion in the Convention of Rights for People with Disabilities. An inaccessible design can result in exclusion from eHealth and cause disability among people who have impairments. Objective This scoping literature review aimed to investigate how eHealth services have been developed and evaluated regarding accessibility for people with impairments. Methods In line with Arksey and O’Malley’s framework for scoping studies and using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR), we conducted a search in 4 databases (PubMed, Scopus, IEEE, and Web of Science) in October 2020 and an update of the search in June 2022. The search strategy was structured according to the PICO model as follows: Population/Problem, digital accessibility for users with impairment; Intervention, health care delivered by any digital solution; Comparison, not applicable; Outcome, use of and adherence to (1) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), (2) other accessibility guidelines, and (3) other means, for designing or evaluating accessibility in eHealth services. A Boolean search was conducted by combining terms related to accessibility and eHealth. All authors participated in screening abstracts according to the eligibility criteria. Each publication, containing a potentially relevant abstract, was read (full text) and assessed for eligibility by 2 authors independently and pairwise. Publications deemed eligible were read by all authors and discussed for consensus. Results A total of 8643 publications were identified. After abstract screening, 131 publications remained for full-text reading. Of those, 116 publications were excluded as they did not meet the eligibility criteria. Fifteen publications involving studies of 12 eHealth services were included in the study. Of the 15 publications, 2 provided a definition of accessibility, 5 provided an explanation of accessibility, and 8 did not provide any explanation. Five publications used the WCAG to evaluate accessibility when developing eHealth services. One publication used International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 29138, ISO 2941, and ISO/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 30071-1 standards together with the Spanish Association for Standardization (UNE) 139803 standard. Eleven publications used other means to address accessibility, including text-level grading; literature review about accessibility; user tests, focus groups, interviews, and design workshops with target groups of patients, relatives, and health care professionals; and comparative analysis of existing technical solutions to provide information about useful requirements. Conclusions Although a clear definition of accessibility can enhance operationalization and thus measurability when evaluating accessibility in eHealth services, accessibility was insufficiently defined in most of the included studies. Further, accessibility guidelines and standards were used to a very limited extent in the development and evaluation of eHealth services. Guidelines for developing complex interventions that include guidance for accessibility are motivated to ensure that accessibility will be considered systematically in eHealth services.

“…Usability remains getting attention of researchers (Venkatesh, Ramesh, & Massey, 2003) and is explained in different ways in industry and academia. Hence, many studies can be found in literature which tried to find usability but they were mostly related to purely application based studies like application usage in health monitoring and management (Kascak, Rébola, Braunstein, & Sanford, 2013), navigation and voting (Campbell, Tossell, Byrne, & Kortum, 2014) etc. Therefore, a broad view and impact of usability in management science is desirable to study.…”

The rapid increase in mobile device usage worldwide presents a significant challenge for brands aiming to attract and retain customers. Building customer trust in a brand is essential for achieving this goal. However, the wide variety of mobile devices and intense competition compel manufacturers to incorporate more features into a single device, often resulting in complexity and reduced interactivity, which adversely affects the device's usability. Moreover, mobile devices have profoundly transformed customers' lifestyles, complicating the task of marketers to measure buying behavior trends accurately. Consequently, a deep understanding of customers is necessary for effective segmentation. This research aims to fill this gap by providing a roadmap for academics and practitioners to build brand trust in mobile devices, thereby enhancing the user experience by improving usability and brand trust. This quantitative, cross-sectional, and explanatory study utilized an adapted scale to collect data from a population of mobile device users. A sample size of 534 respondents was gathered through online sources and self-administered questionnaires. The study hypothesized that simplicity, interactivity, and brand trust impact usability, which in turn leads to increased brand trust. Additionally, the study examined the direct impact of simplicity and usability on brand trust. It also sought to explore the mediating effect of usability between its antecedents (simplicity and interactivity) and the consequent brand trust. All hypotheses were accepted, except for the direct impact of simplicity on brand trust. Unlike most existing marketing studies that focus primarily on the direct relationship between brand trust and loyalty, this study introduced a novel model. This model elucidates the relationships between simplicity, interactivity, and usability, demonstrating how these factors collectively influence brand trust.

“…Besides, Telemedicine has been shown that it can reduce hospitalization and mortality rates [11]. Ljilja Kascakl [12] and his groups studied the remote patient monitoring (RPM) system. They proposed mobile application concept design for the RPM, which could be used on tablets and smartphones.…”

In this paper, we present the design of JTang HSS (JTang Healthcare Service Platform for the Senior), a healthcare service platform for the senior based on cloud computing technology. In our system, services provided by third parties such as hospitals, physical examination centers, communities and some other institutions, can be integrated, managed and optimized seamlessly. The platform contains three subsystems, which are health services bus platform (HSB), Middleware Platform (MP) and health services library (HSL). HSB is constructed to facilitate data access for third parties. Meanwhile, we build the health data center to recommend services in a personalized manner based on middleware platform. Further, external services and platform owned services are orchestrated and integrated to a health services library, which supports an end-to-end process and supplies application services for the senior. The goal of the platform is to provide overall management and sufficient services in all aspects of healthcare of the senior. In detail, application services mainly include data collecting, health status assessing, entertainment supplying, social interaction, etc. Most of the services are provided as mobile applications running in devices like mobile phones and tablet computers.
