“…Usability assessment (see Table 1 and Figure 7) tools should include a mix of quantitative methods (e.g., SUS, TAMbased questionnaires, UX-based questionnaires) and qualitative techniques (e.g., experience interviews, think aloud, heuristic evaluation). The systematic review on telemedicine systems by Klaassen et al (2016) recommend SUS, TAM2, and PSSUQ and state that questionnaires along with interviews, which are both low-cost and flexible methods, can be used from early to final phases of usability. Indeed, questionnaires give useful quantitative data that, however, still need qualitative information to tap individual sources of variation.…”

Aging is a condition that may be characterized by a decline in physical, sensory, and mental capacities, while increased morbidity and multimorbidity may be associated with disability. A wide range of clinical conditions (e.g., frailty, mild cognitive impairment, metabolic syndrome) and age-related diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, cancer, sarcopenia, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases) affect older people. Virtual reality (VR) is a novel and promising tool for assessment and rehabilitation in older people. Usability is a crucial factor that must be considered when designing virtual systems for medicine. We conducted a systematic review with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines concerning the usability of VR clinical systems in aging and provided suggestions to structure usability piloting. Findings show that different populations of older people have been recruited to mainly assess usability of non-immersive VR, with particular attention paid to motor/physical rehabilitation. Mixed approach (qualitative and quantitative tools together) is the preferred methodology; technology acceptance models are the most applied theoretical frameworks, however senior adapted models are the best within this context. Despite minor interaction issues and bugs, virtual systems are rated as usable and feasible. We encourage usability and user experience pilot studies to ameliorate interaction and improve acceptance and use of VR clinical applications in older people with the aid of suggestions (VR-USOP) provided by our analysis.

“…These dates were deemed appropriate for this relatively new field of research and in view of the rapid advances occurring in technology. They were also selected based on the results of a survey of telemedicine related literature which revealed a steady increase in publications from 2000 (Klaassen et al 2016). Only studies reported in English and those that reported on the management (assessment/treatment/ monitoring/self-management) of communication and swallowing disorders in people with PD using ICT and computer-based software were included.…”

Research evidence supporting technology-enabled management of the communication and swallowing disorders in PD is limited and predominantly low in quality. The treatment of the speech disorder online is the most developed aspect of the technology-enabled management pathway. Future research needs to address technology-enabled management of cognitive-communication and swallowing disorders and the use of a more diverse range of technologies and management approaches to optimize SLT service delivery to people with PD.

“…According to a literature review on usability in telemedicine systems [17], older adults and those with cardiovascular conditions were among the largest target end-user groups. Remote monitoring systems were addressed in most (90%) of the publications, followed by training and medical education, and consultation.…”

ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to review and visualize the medical informatics field over the previous 12 months according to the frequencies of keywords and topics in papers published in the top four journals in the field and in Healthcare Informatics Research (HIR), an official journal of the Korean Society of Medical Informatics.MethodsA six-person team conducted an extensive review of the literature on clinical and consumer informatics. The literature was searched using keywords employed in the American Medical Informatics Association year-in-review process and organized into 14 topics used in that process. Data were analyzed using word clouds, social network analysis, and association rules.ResultsThe literature search yielded 370 references and 1,123 unique keywords. ‘Electronic Health Record’ (EHR) (78.6%) was the most frequently appearing keyword in the articles published in the five studied journals, followed by ‘telemedicine’ (2.1%). EHR (37.6%) was also the most frequently studied topic area, followed by clinical informatics (12.0%). However, ‘telemedicine’ (17.0%) was the most frequently appearing keyword in articles published in HIR, followed by ‘telecommunications’ (4.5%). Telemedicine (47.1%) was the most frequently studied topic area, followed by EHR (14.7%).ConclusionsThe study findings reflect the Korean government's efforts to introduce telemedicine into the Korean healthcare system and reactions to this from the stakeholders associated with telemedicine.
