Criteria for User Interface Design in Performance Evaluation and Guidelines of Medical Mobile Apps for Beginner Developers

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This study created a performance evaluation form specifically designed to assess user interfaces in medical apps, with a focus on educational and preventive aspects. Developed in collaboration with a diverse group of usability and design experts, the form was structured around heuristic principles and rigorously refined using content accuracy evaluations and consistency index analyses. This meticulous process resulted in a comprehensive 145-question tool that successfully met rigorous evaluation standards. Emphasizing the necessity of early integration of user interface considerations in the development process, this tool is crucial for enhancing app usability and quality. It provides immense value to novice developers by addressing common design challenges such as disorganized layouts and privacy concerns, ensuring that mobile applications are not only user-friendly but also highly effective in interactive design scenarios. This approach facilitates the development of apps that are optimally designed for user engagement and functional precision in medical contexts.
