Abstract

The release of smartphones and tablets which offer more advanced communication and computing capabilities has led to the strong emergence of mHealth on the market mHealth systems are being used to improve patients’ lives and their health in addition to facilitating communication between doctors and patients Researchers are now proposing mHealth applications for many health conditions such as dementia autism dysarthria Parkinson’s disease and so on Usability becomes a key factor in the adoption of these applications which are often used by people who have problems when using mobile devices and who have a limited experience of technology The aim of this paper is to investigate the empirical usability evaluation processes described in a total of 22 selected studies related to mHealth applications by means of a Systematic Literature Review Our results show that the empirical evaluation methods employed as regards usability could be improved by the adoption of automated mechanisms The evaluation processes should also be revised to combine more than one method This paper will help researchers and developers to create more usable applications Our study demonstrates the importance of adapting health applications to users’ needThis research is part of the PEGASOPANGEA projects TIN200913718C0202 financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation Spain and the GEODASREQ project TIN201237493C0302 financed by both the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and European FEDER funds This research is also financed by the Erasmus Mundus EUMare Nostrum programme
