Acceptability and Usability of a Socially Assistive Robot Integrated With a Large Language Model for Enhanced Human-Robot Interaction in a Geriatric Care Institution: Mixed Methods Evaluation

Acceptability and Usability of a Socially Assistive Robot Integrated With a Large Language Model for Enhanced Human-Robot Interaction in a Geriatric Care Institution: Mixed Methods Evaluation

Simultaneously, usability focuses on how efficiently, effectively, and satisfactorily a system can be used to perform expected tasks [13,14]. In geriatric institutions, usability considerations extend to physical ergonomics (eg, size, weight, tactile interfaces, voice interaction), user safety, and emotional comfort [37].

Insights From a Mixed Methods Analysis of 3 Health Technologies Used in Patients With Parkinson Disease: Mixed Methods Study

Insights From a Mixed Methods Analysis of 3 Health Technologies Used in Patients With Parkinson Disease: Mixed Methods Study

Beyond evaluating usability and acceptability, another aim of this study was to critically examine the research process itself. By reflecting on our methodology, we seek to identify valuable lessons that can inform and improve future usability and acceptability studies for TEC development in the PD field and related areas. This study fills an important gap in the literature by moving beyond individual assessments of digital health tools.

Translation, Cultural Adaptation, and Mixed-Methods User Feedback of the SelfBack App to the Arabic Language for Patients With Low Back Pain: Pilot Mixed-Methods Study

Translation, Cultural Adaptation, and Mixed-Methods User Feedback of the SelfBack App to the Arabic Language for Patients With Low Back Pain: Pilot Mixed-Methods Study

This phase involved assessing the usability of the Arabic Self Back app for both the Android and i OS operating systems using the validated and translated Arabic version of the System Usability Scale (A-SUS) [17]. The SUS is a questionnaire used to evaluate the usability of a wide variety of new software systems [18]. It comprises 10 questions which are answered using a 5-point Likert scale ranging from “I strongly disagree” to “I strongly agree.”

Evaluating the Usability of an HIV Prevention Artificial Intelligence Chatbot in Malaysia: National Observational Study

Evaluating the Usability of an HIV Prevention Artificial Intelligence Chatbot in Malaysia: National Observational Study

To further enhance the algorithms and features of the AI chatbot, it is essential to test its usability among a large number of end-users using predefined metrics. Therefore, we conducted this observational study to evaluate the usability of our AI chatbot for promoting HIV testing among MSM in Malaysia. The AI chatbot was created and embedded into the website MYHIV365.com. The description of the chatbot and the website has been published elsewhere [6].

Conversational Systems for Social Care in Older Adults: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Conversational Systems for Social Care in Older Adults: Protocol for a Scoping Review

A recent systematic review of AI conversational agents in health care identified positive or mixed evidence for effectiveness and usability [24]. Still, it highlights that qualitative perceptions of these technologies could be more guarded. Many studies lacked rigorous designs or sufficient reporting, limiting conclusive assessments of their clinical and operational impact.

The Neo-MILK Web App as a Health Technology to Support Mothers of Preterm and Sick Neonates During Lactation: Usability Study

To measure the overall usability of m Health technologies, the system usability scale (SUS) is a widely used instrument, which showed robust results in previous studies [24]. In addition, usability studies often report on ease of use, user experience, and user engagement, depending on the focus of the study [25].

Usability and Quality of the JoyPop App: Prospective Evaluation Study

Usability and Quality of the JoyPop App: Prospective Evaluation Study

Despite this, the majority of mental health apps available in major marketplaces have not undergone usability and quality evaluations [35,37,38]. Usability is defined as a “quality attribute that assesses how easy interfaces are to use” [39]. Evaluating mental health app usability can reveal factors (eg, functionality, feature usefulness, layout, and readability) that reduce engagement and use [35,36].
