- Healthy ageing is important for older people and can be helped by how society supports them, but this support can sometimes be lacking.
- The TILDA project studies how to promote healthy ageing and finds out what older people and their support groups think about its efforts.

Objective: To assess technical usability of the BigO app and clinical portal among diverse participants and explore the overall user experiences of both.
Methods: Methods included technical usability testing by measuring the relative user efficiency score (RUS) for the app and measuring Relative User Efficiency (RUE) using the 'think aloud' method with the clinical portal. Qualitative approaches involved focus groups with adolescent app users and semi-structured one-to-one interviews with clinician participants.
