Article Synopsis
- The increasing use of sensor-based digital health technologies (sDHTs) has revealed challenges in applying these tools effectively in clinical trials and patient care for diverse populations.
- This review seeks to analyze current research findings related to the usability and human-centered design of sDHTs to inform a new evaluation framework.
- A scoping review of studies from 2013 to 2023 identified 442 papers, with 83 suitable for data extraction, highlighting that most evaluations focus on user satisfaction and ease of use, but less attention is paid to other usability aspects like learnability and efficiency.
Background: Independent ambulation requires adaptability. Self-selected and maximum walking speeds are often both assessed to demonstrate the ability to adapt speed to different tasks and environments. However, purposefully walking at a slow speed (slowWS) could also be an appropriate adaptation in certain situations but has rarely been investigated.
