We present an approach to use the think aloud method for formative usability evaluation for medical software in a remote access scenario which combines researchers in two different locations and test persons distributed across five Swiss hospitals into one study using MS-Teams. We could show that a) these tests can be performed remote in a tight time schedule and b) that results valuable for the formative development of the examined mockup solution could be achieved. Two sessions had to be rescheduled for technical problems but all test persons could complete the think aloud study in 30 minutes at their usual working environment. This offers the opportunity to software providers to develop medical software with better usability in close cooperation with future users.

Background: Perinatal mental health problems, such as anxiety, stress, and depression, warrant particularly close monitoring and intervention, but they are often unaddressed in both obstetric and psychiatric clinics, with limited accessibility and treatment resources. Mobile health interventions may provide an effective and more accessible solution for addressing perinatal mental health. Development and evaluation of a mobile mental health intervention specifically for pregnant women are warranted.

While the incidence of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection is decreasing in most age groups worldwide, it is rising among adolescents and young adults, who also face a higher rate of HIV-related deaths. This tech-savvy demographic may benefit from an online patient portal designed to enhance patient activation-empowering them to manage their health independently. However, the effectiveness of such digital health interventions on young HIV patients in Kenya remains uncertain.
