“…Historically, the costs of telemedicine have deeply varied from being free (in the case of some governmental ventures) to $1000 (Medinova). These initiatives soon paved their way in creating the contemporary healthcare scenario of Bangladesh [ 20 , 21 ].…”

“…Thus the payment should be 300 taka, where the expert doctors would get 150 taka, village doctors would get 75 taka, and the pharmacy owners would get 75 taka per patient. A payment of 300 taka will thus be much cheaper than an average cost of 500–1000 taka in an urban environment which will save the cost and time spent on transportation [ 50 ].…”

Background: Lack of usability can be a major barrier for the rapid adoption of mobile services. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the usability of Mobile Health applications in Bangladesh. Method: We followed a 3-stage approach in our research. First, we conducted a keyword-based application search in the popular app stores. We followed the affinity diagram approach and clustered the found applications into nine groups. Second, we randomly selected four apps from each group (36 apps in total) and conducted a heuristic evaluation. Finally, we selected the highest downloaded app from each group and conducted user studies with 30 participants. Results: We found 61% usability problems are catastrophe or major in nature from heuristic inspection. The most (21%) violated heuristic is aesthetic and minimalist design. The user studies revealed low System Usability Scale (SUS) scores for those apps that had a high number of usability problems based on the heuristic evaluation. Thus, the results of heuristic evaluation and user studies complement each other. Conclusion: Overall, the findings suggest that the usability of the mobile health apps in Bangladesh is not satisfactory in general and could be a potential barrier for wider adoption of mobile health services.
