“…In terms of location, like general users, our participants used smartphones for health information not only at home but also at public places, such as fast food restaurants, grocery stores, clinics, and public transits (Church and Smyth, 2009;Timmins et al, 2006). But it is worth noting that the reason for them to search for health information in public places may be different from those for other user groups.…”

Purpose-Smartphones have great potential to bridge the digital divide that low-socioeconomic status (SES) Hispanics have been experiencing. However, little is known about this group's use of smartphones for health information. The purpose of this paper is to fill the gap by exploring the context in which smartphones were used for health information. Design/methodology/approach-The authors interviewed 20 low-SES Hispanic participants using the semi-structured interview method. Participants had not obtained college degrees and had annual incomes less than $30,000, but had used their smartphones for health information. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using the qualitative content analysis method. Findings-Being economical was an important reason for low-SES Hispanic users to use smartphones for health information. The users relied heavily on public Wi-Fi to access the internet. They searched a wide range of health topics, mostly using the mobile web rather than apps. They lacked knowledge and skills to effectively using apps, evaluating the quality of health information, and comprehend information. Research limitations/implications-Having access to smartphones alone does not help bridge the digital gap for low-SES Hispanics. Interventions need to consider improving these users' smartphone literacy and health literacy, as well as improving their access to Wi-Fi services and to more quality content in Spanish. Originality/value-Prior studies speculated that smartphones could be a means to bridge digital divide experienced by the Hispanic ethnic group. This study provided empirical knowledge about how smartphones are used by these users for health information, and shed light on the design of future informational interventions.

“…Software applications are no longer tethered to our desktops and laptops; they have gone mobile (mobile web, mobile app) to provide timely admittance to information anywhere and anytime (Timmins et al, 2006). As a consequence, competition increased Å bo Akademi Foundation (Å AF), HPY:n Tutkimussäätiö (Elisa Oyj), and TeliaSonera Research and development Foundation in Finland provided the grant that has made this research possible.…”

“…Software applications are no longer tethered to our desktops and laptops; they have gone mobile (mobile web, mobile app) to provide timely admittance to information anywhere and anytime (Timmins et al , 2006). As a consequence, competition increased radically for not only the millions of applications who advertise or produce the same products and services, but also for the users' attention, time, and satisfaction (Islam, 2011b).…”

Purpose -The underlying objective of this literature review was to investigate what kinds of semiotics researches have been employed in user interfaces design and usability evaluation, and how were they employed. Design/methodology/approach -This research follows a systematic literature review process that consists of three key stages: planning the review, conducting the review, and reporting the review. Starting with an initial set of about 1,000 research articles, 65 were selected for this review, using an inclusion and exclusion criteria. Qualitative and quantitative data were extracted from the selected literatures following a data extraction strategy in six themes of data extraction. The extracted data were synthesized to formulate the stated research questions to obtain the review goals. Findings -This systematic review identified research strengths, gaps, and challenges. Apart from this, further research possibilities were also explored in this review. For research, the review showed clear needs for more researches to increase both the number and the quality of studies that can be focused on the research gaps identified by this systematic review related to: outcome validation; cultural issues consideration; user interfaces of mobile applications and websites; semiotics perception in usability evaluation; and further improve the value and applicability of research ideas. For practice, the review showed the significance of semeiotics in user interface design and usability evaluation to develop users' intuitive interfaces for boosting the system's usability. Originality/value -Based on a systematic literature review, the paper not only depicts the current status of semiotics research in user interface design and evaluation, but also provides a number of implications for research and practice. Thus, the review contributes to the scientific community of user interface design and evaluation, as well as suggesting the actual advances in the state of the practice in semiotics research on user interface.
