“…However, in this review, many studies reported on the utilization of ad-hoc instruments. Examples of poor practices from a methodological quality point of view are the use of questionnaires developed purposively for a study without any attempt to assess its validity by an expert panel or against a gold standard and without specifying the questions and the process of development (e.g., [35,36,38,39,41,49,55,63,73]), extracting some questions from previously validated instruments compromising their validity and reliability (e.g., [53]), or assessing reliability but not validity (e.g., [52,60]). Ensuring validity is ensuring that an instrument is assessing what is supposed to be assessed and ensuring reliability is ensuring that the instruments give consistent results across repeated assessments.…”

This study aimed to determine the methodological quality of user-centered usability evaluation of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) solutions by (i) identifying the characteristics of the AAL studies reporting on user-centered usability evaluation, (ii) systematizing the methods, procedures and instruments being used, and (iii) verifying if there is evidence of a common understanding on methods, procedures, and instruments for user-centered usability evaluation. An electronic search was conducted on Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE Xplore databases, combining relevant keywords. Then, titles and abstracts were screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the full texts of the eligible studies were retrieved and screened for inclusion. A total of 44 studies were included. The results show a great heterogeneity of methods, procedures, and instruments to evaluate the usability of AAL solutions and, in general, the researchers fail to consider and report relevant methodological aspects. Guidelines and instruments to assess the quality of the studies might help improving the experimental design and reporting of studies on user-centered usability evaluation of AAL solutions.

“…There is an increasing interest in a multimedia communication delivery [8][9] for the elderly such as medreminder application reminded people to take medicines, and call relatives or medical personnel in case of emergency through an interactive television [10]. The Senior Channel system allowed older users to interact with TV and multimedia contents, which in turn helped to improve their social inclusion and participation [11]. A control service framework, termed Multi-user Variable Remote Control iTV (MVC-iTV) service, was developed and it focused on the integration of large-scale mobile and convenient remote controls for multiuser interaction with family within a home information system [12].…”

This study aims to apply appropriate information technology services for elderly people in order to fill the communication gap between the elderly, family members and friends by using a multimedia delivery platform. The aim is to improve the quality of life of the elderly people who live alone. It is intended to enhance the lives of elderly people to stay connected with family members, and friends by sending multimedia content including text, audio, image and video. We analyze the factors affecting the elderly person's intention to use the platform by using Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. The model evaluates the effectiveness of the multimedia delivery platform over the six key UTAUT constructs, namely, Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitation Conditions, Perceived Security, and Experience and Voluntariness to Behavioral Intention. The analysis is twofold: to determine the factors affecting the intention of the elderly people in using the multimedia delivery platform, and to investigate how to reduce the communication gap between the elderly, family members and friends.

“…Various studies focused on video as an instructional tool (Stoddard, 2012) or good practice in design of remote control features was reported in the past (Lessiter, Freeman, Miotto, & Ferrari, 2008). Therefore, following studies of Santana and Anido (2016) and Orso, Spagnolli, Gamberini, Ibañez, and Fabregat (2016), this article investigates how end users evaluate the usability of the t-learning application. Altogether, three hypotheses are tested.…”

Digital Television as a Usable Platform for Enhancement of Learning Possibilities for the Elderly

The use of television (TV) for learning purposes has been a topic of interest for several decades. Although digital TV represents a highly up-and-coming platform for education, there is a plethora of issues from various areas. The primary goal of this article is to present details associated with the investigation of how elderly as a distinctive group of users perceive the usability of t-learning applications while communicating by diverse types of interaction tools and t-learning applications. These applications are focused on cognitive training, physical education, and game-like application dealing with building of family trees. A total of 119 subjects attended in the experiment. All participants participated in a group of appointments that involved 24 sessions for almost 3 months. The activity during these individual sessions demanded from 20 to 30 min of time, accumulating to between 8 and 12 hr in total. There were three hypotheses tested, focused on usability, and influence of age and gender. Evaluation of usability uncovers that t-learning applications have a higher chance of acceptance by the elderly when the content deals with mentally oriented tasks rather than physical exercise. In this way, it is proved that t-learning does not represent a suitable platform for stimulation of the elderly to undertake physical exercise.
