“…For example, there may be a useful purpose for these kinds of apps in both domestic and emergency scenarios such as hurricanes or severe storms. Indeed, the development of emergency AT could help to reduce the disproportionately high level of morbidity among the DHOH during natural disasters [41]. Mobile apps or devices could have a preprogrammed functionality that assists DHOH persons in an emergency, although this warrants further research.…”

Background The spread of technology and dissemination of knowledge across the World Wide Web has prompted the development of apps for American Sign Language (ASL) translation, interpretation, and syntax recognition. There is limited literature regarding the quality, effectiveness, and appropriateness of mobile health (mHealth) apps for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHOH) that pose to aid the DHOH in their everyday communication and activities. Other than the star-rating system with minimal comments regarding quality, the evaluation metrics used to rate mobile apps are commonly subjective. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of DHOH apps using a standardized scale. In addition, it also aimed to identify content-specific criteria to improve the evaluation process by using a content expert, and to use the content expert to more accurately evaluate apps and features supporting the DHOH. Methods A list of potential apps for evaluation was generated after a preliminary screening for apps related to the DHOH. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed to refine the master list of apps. The study modified a standardized rating scale with additional content-specific criteria applicable to the DHOH population for app evaluation. This was accomplished by including a DHOH content expert in the design of content-specific criteria. Results The results indicate a clear distinction in Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) scores among apps within the study’s three app categories: ASL translators (highest score=3.72), speech-to-text (highest score=3.6), and hard-of-hearing assistants (highest score=3.90). Of the 217 apps obtained from the search criteria, 21 apps met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Furthermore, the limited consideration for measures specific to the target population along with a high app turnover rate suggests opportunities for improved app effectiveness and evaluation. Conclusions As more mHealth apps enter the market for the DHOH population, more criteria-based evaluation is needed to ensure the safety and appropriateness of the apps for the intended users. Evaluation of population-specific mHealth apps can benefit from content-specific measurement criteria developed by a content expert in the field.

“…Special populations who may be particularly vulnerable in a disaster also must be considered in disaster planning. [160][161][162][163][164][165][166][167] These populations might include pediatrics, geriatrics, patients who are technology or highly resource dependent, and those living in settings lacking technology infrastructure or sufficient transportation.…”

“…Por outo lado, tendo em vista que os EUA é um país desenvolvido, essa situação sugere que a deficiência de saberes com relação à Libras é uma dificuldade que requer mais do que melhores condições econômicas do país. O desenvolvimento de programas de treinamento efetivos e acessíveis para os profissionais que trabalham com usuários surdos e com deficiência auditiva, por exemplo, exigirá um esforço colaborativo entre agências de resposta a emergências, organizações de saúde pública e membros das comunidades afetadas (KAMAU et al, 2017). Não se pode deixar de levar em consideração que, em detrimento da forma como a surdez foi associada à esfera patológica, criou-se um estigma que colocou os indivíduos portadores dessa condição, por vezes, em um local de subalternidade marcado pelo preconceito e pela exclusão social (ABREU; ZUCHIWSCHI, 2015).…”
