“…The system was tested by a group of 14 seniors. In [26], an interactive platform, running on an Android STB, was developed and tested by 8 participants over 60 years old to promote the info-inclusion in the elderly population, providing informative contents about useful services, previously obtained via focus groups. Its current application is somehow limited since it is based only on open streaming TV channels.…”

“…In this perspective, the use of TV sets has been proposed as an easy-to-use technological solution that offers some advantageous features and may increase technology acceptance. Namely, it has a familiar interface, and therefore, the elderly are used to control their basic functions, the screen is large enough to show large text and icons, it is very easy to adjust the audio level, and finally, almost everyone has one, thus reducing the additional charge [6,[21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Remote monitoring of biometric data in the elderly population is an important asset for improving the quality of life and level of independence of elderly people living alone. However, the design and implementation of health technological solutions often disregard the elderly physiological and psychological abilities, leading to low adoption of these technologies. We evaluate the usability of a remote patient monitoring solution, VITASENIOR-MT, which is based on the interaction with a television set. Twenty senior participants (over 64 years) and a control group of 20 participants underwent systematic tests with the health platform and assessed its usability through several questionnaires. Elderly participants scored high on the usability of the platform, very close to the evaluation of the control group. Sensory, motor and cognitive limitations were the issues that most contributed to the difference in usability assessment between the elderly group and the control group. The solution showed high usability and acceptance regardless of age, digital literacy, education and impairments (sensory, motor and cognitive), which shows its effective viability for use and implementation as a consumer product in the senior market.
