“…HCWs seem to prefer information explaining treatments, diseases, and measurements related to their own specific situation (Cawsey et al, 2000;Harbarth & Emonet, 2006). Moreover, studies in health promotion suggest that information has a higher impact when it is adapted to the individual situation (Garg et al, 2005;Kawamoto et al, 2005;Peleg et al, 2009;Thomas et al, 1999;Thursky & Mahemoff, 2007). Tailored guidelines that are adapted to the individual HCW at the level of sentences, phrases, and even words avoid the need to search through the copious guideline documentation available.…”

Several research papers have presented crucial work on the needed functionality of home healthcare systems as well as on methods for evaluating the usability of such systems. There is also considerable work on usability problems experienced with systems that are targeted at medical staff. Yet, much less effort has been devoted to identification of usability problems in systems targeted at elderly patients. This paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by presenting two empirically based usability evaluation studies of different home healthcare systems targeted at elderly users. The aim is to understand key usability problems that this type of target group experience while using such systems. Findings show that a group of elderly test subjects experience a high number of problems compared to a younger control group. In particular, the group of elderly subjects primarily experienced a high number of information related problems regarding e.g. technical information and ambiguous menu labeling. Furthermore, it was found that the group of elderly subjects was more sensitive to lack of overview of menu items. In practice, the studies presented in this paper can be applied to inform designers of home healthcare systems to be particularly aware of the type of information given in a user interface and how this is given to an elderly target group.

Information and communication technology users in rural communities of developing countries are still learners and also lack the knowledge of the potentials of these technologies. To enhance the usability and promote the acceptance of information technologies into their daily life, the medium of interaction should be able to meet the capabilities and cultural preferences of the target users. User interface design for products and services targeting rural users is a big challenge and requires adequate effort, proper understanding of the users and their socio-cultural environments. A study was conducted to design a mobile user interface for users in a rural community in South Africa. The aim of the study is to bring information technology services closer to the people and encourage micro-economic activities in the community. The objective is to design a user interface that will be easy to use and meet users' cultural preferences. We have applied user-centred design methods and collected both qualitative and quantitative data to guide the design process. This paper presents the design of a shop-owner user interface and a mobile commerce application to promote rural microentrepreneurship and economic development. The evaluation of the user interface with the target users was conducted and the technology acceptance model was used to measure users' perception of the shop-owner user interface. The statistics analysis of the data shows that users perceive the application and interface as useful, easy to use and intend to use the system.
