A study exploring the usability of an exergaming platform for senior fitness testing

This study proposes a structural usability model to identify the relationship between the user interface design and the usability of an exergame system that includes a software system and a separate hardware device. The model consisted of two dimensions: the interface design, which was evaluated using Nielsen’s heuristic evaluation method, and the usability, as defined by ISO 9241-11. An empirical study used the iFit exergame system to test the physical fitness of 101 seniors in order to evaluate the model’s validity. The results showed a strong correlation between the interface design and the usability of the exergame system. An improved interface enabled users to interact with the system better, and the usability of the whole system was enhanced, including the device and the system itself. The results show that the proposed usability model can be used to evaluate other exergame systems.

The Relationship

Background: Even though problems with usability constitute a major challenge to the implementation of new eHealth technology, the field web-based interventions is lacking usability guidelines for development and evaluation of web-based intervention platforms. Objective: The aim of present study is to create a set of eHealth-specific usability guidelines for the development and evaluation of web-based mental health interventions. Methods: Knowledge about usability was gathered from peripheral fields of e-learning, emotional design, and human-computer interaction in a top-down approach. This knowledge was synthesized into usability guidelines for web-based interventions, which were then case-tested on an existing web-based intervention for patients with health anxiety, using the heuristic evaluation method. Results: Nine broad guidelines were developed. The subsequent case-test of the web-based intervention showed that application of the guidelines was feasible and was able to identify several important usability issues with the intervention. Conclusions: Health professionals should be included in intervention design. Future usability assessment should focus on the different usability attributes. The relationship between usability and adherence needs further investigation.

Evaluation of interface design is part of human and computer interaction (HCI-Human Computer Interaction). The focus of this study is to conduct heuristic evaluations on the interface design of an academic portal to determine the extent to which the academic portal meets the concept of usability. Academic portal is a website accessed by academics through a web browser. This portal can be accessed by students, lecturers, academic supervisors, Final Project supervisors, and other academics such as: Academic Administration Section (BAA), Study Programs, Libraries, Student Affairs, and Public Administration and Personnel Section (BAUK). This study uses heuristic evaluation as an approach in evaluating a human-machine system (man-machine system) in relation to academic portal ease of use (usability) and also severity ratings in addition to heuristic checklist. This study involved several evaluators who would conduct an assessment by filling in the heuristic checklist. The expected results with the evaluator's heuristic evaluation method found usability problems related to the general interface. These results are expected to be used by Mikroskil's academic portal system developers to make improvements to the academic portal currently in use
