Design Guidelines of Mobile Apps for Older Adults: Systematic Review and Thematic Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mobile apps are fundamental tools in today's society for practical and social endeavors. However, these technologies are often not usable for older users. Given the increased use of mobile apps by this group of users and the impact that certain services may have on their quality of life, such as mobile health, personal finance, or online administrative procedures, a clear set of guidelines for mobile app designers is needed. Existing recommendations for older adults focus on investigations with certain groups of older adults or have not been extracted from experimental results.

Objective

In this research work, we systematically reviewed the scientific literature that provided recommendations for the design of mobile apps based on usability testing with older adult
