German Version of the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire in a Cohort of Patients With Cancer: Translation and Validation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Good usability is important for the adoption and continued use of mobile health (mHealth) apps. In particular, high usability can support intuitive use by patients, which improves compliance and increases the app's effectiveness. However, many usability studies do not use adequate tools to measure perceived usability. The mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ) was developed specifically for end users in a medical context. MAUQ is a relatively new but increasingly used questionnaire to evaluate mHealth apps, but it is not yet available in German.

Objective

This study aims to translate MAUQ into German and determine its internal consistency, reliability, and construct validity.

Methods

This validation study was conducted as part of a usability evaluation
