German Version of the Telehealth Usability Questionnaire and Derived Short Questionnaires for Usability and Perceived Usefulness in Health Care Assessment in Telehealth and Digital Therapeutics: Instrument Validation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The exponential growth of telehealth is revolutionizing health care delivery, but its evaluation has not matched the pace of its uptake. Various forms of assessment, from single-item to more extensive questionnaires, have been used to assess telehealth and digital therapeutics and their usability. The most frequently used questionnaire is the "Telehealth Usability Questionnaire" (TUQ). The use of the TUQ is limited by its restricted availability in languages other than English and its feasibility.

Objective

The aims of this study were to create a translated German TUQ version and to derive a short questionnaire for patients-"Telehealth Usability and Perceived Usefulness Short Questionnaire for patients" (TUUSQ).

Methods

As a first step, the original 21-item
