Learnability of a Configurator Empowering End Users to Create Mobile Data Collection Instruments: Usability Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Many research domains still heavily rely on paper-based data collection procedures, despite numerous associated drawbacks. The QuestionSys framework is intended to empower researchers as well as clinicians without programming skills to develop their own smart mobile apps in order to collect data for their specific scenarios.

Objective

In order to validate the feasibility of this model-driven, end-user programming approach, we conducted a study with 80 participants.

Methods

Across 2 sessions (7 days between Session 1 and Session 2), participants had to model 10 data collection instruments (5 at each session) with the developed configurator component of the framework. In this context, performance measures like the time and operations needed as well as the res
