Older Adults Can Successfully Monitor Symptoms Using an Inclusively Designed Mobile Application.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures can monitor patients with chronic illnesses outside of healthcare settings. Unfortunately, few applications that collect electronic PROMIS measures are designed using inclusive design principles that ensure wide accessibility and usability, thus limiting use by older adults with chronic illnesses. Our aim was to establish the feasibility of using an inclusively designed mobile application tailored to older adults to report PROMIS measures by examining (1) PROMIS scores collected with the application, (2) patient-reported usability of the application, and (3) differences in usability by age.
