Human-Centered Design of Mobile Health Apps for Older Adults: Systematic Review and Narrative Synthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The world is aging. The number of older patients is on the rise, and along with it comes the burden of noncommunicable diseases, both clinical and economic. Attempts with mobile health (mHealth) have been made to remedy the situation with promising outcomes. Researchers have adopted human-centered design (HCD) in mHealth creation to ensure those promises become a reality.

Objective

This systematic review aims to explore existing literature on relevant primary research and case studies to (1) illustrate how HCD can be used to create mHealth solutions for older adults and (2) summarize the overall process with recommendations specific to the older population.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review to address the study objectives. IEEE Xplore, Medline via Ov
