Abstract

Abstract While an increasing number of Informal CareGivers (ICGs) are assisting their dependent loved ones with the daily living tasks and medical care, they are rarely considered in the medical devices design process. The objective of this study is to identify the characteristics of ICGs impacting the use of the iHealth® Sense BP7 medical device, namely a connected wrist blood pressure monitor. For this purpose, user tests were conducted with 29 potential or actual ICGs. First, the participants filled out a socio-demographic questionnaire and then handled the blood pressure monitor. Finally, they completed the System Usability Scale questionnaire. The results revealed an impact of technophilia and age on usability dimensions. To conclude, the consideration of the ICG population in the design process of connected medical devices is discussed, particularly the age and level of technophilia.
