BACKGROUND
Health Application has unique characteristics compared to other applications. This application is needed to support the health of users/families with various facilities provided according to their functions and objectives. Usability measurement is carried out to evaluate the successful use of the application with various usability criteria.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to identify, analyze and synthesize the usability evaluation of a mobile health application.
METHODS
The review was carried out on 61 selected papers from 799 usability papers from the web of science and Scopus in the 2013 to 2021 time period. Reviews are limited to applications in the form of mobile applications.
RESULTS
Based on the results of the review, it was identified that the medical/health technology journal group contributed the most, with a total of 13 papers. Meanwhile, mHealth apps mostly function for treatment and self-care/self-management, such as type II diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS
