Exploring usability characteristics in computer-based digital health technologies for family caregivers of people with chronic progressive conditions: A scoping review
Findings reflect a narrow focus on middle-aged, female, and spousal caregivers, limiting the utility of digital health technologies for more diverse groups of caregivers. In addition to commonly used inquiry-based usability evaluation methods, user-testing, heuristic evaluation, and analytic modelling may offer more adaptive and holistic approaches to address a wider range of digital technologies.
