Assessing the User Experience of the EU Mobile App for Cancer Prevention: Mixed Methods Study
The app is generally usable across diverse populations but requires streamlined interfaces and design adaptations to accommodate varying digital health literacy. Ensuring robust data privacy practices is essential for fostering user trust, and integrating motivational elements may enhance sustained engagement. Future work will involve piloting the finalized app to evaluate its real-world uptake and impact on cancer prevention behaviors.
