Validating the Assessment Metrics for Mobile Health Apps: Preliminary Outcomes from a Pilot Study

Published: 29 September 2015 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper, we validate six assessment metrics (usefulness, effectiveness, veracity, interactivity, customization, and user acceptability) for mobile health apps with 10 healthcare apps and 11 student evaluators. The preliminary results show that all of the six metrics are appropriate for the evaluation of a health app.
