Technology for context–aware field data collection
Read the following study on Technology for context–aware field data collection to answer the following;
Activity 1
From reading through this paper answer the following:
1. What is the aim of this study
2. What is the study design
3. Why was the application evaluated in the wild rather than in a controlled laboratory setting?
4. Two types of data are presented from the field study. What does each contribute to our understanding of the study?
Activity 2
Select a Health Application that you regularly use and evaluate it using Yáñez Gómez et al. (2014) heuristics.
1. Do these heuristics help you to identify important usability and user
experience issues?
2. Does being aware of the heuristics influence how you interact with
the applications in any way?
Activity 3
Consider the following design guidelines for information design and for each one suggest a question that could be used in heuristic evaluation.
1. Interactive eHealth apps for complex messaging should enable exposure tracking and performance indicators. (Heffernan et al., 2016)
Do eHealth apps for complex messaging enable users to access tracking and performance information?
2. Avoid excessive use of color. Color is useful for indicating different kinds of information, i.e. cueing (Koyani et al, 2004)
Avoid excessive use of color. How color used? Is it used as form of coding? Is it used to make the site bright and cheerful? Is it excessive and garish? Does it have an impact on the user’s enjoyment?
