Abstract

© 2015 IEEE. Mobile applications in general, and mobile applications for health education in particular, are commonly used to support patients, health professionals and other stakeholders. A critical evaluation framework is needed to ensure the usability and reliability of mobile applications for health education in order to save time and effort for the various stakeholders. This paper proposes a framework for evaluating mobile applications for health education. The intended outcome is to meet the needs and demands of different stakeholders and provide improvement for software engineering by creating new and more effective ways to evaluate such software. We conclude with some specific evaluation metrics that we applied in our evaluation framework: a hybrid utilizing heuristic evaluation (HE) and usability evaluation (UE).
