There is a need for high quality evaluation instruments when testing new mobile

MobiHealth Usability Evaluation Questionnaire. It was developed in a step-wise

consensus process with close interaction between researchers, technology

developers and end-users. The questionnaire ten dimensions: functionality, user

considerations. These dimensions are defined and their usage as parameters in an

evaluation instrument is discussed. The conclusion is that the MobiHealth Evaluation

Questionnaire can be used as a basis for method development when evaluating

mobile care and rehabilitative devices, but it should be tested for reliability before

actual use. (Less)
