Older adults’ satisfaction with mHealth UI design-based culture: A case study of Jordan

The dramatic growth of the older population worldwide has resulted in a renewed need for mobile health applications (mHealth apps). The use of mHealth UI-designed-based culture can be useful in improving the quality of healthcare for elderly users. Therefore, there is a need for a comprehensive examination of the impact of mHealth UI design-based culture on older adult people’s satisfaction. This study was conducted to promote older adults’ satisfaction with mHealth UI design-based culture in a culturally specific context. We examined the influence of learning, screen, application capabilities, and terminology and application information on older adults’ overall satisfaction with mHealth UI. Eighty-five older adults’ users from general population in Jordan participated in this study. The results showed different correlation coefficients between these factors. This study paves the way for future research to consider culture in the design of mHealth UI.
