摘要: This study aims to propose a practical methodology measure and evaluate the usability of mHealth mobile applications, focusing on elderly users their primary limitations. The starts with an analysis existing methodologies tools integrates concepts related inspection inquiry methods into proposal. proposal includes opinions experts representative users; limitations; profiles; types applications domains; type devices used; applicability during development process; accessibility. To facilitate application integrate found in different one application, creation software tool that automates evaluation process is proposed. evaluated finally results, conclusions recommendations for future work are presented.
