Diretrizes para desenvolvimento de aplicativo mhealth Android para o contexto hospitalar

Abstract

Mobile devices have become quite popular over the last few years and as a result, the number of applications for the most diverse functions is available for download, most of them being free of charge. However, this range of applications does not follow minimum usability parameters, which limits a high rejection rate by users. Within this mobile world, the insertion of devices that help the health processes called mHealth has shown an exponential growth in recent years and with this, the warning signal about the efficiency and security of information was triggered. To remedy this weakness, the introduction of user-centered development techniques in the application development process is crucial to minimize the problem. Numerous surveys cite the need for usability in mHealth applications, but none of them points out how to get it. Thus, this work aims to verify whether the design guidelines made available by the Google/Android platform, which presents itself as a contribution to mobile software developers, presents guidelines that allow to obtain the maximum usability of these applications, taking into account the proposed user profile and the usage context involved. To this end, the proposal will be based on the comparison between the guidelines contained in the ISO standard (9241) and in consultation with the style guide of the platform called material design.
