Themes related to application usability and acceptability with participants that arise from qualitative analyses of participant responses to the semi-structured interview
Measured: After two weeks of application use
System Usability Scale (SUS) Scores
Total scale scores range from 0 to 100, with higher numbers reflecting more positive impressions of application usability. Scores will be interpreted according to published guidance from the developer of the SUS.
Measured: After two weeks of application use
Usage data recorded by the application
count of features used and time spent with each feature
Measured: 2 weeks
