Abstract
Como parte inicial se propone una guìa general para Adultos mayores pero se descubrió que no sepuede incluir Adultos Mayores con personas con Down Syndrome en un solo grupo considerando Cognitives Disabilities como tema general. la necesidad de crear una guía enfocada a las personas con Syndrome de Down tomando en cuenta sus destresas y limitaciones.---ABSTRACT--- This study aims to propose a practical methodology to measure and
evaluate the usability of mHealth mobile
applications, focusing on elderly users
and their primary limitations. The study
starts with an analysis of existing
methodologies and tools to evaluate usability and integrates concepts related to
inspection and inquiry methods into a proposal. The proposal includes the
opinions of experts and representative users; their limitations; their profiles;
the types of applications and their domains; the type of devices used; the appli-
cability during the development process; and the accessibility. To facilitate the
application of the methodology and integrate concepts found in different tools
into one application, the creation of
a software tool that automates the
evaluation process is proposed. The applicability of the methodology and tools
is evaluated and finally the results, conclusions and recommendations for future
work are presented.
