Usability Assessment of a Tablet PC Designed for Old Patients: the "Ardoiz" Tikeasy Tablet.

In the last ten years, gerontechnology is becoming an increasing topic in geriatric medicine. Nevertheless, there are still few studies assessing the usability of technologies in old patients, especially when they are hospitalized. Moreover, it has been shown that new technologies could be a source of ageism, thence the importance of involving the old people in the development of these technologies.

Tik easy is a subsidiary of La Poste Company. Tik easy as designed a new tablet PC for old people. Research tends to show that the use of tablet PC can promote health and well-aging, and delay cognitive decline. In this study, we want to give a free access to "Ardoiz", the tablet PC designed by Tik easy, for old patients hospitalized in a geriatric acute care unit. The "Ardoiz" tablet PC allows to:

  • Maintain the family and social bond (send and receive messages, share photos and videos, call remotely between the patient and his family)
  • Discovering the Internet at his own pace (browse the Internet with daily updated contents such as news, content on cooking, music, etc.).
  • Prevent cognitive aging (stimulate cognitive abilities with the DYNSEO games).
  • Facilitate online administrative procedures.

Detailed Description

The "Ardoiz" tablet PC will be given to old patients hospitalized in the acute care geriatric unit of the university hospital of Angers. Patients and their relatives will have a free access to "Ardoiz" during their hospitalisation. The maximum duration of use will be 9 days. After the using period, a survey will be proposed to the patients and their relatives. This survey include questions concerning usability (using the validated SUS questionnaire), ergonomics (using non validated specific questionnaire with closed questions oriented on "Ardoiz" device), satisfaction (general and specific questions using non validated questionnaire with forced choice Likert scale in 4 points and closed questions). After recruiting all expected patients and relatives; the survey will also be submitted to the professional caregivers of the unit.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Usability of the Ardoiz® tablet PC
Time Frame: During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital
The usability will be assessed using the validated System Usability Scale (SUS). The mean score obtained by users will be calculated. "Ardoiz" will be considered as usable if the mean score on the SUS is equal or over 70 on 100.
During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Satisfaction of the users following the use of the Ardoiz® tablet PC.
Time Frame: During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital
The satisfaction will be assessed using a non-validated satisfaction questionnaire based on a forced choice Likert scale in 4 points from 1 to 4. The mean score obtained by users will be used. Users will be considered as satisfied if the mean score is over 2 on 4.
During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital
Frequency of use of the Ardoiz® tablet PC by elderly hospitalized patients.
Time Frame: During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital
The frequency of use will be described using a non-validated questionnary based on 4 closed questions.
During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital
Most appreciated ergonomic elements for the users
Time Frame: During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital
The ergonomic elements will be assessed using a single choice closed liste of ergonomic elements. The most ergonomic elements will be ranked in descending order of citation by users.
During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital
Improvement areas regarding the ergonomics of the Ardoiz® tablet PC.
Time Frame: During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital
The ergonomic elements will be assessed using a single choice closed liste of ergonomic elements. The less ergonomic elements will be ranked in descending order of citation by users.
During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital
Improvement areas regarding the functions of the Ardoiz® tablet PC.
Time Frame: During the 48 hours before the discharge of the hospital
The satisfaction concerning functions of "Ardoiz" will be assessed using a single choice closed liste of functions. The less appreciated functions will be ranked in descending order of citation by users.
