Abstract

Objective: Usability of technological devices is an important and relevant construct as mobile technologies are increasingly used to deliver healthcare products. Most accessible devices are smartphone and smartwatch but information on their usability is scarce. The aim of this study is to compare the usability of smartphone and smartwatch devices in delivering an exercise platform to individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) among two focus groups: individuals with T2DM and clinicians.
