A review on the mobile applications developed for COVID-19: An exploratory analysis
The objective of this research is to explore the existing mobile applications
developed for the COVID-19 pandemic. To obtain this research objective, firstly
the related applications were selected through the systematic search technique
in the popular application stores. Secondly, data related to the app
objectives, functionalities provided by the app, user ratings, and user reviews
were extracted. Thirdly, the extracted data were analyzed through the affinity
diagram, noticing-collecting-thinking, and descriptive analysis. As outcomes,
the review provides a state-of-the-art view of mobile apps developed for
COVID-19 by revealing nine functionalities or features. It revealed ten factors
related to information systems design characteristics that can guide future app
design. The review outcome highlights the need for new development and further
refinement of the existing applications considering not only the revealed
objectives and their associated functionalities, but also revealed design
characteristics such as reliability, performance, usefulness, supportive,
security, privacy, flexibility, responsiveness, ease of use, and cultural
sensitivity.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, 4 table

Exploring the impact of design technique on usability: A case study on designing the eHealth websites using card sorting and interactive dialogue model
Abstract The design and infoâarchitecture of the web content contribute significantly to achieving better usability and user experience as well as to adopting a website to its intended endâusers. Although several design techniques exist, choosing a suitable one for designing a particular type of website is difficult and needs further investigation. Thus, the objective of this research is to explore the impact of a design technique on web usability and to find out the best suitable design technique for a particular type of website. To achieve these objectives, two separate websites for providing electronic health services named Citizen Health Service portal were developed using the two mostly used design techniques, namely card sorting and interactive dialogue model (IDM). The usability of both websites was evaluated through a laboratoryâbased usability testing approach with 20 participants. The study result showed that the IDM performs better in designing such an informationâintensive website
