Influence of Design Elements in Mobile Applications on User Experience of Elderly People

Technology in the field of health care has taken a step forward for making health maintenance easy on a daily basis. With a gradual increase in the elderly population, it is important to provide them with facilities made accessible through technological innovations. But it is observed that the elderly show reluctance to the use of new technology such as mobile applications. In this paper, an effort is made to overcome this barrier with the study of both elderly user experiences and user interface design of an mHealth application and an analysis of the relation between them.
