    This study aimed to develop a mobile health application to assess frailty in older adults in La Trinidad, Benguet. The researchers explored issues with frailty assessment, identified design specifications for a mobile app, and tested the usability of an app they developed. They found key problems were a lack of assessment tools, limited health services, and few geriatric programs. The app was designed for accessibility, profiles, interventions, and simple navigation. Usability testing confirmed the app was useful, provided quality information, and had a quality interface. The researchers concluded they successfully created a frailty assessment mobile app called Mabikas using a user-centered design process.

    Abstract

    RHEYNALYN F. JOSE, MARY GRACE G. MANGUHAN, CHRISTINE A. PEANG,

    DANICA A. TAGUIAM, and RANJAKE A. VELASCO, December 2020. Development of

    Frailty Assessment Mobile Health Application for Older Adults in La Trinidad, Benguet.

    Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet.

    Adviser: Mark U. Gay-as, MAN, RN, EMT

    The rapid increase in the aging population is tantamount to an increase of older adults at risk of
    Frailty syndrome. Frailty is a global health burden since it has a great impact on the health of the
    older adult. Frailty is a condition among the aging population that develops as a result of age-
    related weakness in multiple physiological systems, causing an older adult more vulnerable to
    sudden changes in health status and increased risk for unintended or unwanted events. Previous
    studies have shown that frailty and co-existing diseases are associated with a lower quality of life
    in older adults. However, this condition is reversible with early detection and interventions.
    Significantly, mHealth has been recorded to be of great help in health care information and
    management of chronic diseases wherein frailty assessment mHeatlh app can be used in the
    community health setting as a tool to identify risks and suggest interventions.This study aimed to
    explore the end-user environment and problems relating to the frailty assessment of the older
    adult, discover the design specifications mHealth app, and determine the usability of the
    developed frailty mHealth app.The study employed the Modified Information Systems Research
    (MISR) framework, combining two user-centered design methods, viz; Information Systems
    Research and Design Thinking. Twenty-two research participants representing various roles:
    public health nurses and midwives, barangay health workers, and caregivers from barangay
    Pico, Balli and Betag consented to the study. The data collection instruments are the Post-Study
    System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ) and the guides for observations, interviews or focus
    group discussion, think-aloud protocol, brainstorming, prototyping, and personas. The problems
    relating to frailty assessment are Frailty assessment tools are not existing, Risk assessment
    among older adults is not a mandatory service, Access to health services are limited and
    disrupted, Indifference with frailty as a public health problem in the older adult, and Lack of
    geriatric-specific programs in community health facilities (FRAIL). The design specifications are
    Navigations and functions, Accessibility, Profile/demographics, Interventions, Good color
    combinations, Simple screen contents, and Appropriate language (NAPIGSA). Despite the
    different perspectives from the participants, the study were able to developed a mHealth app
    applicable to both health workers and family caregivers. Thus, the usability testing confirmed
    the mHealth app as satisfying and performing in terms of system usefulness, information quality,
    and interface quality. Utilizing the Modified Information Systems Research framework (MISR) ,
    the study developed a frailty assessment mHeath app termed Mabikas, a local dialect related to
    strength and health in the elderly.
