Abstract
The Help2Care e-Health platform was developed in order to capacitate informal caregivers with digital, multimedia training materials. Health professionals select these materials according to the needs of the homebound patients under the supervision of these caregivers. In turn, caregiver can then use their smartphones to consult and apply the care procedures illustrated by these materials. In this paper, we present the results of performed usability tests for both web and mobile software applications of the Help2Care platform. These indicate an overall positive outcome, revealing less usable aspects such as the navigation flow in the web application and some design elements in the mobile application. Important written feedback was also collected, which we took into consideration to improve the software features of the platform.
