Abstract
Applications have been developed for medical personnel to use in various dimensions, including disease screening. This is particularly beneficial for inexperienced medical personnel, especially when dealing with similar disease groups. The purpose of this research was to gather information pertaining to application development from experts and assess user interface satisfaction. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methods. Two sample groups were involved, comprising a group of three experts and a group of students in the field of medical professionals, specifically in physiotherapy and Thai traditional medicine, totaling 26 individuals. The tool utilized in this qualitative study was a semi-structured interview, specifically in-depth interviews conducted with experts. Subsequently, it was developed into a prototype user interface using Visual Studio and Xamarin. In the quantitative study, a satisfaction assessment survey was employed among medical professional students. Descriptive statistics were utilized to analyze the general data.
The results obtained from experts differed from those of previous studies but indicated the usefulness and feasibility of development into an application. In this study, a menu screen was designed with three sections: general information, objective examinations, and physical examinations. The satisfaction levels of student participants across all topics were very high. The aspect with the highest satisfaction score was language usage (4.35 ± 0.69 points), while the lowest satisfaction score was attributed to the aesthetic interface (3.92 ± 1.02 points). Additional suggestions included adjustments to the user interface, question details, and usability.
