Usability analysis reveals improved accessibility for older adults managing diabetes, suggesting further design refinements are needed.
Diabetes management presents unique usability challenges for older adults, particularly in adopting digital health tools. This study evaluates the usability of the GlucoCheck Companion App , which interfaces with a non-invasive glucose monitoring device using AI-driven near-infrared technology. Twelve older adults (aged 65+) participated in a usability test involving core app tasks such as real-time glucose viewing, historical data tracking, and food logging. Findings suggest that GlucoCheck offers a user-friendly, accessible solution for older adults managing diabetes, but continued refinement is essential to address age-related accessibility needs. The study contributes to advancing human-centered design for mobile health tools supporting chronic disease management in aging populations.
