Abstract
Heart disease is one of the most prominent silent killers in the world. Treating the heart disease health problems is considerably costly. In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), heart patients are now able to monitor their heart conditions using heart disease monitoring applications on any mobile devices. Usability factors such as ease of use, ease of learning, efficiency, flexibility and the attitude of users towards the applications are deemed important in determining the usability of such mobile applications. This paper employs a systematic literature review method in analyzing 1,339 relevant articles. Based on the review, this paper theoretically contributes by proposing a conceptual model that integrates haptics tactile feedback into heart disease monitoring mobile applications with the aim of enhancing the usability of the heart disease monitoring mobile applications. This is expected to lead to ease of health monitoring by both patients and health professionals, and potentially reduce the frequency of visits to hospitals and the cost of medical expenses. This paper also investigates the potentials of haptics tactile feedback in the forms of vibration, pressure, touch, texture, and movement when users are interacting with the applications.
