Bridging Safety Language Disparities in Orchards: A Pesticide Label Mobile App

ABSTRACT Objectives: The goal of this project was to determine if a mobile application displaying pesticide label information in Spanish and English was a viable approach to addressing safety and health disparities for orchard workers. This study assessed pesticide label use patterns in orchards; application user experience; and the potential of modern information systems to deliver bilingual content. Methods: Pesticide handlers and orchard managers were asked to use a mobile application prototype for a period of one month in 2016. A convenience sample of ten participants completed a 36-question interview to share their experiences. The research team summarized interview responses with summary statistics and grouped content analysis. Results: Mean participant (n=10) age was 49. Eight were Latinx and spoke Spanish as their primary language. Six used the app frequently (15 times), one used it sometimes (6 – 10 times), and three used it rarely or occasionally (1 – 5 times). All participants viewed sections about product information and personal protective equipment. Most viewed information related to emergency and first aid, hazards, and storage and disposal. Overall user experience was positive, with an emphasis on the importance of access to label information in Spanish. Conclusion: The overwhelming majority of the Pacific Northwest agricultural workforce is Spanish-speaking, despite critical pesticide safety information being provided on lengthy product label documents in technical English. This project demonstrated that the mobile application seems to be a viable approach to reducing language disparities and improving Latinx orchard worker safety.

User experience pada Implementasi Virtual Reality sebagai Media Pembelajaran Anak Pengidap Autisme

Anak pengidap autisme memiliki respon yang kurang terhadap stimulus yang datang dari orang lain atau keadaan yang ada disekitarnya sehingga anak sulit untuk menerima informasi dari guru tentang bagaimana untuk melakukan keterampilan perawatan diri dibandingkan dengan anak normal seusianya. Maka dari itu dibutuhkan media pembelajaran untuk melatih keterampilan anak pengidap autisme dalam perawatan diri. Disisi lain, pengoptimalan teknologi VR sebagai media pembelajaran tentang perawatan diri untuk anak pengidap autisme masih jarang. Metode HCD ini digunakan dalam pembuatan User experience pada VR sebagai media pembelajaran untuk anak pengidap autisme. Alur penelitian yang dilakukan dimulai dari studi literatur, analisis konteks penggunaan, analisis kebutuhan user, pembuatan desain solusi, evaluasi desain solusi, hasil dan kesimpulan. User experience Questionnaire (UEQ) dipilih sebagai alat ukur dan evaluasi user experience aplikasi karena UEQ memungkinkan penilaian yang cepat dari sebuah produk dan sudah tersedia data analisys tools. Hasil penelitian yang diadakan di SLB Negeri Semarang dan SLB Putra Mandiri menunjukkan nilai rata-rata yang diperoleh dari hasil evaluasi user experience aplikasi menggunakan UEQ yaitu pada Attractiveness sebesar 1,41, Perspicuity sebesar 1,80, Efficiency sebesar 1,28, Dependability sebesar 1,80, Stimulation sebesar 1,49, Novelty sebesar 1,39, dan dapat dikatakan bahwa desain menurut skala UEQ memiliki user experience yang positif karena semua skala diatas 0.8.

Usability Evaluation of Mobile Health Application from AI Perspective in Rural Areas of Pakistan

<p><strong>Purpose:</strong> This study endorses AI enabled Mobile Health application and investigates usability evaluation of the Mobile Health application by patients’ task performance evaluation and satisfaction.</p><p><strong>Materials and Methods</strong>: International Organization for Standards (ISO) 9241-11 standard metrics were used and 15 patients performed tasks on task success rate, errors, efficiency (time spent), satisfaction (SUS scale).</p><p><strong>Results:</strong> Getting registered was a top easy task while finding a relevant doctor was the most difficult task for users. The satisfaction scores by SUS suggest good rather excellent application user experience. Male were successful task achievers, while educational level and mobile know-how influence the usability scores in terms of time consumed, task errors occurred, and task completed.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Methods used in this study suggest future research from different contexts. Using ISO 9241-11 usability standards, the SUS instrument for satisfaction, and measuring user characteristics influence performance and can provide considerable Mobile Health design.</p>
