Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The feasibility of the app SELFPASS is examined on the basis of these criteria: • Functionality and quality of data acquisition: Are the functions of the app programmed correctly and lead to traceable results, intervention suggestions and history information? • Everyday suitability: Can the app be integrated into everyday life or are obstacles seen with regard to time and effectiveness? • Acceptance: Is the app accepted positively, or are there any fundamental concerns, for example regarding privacy, security, etc.? User acceptance refers to the nature of the subject's involvement with SELFPASS. This means examining the relationship between positive acceptance and rejection of the system. The main objective criteria are checked against the results of self-developed and standardized questionnaires.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary objective is the improvement of current developments in the BMBF funding project SELFPASS. The aim is to receive concrete suggestions for improvement from the subjects who can still flow into the implementation. These collateral targets are checked against some items in the questionnaires and further qualitative comments. Another secondary objective criterion is the investigation of technology trust, attitudes to information systems and the usability of the system.
