Holden RJ, Campbell NL, Abebe E, et al. Usability and feasibility of consumer-facing technology to reduce unsafe medication use by older adults. Res Social Adm Pharm. 2020;16(1):54-61. doi:10.1016/j.sapharm.2019.02.011.
This usability study examined whether older adults could use a mobile application to consider the risks and benefits of anticholinergics, a high-risk medication class. The 23 participants reported an overall high usability for the application, suggesting that mobile health information technology has potential to engage patients in safety.
