Guidelines for designing graphical user interfaces of mobile e-health communities

Published: 03 October 2012 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents a set of guidelines oriented to makes easier the creation of well-designed user interfaces of E-Health Communities accessed from mobile devices. We structured these guidelines considering the survey-obtained feedback from users which (regularly) entering social networks from mobile devices. These data were enriched by several approaches presented in previous literature. We show a first draft of the guidelines' application by using, and then we discuss the aspects that we are currently working on which will be reflected in short-term results.
