ABSTRACT
This paper seeks to expand the theoretical and methodological practices of technical communicators by expounding on the use of Mobile Interface Theory (MIT) in the usability evaluation of a telemedicine mobile interface. MIT is an effective conceptual tool to use to design usability studies of user interfaces in the mobile context as well as to identify digital rhetoric for which usability serves as a proxy.
