Benchmarking mobile applications for the health of people with Diabetes Mellitus ^* * The publication of this article in the Thematic Series “Digital health: nursing contributions” is part of Activity 2.2 of Reference Term 2 of the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centre for Nursing Research Development, Brazil. This study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) - Finance Code 001, Brazil.

Objective:

to map the content and features of mobile applications on the management of Diabetes Mellitus and their usability on the main operating systems.

Method:

benchmarking research. The mapping of apps, content, and resources on the Play Store and App Store platforms was based on an adaptation of the Joanna Briggs Institute’s scoping review framework. For the usability analysis, the apps were tested for two weeks and the System Usability Scale instrument was used, with scores between 50-67 points being considered borderline, between 68-84, products with acceptable usability and above 85, excellent user acceptance and, for the analysis, descriptive statistics.

Results:

the most prevalent contents were capillary blood glucose management, diet, oral drug therapy, and insulin therapy. As for resources, diaries and graphs were the most common. With regard to usability, two apps were considered to have excellent usability; 34, products with acceptable usability; 29, the resource may have some flaws but still has acceptable usability standards and 6, with flaws and no usability conditions.

Conclusion:

the content and resources of mobile applications address the fundamental points for managing Diabetes Mellitus with user-friendly resources, with usability acceptable to users and have the potential to assist in the management of Diabetes Mellitus in patients’ daily lives.

Descriptors:
Diabetes Mellitus; Mobile Applications; eHealth Strategies; Telenursing; Health Promotion; Digital Inclusion

Highlights:

(1) The usability of digital platform apps was systematically evaluated.

(2) Most apps for people with Diabetes Mellitus have good usability.

(3) The study provides an overview of the features available in the apps.

(4) The apps have the potential to help in the management of Diabetes Mellitus.

(5) The apps should be evaluated by reliability criteria for recommendation.
