To address this issue, a usability study(https://leesooy.wixsite.com/farexercise) was created for breast cancer survivors to help them meet the exercise requirement recommended by the World Health Organization. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usability of the exercise guide program for survivors on the basis of ease-of-use and effectiveness. Case-Based Learning theory was associated with exercise guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine Roundtable and followed Nielsen’s usability heuristics.
During one-on-one task sessions, a total of 10 breast cancer survivors and co-survivors provided substantial insights in which catalyzed potential improvements of this program through three rounds. After each session, the program was updated, according to the feedback in areas of visual design, contents, navigation, and accessibility.
Throughout the TCC session, the researcher will discuss the study procedures and results based on collected data which demonstrated the importance of simplicity and user interaction in improving user satisfaction. Further updates are suggested as the foundation of continuous improvements.
