In this study, we assessed the reliability of using a tablet application for collecting health data among older adults, in comparison to using paper surveys for this goal. Test-retest reliability between the two modalities, usability, user experience factors, and older adults' preference were determined. The results show perfect agreement between tablet and paper for the SARC-F and high agreement for the SF-36 physical scale and EQ-5D. Usability and user experience factors were perceived the same for both modalities. The majority of the participants preferred the tablet for health screening purposes, mainly because of its ease of use. This study shows that using tablets for health screenings among older adults does not affect test reliability, and that older adults prefer the tablet to paper for completing these tests.
在本研究中，我们评估了相较于使用纸质调查问卷收集老年人健康数据，使用平板电脑应用程序收集此类数据的可靠性。确定了两种方式之间的重测信度、可用性、用户体验因素以及老年人的偏好。结果显示，在SARC-F量表上平板电脑和纸质问卷的结果完全一致，在SF-36身体量表和EQ-5D量表上高度一致。两种方式的可用性和用户体验因素被认为相同。大多数参与者出于健康筛查目的更喜欢平板电脑，主要是因为其使用方便。本研究表明，在老年人中使用平板电脑进行健康筛查不会影响测试可靠性，并且老年人在完成这些测试时更喜欢平板电脑而非纸质问卷。
