The use of mobile devices by healthcare professionals has led to rapid growth in the development of mobile healthcare applications designed to improve healthcare services. This study was conducted to assess the acceptability and usability of a mobile application for health professionals in relation to their work in hospitalization at home. A mixed methods approach was used. Acceptance, included the satisfaction of the professionals, attitudes toward using the application, and intention or willingness to continue using the application. Usability tests were performed in laboratory analyzing five controlled clinical tasks, and the interaction of the participants with the mobile application was based on the six basic facial expressions published by the American Psychological Association. Perceived satisfaction was assessed using the computer system usability questionnaire. Thirty-two participants completed the task scenarios and questionnaire. More than 90 per cent of participants were able to complete the tasks with only some difficult with vital signs. Satisfaction had a score of 6.18/7 (SD: 0.76), and recommendation of the mobile application had a score of 6.21/7 (SD: 0.81). This study showed a significant usability and acceptability of this mobile application, in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction.
医疗专业人员使用移动设备导致了移动医疗应用程序的快速发展，旨在改善医疗服务。本研究旨在评估移动应用程序在家庭住院方面对卫生专业人员工作的可接受性和可用性。采用混合方法。接受度包括专业人员的满意度、对使用应用程序的态度以及继续使用应用程序的意图或意愿。在实验室中进行了可用性测试，分析了五个受控的临床任务，参与者与移动应用程序的交互基于美国心理协会发布的六个基本面部表情。使用计算机系统可用性问卷评估感知满意度。32 名参与者完成了任务场景和问卷。超过 90%的参与者仅在生命体征方面遇到一些困难的情况下能够完成任务。满意度得分为 6.18/7（标准差：0.76），移动应用程序的推荐得分为 6.21/7（标准差：0.81）。这项研究表明，该移动应用程序在有效性、效率和满意度方面具有显著的可用性和可接受性。
