Background:
Mobile health (mHealth) apps are increasingly integrated into clinical workflows to support decision-making and adherence to best practices. Usability is a critical determinant of adoption, engagement, and long-term use.
Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the usability of the C8 Health platform deployed in the Department of Anesthesiology at MetroHealth in 2024.
Methods:
A quality improvement initiative was conducted using the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ). A total of 142 anesthesiology clinicians participated by completing the questionnaire. This study was reported in accordance with the SQUIRE (Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence) guidelines for quality improvement reporting.
Results:
The overall MAUQ scores indicated high usability, with mean scores greater than 5.5 across core items (overall mean MAUQ score 5.73, SD 0.81). These findings suggest strong user satisfaction and positive engagement with the C8 Health platform among anesthesiology clinicians.
Conclusions:
The C8 Health platform demonstrated high usability in an anesthesiology setting. These results support its integration as a clinical decision support tool to enhance workflow efficiency and adherence to best practices.
