By applying the DEMIGNED principles in expert testing, evaluators were able to capture 79.6% (144/181) of all usability problem encounters in the user testing of a mobile website for people visiting a memory clinic, including people living with dementia. Regarding unique usability problems, 50% (18/36) of the unique usability problems identified during the heuristic evaluation were captured by the user-testing sessions. Future research should look into the applicability of the DEMIGNED principles to other digital health functionalities to increase the accessibility of digital health and decrease digital health inequity for this complex and rapidly increasing population.
