A influência da articulação tipográfica na legibilidade, leiturabilidade e usabilidade de um aplicativo de bulário: uma análise do aplicativo móvel MedSUS

Abstract

The typography is shown as a primary element when it comes to the transmission of reports via text. In the case of patient information leaflets, typography and its bad articulation can result in an inefficient readability and thus the misunderstanding of the information contained therein (Hammerschmidt, 2014, p. 218). Therefore it is understood that the research in question is relevant because it seeks to understand how the typographic articulation adopted in the mobile application MedSUS impacts on reading the patient information leaflets and comprehension. For this, a usability test was performed with smartphone with regular users (patients) in order to evaluate the readability and readability of texts found in the medication package inserts. A cooperative evaluation was then carried out with technical users (medical) to find relevant problems related to the MedSUS application interface. As a result, there was an improvement of satisfaction of regular users regarding the use of the application with the improved typographic aspects and the technical users evaluated as being of low utility the application in question for the use in medical care. Finally, recommendations are presented for the use of typography in the presentation of texts of drug inserts in mobile application MedSUS.
